Projecting, dude! She's talking about the zillion other early psych bands like Velvet Underground that have been mentioned and have fuzzy connections to prog!

Then once we include Cream and Sugar, we'll have to include Salt-N-Pepa of course.

I used to think that Cream would be a worthy addition to Proto-Prog, and I hardly think it a ridiculous suggestion (we also have projects by Cream member in PA, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker), but I also think that there are many more interesting and progressive groups with psych qualities from that time that could be considered before Cream.

I posted some of my earlier thoughts in this topic: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46247

I wouldn't be opposed myself to such a Proto-Prog addition from what I remember, but understand why others would.  And it has been discussed quite a few times.

It's no surprise that Cindy would bring up hollywood donald in a cream thread.


I'm politically agnostic but it doesn't appear that Cindy went there so why did others?

No. Not even if you had followed the band submission procedure.

You've not presented a good argument for a psych band to be added to a prog database.   Cream certainly influenced what is called proto-prog, but that's about as far as it went.

Nah... basically what The Dark Elf said. The psych elements aren't really enough to put them in the Archives, especially since most of their work is straightforward blues rock. Damn good band though!

There was really nothing progressive about Cream. Psychedelia and blues-rock. Love Cream, but they weren't prog. Or proto-prog. I would say the Eric Clapton-related band that was more progressive would have been Blind Faith.
