George Clinton has fingahed them as a big influence on Funkadelic, so yeah, I'm cool with 'em.

Big fan!

There are Cream fans everywhere....

There was a mini late-night season of Cream stuff on the BBC recently.Culminated in an Albert Hall reunion show I think.Great to see them at it.

I like that kind best though!

Tales Of Brave Ulysses

"You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.


And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.


And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.


The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.


Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.


The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter."

What a classic! It has to be their best song, and although it was written by Clapton, you couldn't better Jack Bruce's vocal performance. It's amazing!

And here's a little SRV while we're at it.

Jack Bruce wrote the riff to "Sunshine Of Your Love" as a tribute to Jimi and Jimi dug Cream as well.

Great vids!

I like some of their songs , Badge is my favourite.

Their other famous song was Sunshine of your love..but Jimi Hendrix did a better version of that song.

I still need to listen to my Cream BBC sessions thanks for reminding me.

Do u mean Cream by Prince, or the late 60s group

One good thing about Cream is that since they were so shortlived,...



...you don't have that many studio albums to wade through.
