      Because in a commercial sense Eric Clapton is the name most known by the average music fan. Yes, Bruce and Baker are just as proficient as Clapton on their instruments and legends as well. Still, ask most people and they won't know the names Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker but they will definitely know the name Eric Clapton.

    Brad was spot on in his assessment that this was ahead of it’s time. Cream pretty much set the music world on fire with their short burst of creative output between 1966-1968.
    The world had heard nothing like this before; the tones and compositions, most certainly serving as a major influence on a young and upcoming Black Sabbath, who debuted in 1970, hot on the heels of Cream’s disbandment.

      Don't completely agree. Cream was a great group indeed, however, their sound was certainly heavily influenced by Hendrix and the Experience. Even though Cream formed shortly after the Experience Clapton like most other key figures in the British music scene had heard Jimi play live in London throughout 1966. They knew him well by that point, and as stated, Jimi was really the one who invented this heavy, distorted sound.

    Yes, it was ahead of its time, that was 1967 and the Summer of Love. Sabbath was influenced by Cream I'm sure, Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience had a profound effect on hard rock for sure.
    Cream was awesome both in studio or live, they would use their songs as starting points for imrov hard rock and blues, even a little jazz, jams that were ground breaking. Try the live version of Spoonful and see what I mean. Enjoy. 🎸

I first heard Sunshine of Your Love in 1967 and the first time I heard this Cream song was a new sound to me, 3 piece power rock band with Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass, two vocal harmony and Ginger Baker on drums. Cream had a good run from 1966-1968 and wished they could have taken the band further. Thank you for sharing! - Bob

    Good reaction and observations guys! Yes, this is basically a blues progression, dressed up with a catchy riff, and played LOUD! This was at the beginnings of LOUD rock, 1967. Hendrix was hitting at the same time, and this music would eventually morph into Black Sabbath (and many others!) in a year or two. Lex, that riff is simple…but as BB King once said, “Simple don’t mean easy!” 😁👍🎸

    Yes these were the Cream of the musicians working in the early 1960s when we were teenagers. Eric Clapton lead guitar and some vocals was coming out of the the very popular John Mayall's Blues Band and the Yardbirds, who were hard -working bands . Jack Bruce on bass was classically trained and was also a fearsome lead vocalist. He was in Manfred Mann for a short time too. Ginger Baker was coming out of jazz and blues and no one could touch any of them as musicians until Hendrix popped up on the scene.They blew the doors off!Every little teenage garage band got into this riff back then and got as big a set of amps as they could afford. My friends had a little blues band playing this at a few gigs.This was inspiring stuff. for budding musicians and it was new!.. it set off heavy rock but no bands had this kind of finesse and musicianship.....just three great albums and some amazing concerts until they went their separate ways which is another three stories right there ...each one of them had a great catalogue but only Clapton survives.There was a massive final concert and then many years later a reunion concert in 2005 th-cam.com/video/cYYeM_t6b5c/w-d-xo.html..both worth getting into .

    This riff is written by Jack Bruce, the phenomenal fretless bass player after seeing Jimi Hendrix in a club in London before he was big in the States. Yes, Jimi Hendrix had to be premiered in America after killing it in London while unassumingly putting Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend in his crossfire. Paul McCartney said that he and Eric Clapton went to see Jimi but didn't want to be seen. Not only did Jimi Hendrix play the song, 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', as it had just been released days earlier, he asked if Eric Clapton would be able to come up and re-tune his guitar! I believe they were spotted. Yes, this riff is iconic and everyone's first to learn whether a bass player or guitar player while introducing off-notes with down-beat notes. Jimi did a great instrumental of this song at Winterland in San Francisco upon hearing of their break-up. Thanks again!

    That WAS a good take, Brad. Cream pretty much redrew the map, introduced the supergroup, even if the term got thrown around more for the follow-up band, Blind Faith, with Eric and Ginger from Cream and Stevie Winwood from Spencer Davis Group, plus Rick Grech on bass.
    But the simplicity, directness, the blues with a twist structure, virtuoso playing and undeniable power and passion, conviction and innovation. ..this was the state of the art until someone...the Beatles, Hendrix, or Cream themselves blew everyone's doors off on Wednesday. Always loved that Clapton starts his iconic solo with a melodic quote from 'Blue Moon'. And the drums are unlike anything or anyone else. Hey, who TF ARE you guys?!!

    One of the songs famously covered by Jimi Hendrix when he got bored of playing the same stuff. Did a version on a TV show if I recall. Just stopped playing his own song after a few bars and basically said "forget this boring music, check this out!".
    Also, legend has it he played Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band a couple of days after it came out. While McCartney was in the audience no less.
    Back on topic, great riff, great dual vocals, just a great band!

I was so influenced by them it made adding effects seem like cheating. I think you could learn many Cream songs , Hendrix Purple Haze and Foxy Lady were a
