This was the band that ruined Rock'n'Roll. Three part harmony vocals was put to rest. Ballrooms closed, groups like mine were creamed by the new Arena Rock sound!....I had to find a day job, the handwriting was on the wall. ViolinCool Dude....but I still have a pension,.... for drums.

Ginger Baker!

Eric Clapton with the fuzzy hairdo and Jack Bruce with the cool sunglasses.

THE Cream! Disraeli Gears was the very first album I ever bought with my own money....mainly because I was about 9 years old and the Day-Glo colors on the cover art caught my eye.

Pretty good for a jazz/blues band huh? :p

Ginger always said Cream was a Jazz band, Eric always said it was a Blues band and Jack never said what it was! Cool1

No matter what genre they were they kicked A$$ i saw their farewell performance in L.A. in 1968 it was unbelievable... Oh and a group named Deep Purple opened for them it was their 1st American performance and i was blown away ... never again will we have the talent and great bands that we had in the 60's and early seventies...

I say there are plenty of talented bands out there right now. I would rather have to sing a Linkin Park song naked in front of twenty thousand people over having to simply listen to a Beattles song :p

When we lost the dance we lost Rock'N'Roll. The ‘shock factor’ was a large part of what was to come and what was seen as ‘Rock’s rebellion’. Mass-produced music with the 'shock factor' was a wall street marketing tool.

Listeners from the sidelines of Arena Rock amlification were able to live the rebellious lifestyle through the music produced of marketed superstars only, but without dance listeners were now cut off from it's essence, the human touch. The spirituality of it origins would be replaced now by alienation. Violin

But don't worry , it will all come back. Cause it was Cool ! Cool1

This I don't understand.......Anyone after the Beatles would not be around at all if it wasn't for the Beatles, including Linkin Park......and the Beatles wouldn't have been around if it wasn't for Chuck Berry! You gotta understand and respect where it all came from as a musician......

With that said, I'd rather listen to a Beatles song than the crap that Linkin Park does :p

I'd sing a Lulu song naked. It just sounds like a fun thing to do. With that said, there are very few real bands being promoted these days. Freekin' producers discovered many years ago with Fabian and the lot that they could make and mass market music ... and people would buy it.
