Should Cream be added? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

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.

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!

Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Hi,

Agreed!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.
