I think Clapton is overrated, but he is @#$%& good.
Just my opinion, of course.
1. Hendrix
2. Tom Morello (not the 'best' but his playing excites me. He is the sole reason i began playing)
3. Frank Zappa
4. Ali Farka Toure
5. John Lee Hooker
Others include Johnny Greenwood, BB King, George Harrison, Neil Young
This top 5 will change tomorrow, I can't decide on a definitive list
You'll notice I haven't chosen the most technically proficient players, but rather those guitarists who made me sit up and take notice. I'm really not interested in hearing somebody like Steve Vai play 12,000 scales in 4 seconds. Bores the @#$%& out of me.
