I'd say Pattie Boyd (Harrison and Clapton both wrote a fistful of superb songs about their feelings for her) although Marianne Faithful didn't do too badly either
This lady, I always moved by the lyrics to this beautiful song which co-incidentally was played on Radio 2 (preceded by "Spirit of Radio" by Rush) after the 0900 news this morning - stick that in your transmitter Heart!
Not a significant muse in anyway, but the Pixies song Make Believe, showcasing drummer David Lovering's obsession with 80s pop princess Debbie Gibson always makes me laugh. I prefer Julian Clary's view of young Debbie. When interviewing her, asking what she was up to and getting the response that she'd been in the studio recording, he spluttered "Good God, do we really need amother album from you?"

I'd go with Pattie Boyd. Her autobiography is a better insight into the early career and times of Mr Eric Clapton than Eric's own autobiography....probably because she can remember those times better than he did. It's well worth a read. She seems genuinely remorseful about how she dumped George Harrison for a drunk (Clapton, at that time) .... She was also one hot babe!!
