Because their music was bad.

ugh should i not listen to Cream

i would add 65. mamas and papas!

Swen, Thursday, 21 March 2024 14:38 (one year ago)

woah a Cream song just came on and it might've been the worst song i've ever heard

Swen, Thursday, 21 March 2024 14:41 (one year ago)

listen to Cream covers. they are always better. there is no bad soul/funk/jazz cover of sunshine of your love. they all kinda rule.

scott seward, Thursday, 21 March 2024 14:56 (one year ago)

The guitar riff in Sunshine of Your Love is a blues riff that manages to not sound bluesy. It gives me the image of Frankenstein trying and badly failing to quietly creep down a staircase.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 21 March 2024 15:07 (one year ago)

it feels like pop-blues. in a good way.

weirdly though I hate just about every cover of it. other than Earth Crisis's, which is funny.

CEO Greedwagon (Neanderthal), Thursday, 21 March 2024 15:24 (one year ago)

One of my core tapes in middle school was a Cream best-of, and these songs have been popping into my head lately (“Badge,” “White Room,” “Anyone for Tennis,” “Sunshine…”); I haven’t heard most of them in decades. I should revisit, if only to complete the circuit…

let’s get intertwined (morrisp), Thursday, 21 March 2024 15:37 (one year ago)

I did a count in my head, and there are only 43 bands better than Cream. They're great.

clemenza, Thursday, 21 March 2024 15:37 (one year ago)

My appreciation of ZZ Top and Foghat has gained recently, so I thought I’d give Fresh Cream a try again. No dice. I like Jack Bruce’s voice and odd songwriting, but all the blues covers are dire. I really dislike Clapton’s guitar tone, and Ginger drums like a bull in a china shop most times. “Toad” is really bad.

Requiem for a Dream: The Musical! (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 21 March 2024 16:53 (one year ago)

they should have stole hendrix's drummer.
