Cream were an English rock power trio formed in 1966 by Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. In a short original career they helped pioneer blues-rock, psychedelic rock and the power-trio format; their studio albums Disraeli Gears and Wheels Of Fire and their live performances are frequently cited in the reviews.

Members: Eric Clapton (guitar), Jack Bruce (bass, vocals), Ginger Baker (drums). Formed in 1966 and originally active through 1968. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a reunion performance in 1993; reunited for concerts at Royal Albert Hall in May 2005.

Cream are presented in the reviews as a short-lived but hugely influential English rock power trio. Disraeli Gears and Wheels Of Fire are highlighted as key studio achievements, while multiple reviews praise their live improvisational power. Reviewers stress the trio's role in bridging blues, psychedelia and early hard rock. The band's brief original run (mid-late 1960s) and later reunions (notably 2005 Royal Albert Hall) are noted.

 "The reunion was ridiculous," said Baker again, it wasn't so, but it was right that it did not go further, thus a great story was closed in a worthy manner, the story of Cream, the first supergroup in rock history.
