{{quote|''The Cream never really played that much blues. I think we aimed to start a revolution in musical thought. We set out to change the world, to upset people, and to shock them... Our aim was to get so far away from the original line that you're playing something that's never been heard before.''|Eric Clapton}}
[[Cream]] was an extremely influential English band active from 1966 to 1969, reuniting a few times since. Cream was made up of [[Eric Clapton]] (guitar), Ginger Baker (drums), and Jack Bruce (bass). All three musicians were already well known in the English rock scene at the time, thus making Cream one of the first [[Supergroup|supergroups]] and the [[Trope Namer|first to be referred as such]]. During their three years of existence, they released four albums, all of which reached the top 6 of the UK Albums Chart.
Cream basically <s>invented</s> popularized and helped [[Trope Codifier|codify]] psychedelic rock and brought blues-rock into the mainstream with songs based on both traditional blues (such as "Crossroads" and "Spoonful") and modern blues. Cream also popularized the use of the wah-wah pedal.
Line 19:
Cream's influence has extended far, from progressive rock bands such as Rush to jam bands such as the Grateful Dead to heavy metal bands such as Black Sabbath. [[VH-1]] and Rolling Stone have both called Cream one of the best bands of all time. Most of all, one of their number one fans was of course [[Jimi Hendrix]], who came to England in hope of meeting [[Eric Clapton]], his idol.
