I think Cream should be added to the Psychedelic sub genre, just because Cream is pretty psychedelic. They were a pretty prevalent ‘60s Psych band, so yeah.

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.

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!

Cream should be added to coffee but not much else!

Hi,
Agreed!

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. |

If you let in Cream, then you'd have to let in _____.

^ Donald Trump? Again, Trump had a minor influence on early progrock but not enough for a spot on a prog site. |

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

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

Sugar... Ray 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.

No not Cindy's doing, just my own nonsense. |

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!

I was shocked that Sugar Ray made it to Metal Music Archives. I had no idea their first album was actually metal! WHOAH

I agree. We gotta draw the line, or else we'll be including everyone.

The first couple of albums I think, man, those were the days. ;) All the more reason to keep out Cream if one's cuppa also needs a little Sugar ray stirred in, since the day that the words "Prog" and "Metal" are uttered in the same breath will be the day that Prog music is deemed officially dead. ;) Kidding, of course. Love that Cream track, though. |
