Quite easily, since I as well as millions of others including most in the music industry itself recognize the guy's talent as noteworthy.

In your opinion.
Admittedly I'm really not that huge a fan of his, but in your next breath you say...

You just made my point for me, and undermined your whole bias against the guy. Like him or not, at least be honest with yourself enough to recogize the talent.
Have you even heard any of his work prior to his solo career? The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Powerhouse, Cream, George Harrison, The Dirty Mac, Blind Faith, The Plastic Ono Band, Delaney, Bonnie & Friends, Derek and the Dominos, etc. Hello?
Why even argue about it? I see you begrudgingly put him on your list. Golly gee. :D
