虽然Cream在一起只有一两年以上,但他们的影响力是巨大的,论是在他们的后期,六十年代的高峰，并在随后几年中面临解体的危险。Cream是第一个真正发挥了强势三人组的形式团体,而在1960和1970年代创作出许多蓝调摇滚和重摇滚音乐,从而在这个过程中奠定了基础.也正是凭着Cream,他手 Eric Clapton真正成为一个国际巨星.他引述音乐家重视的flash, 艺术(尤其是音乐)上的熟练技巧,表演不惜牺牲品味和关注的焦点。他们有时真实的显现出生活的特殊,但在现实中它们有最优秀的录音工作室,融合了蓝调，流行，以及迷幻,用于的简洁的原始材料比蓝调和超长的独奏多.

虽然在1986年中旬乐队成立时没有任何3名团员被广为人知, 但Cream仍被看作是第一个超级团队,从而变成了超级巨星. Eric Clapton最大的声誉是使自己在Yardbirds成为一个吉他英雄,然后在一个更蓝调密集型的环境里与John Mayall's Blues breakers.( 在美国，他对所有未知的，在离开yardbirds之前， "感谢你的爱" ，取得了美国十强). bassist /歌手Jack Bruce和鼓手Ginger Baker都在Graham Bond组织，是一个被低估的英国蓝调组合.即广泛借鉴后，爵士乐背景的音乐家之一。Jack Bruce也已非常简短的成员之一， blues breakers沿着传统文化，还扼要介绍了其中一员Manfred Mann，当他成为特别是急于付房租的人。

所有这三个音乐家向往摆脱禁锢的标准摇滚/R&B/蓝调组，在一个单位，这将使它们有更多的乐器和即兴自由，塑造爵士乐的装束。Eric Clapton的惊人的吉他独奏会获得很多的奉承，但Bruce是至少作为一个负责任的，为塑造团体的声音，歌唱比赛，大部分的材料在他丰富的声音。他也写自己的原创，有时协作外界的抒情王子Pete Brown.
在第一次Cream的重点是电气化和传统蓝调，其中占主导地位的是他们的第一张专辑Fresh Cream,早在1967年初就登上了英国十大排行榜。正像"N.S.U." and "I Feel Free"作出的预告，表示乐队能够走出蓝调，他们真正发现自己的声音是在1967年下旬的Disraeli Gears，其中主要包括group-penned这首歌。在这里，他们不合时宜的振奋，有时是难以驾御的流行音乐，其中包括了很多令人难忘的旋律和有效的和谐的与预期相似的(爵士乐)反复乐节. "Strange Brew," "Dance the Night Away," "Tales of Brave Ulysses," and "S.W.L.A.B.R."是这当中最好的转折时期，该专辑打破了当时在美国的前5名。这也产生了自己的第一个美国单一的，"Sunshine of Your Love,"上了当时一个最流行的摇滚60分钟节目。

随着双专辑Wheels of Fire的诞生，Cream突破美国海图， 1968年建立与自己并肩的Beatles and Hendrix作为一个最大的摇滚行为，在世界上。该记录本身是一个比Disraeli Gears更古怪的事情，或许，必有所决定，目前单独碟片的工作室和生活物资;音乐会的轨道，特别是做了很多，以确定其声誉，或好或坏的，为拉歌的方式，过去十年-分钟印记阶段。该majestically厄运的"白色房间"给了Cream另一庞大的美国单身，该集团是牢固地确立为其中最大的活提请任何种类的。他们决定在1968年下旬解散,就在这个时候，他们似乎是在对大部分的摇滚听众的一个巨大的打击。

Cream的寿命很短，但是，现在回想事后才惊讶给予了相当的人才，野心，并自负了它的每一个成员。Clapton尤其是厌倦吹远离听众与纯粹的权力，要探索更加隐蔽的方向。乐队解体，在 1968年11月之后告别了美国之旅，。不过在1969年，它们在一定意义上有史以来规模最大的一次追授这张专辑的内容,演播室和生活物资， Goodbye，取得了第二，突出所困扰颓废Eric Clapton -George Harrison组成的"Badge," 依然是Cream的最亲爱的轨道.

Clapton and Baker会很快死灰复燃，在1969年上半年短命的超级团对，他们在任何摇滚事业上总是最成功的。布鲁斯和贝克从来没有达到几乎一样高的水平在离开 Clapton后，但都保持忙碌在随后几十年的各种有趣的项目，在各个领域的摇滚，爵士，与实验音乐

Although Cream was only together for a little more than two years, their influence was immense, both during their late-60s peak and in the years following their breakup. Cream was the first top group to truly exploit the power-trio format, in the process laying the foundation for much blues-rock and hard rock of the 1960s and 1970s. It was with Cream, too, that guitarist Eric Clapton truly became an international superstar. Critical revisionists have tagged the band as overrated, citing the musicians emphasis upon flash, virtuosity, and showmanship at the expense of taste and focus. This was sometimes true of their live shows in particular, but in reality the best of their studio recordings were excellent fusions of blues, pop, and psychedelia, with concise original material outnumbering the bloated blues jams and overlong solos.

Cream could be viewed as the first rock supergroup to become superstars, although none of the three members were that well-known when the band formed in mid-1966. Eric Clapton had the biggest reputation, having established himself as a guitar hero first with the Yardbirds, and then in a more blues-intensive environment with John Mayalls Bluesbreakers. (In the States, however, he was all but unknown, having left the Yardbirds before For Your Love made the American Top Ten.) Bassist/singer Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker had both been in the Graham Bond Organisation, an underrated British R&B combo that drew extensively upon the jazz backgrounds of the musicians. Bruce had also been, very briefly, a member of the Bluesbreakers along Clapton, and also briefly a member of Manfred Mann when he became especially eager to pay the rent.

All three of the musicians yearned to break free of the confines of the standard rock/R&B/blues group, in a unit that would allow them greater instrumental and improvisational freedom, somewhat in the mold of a jazz outfit. Eric Claptons stunning guitar solos would get much of the adulation, yet Bruce was at least as responsible for shaping the groups sound, singing most of the material in his rich voice. He also wrote their best original compositions, sometimes in collaboration with outside lyricist Pete Brown.

At first Creams focus was electrified and amped-up traditional blues, which dominated their first album, Fresh Cream, which made the British Top Ten in early 1967. Originals like N.S.U. and I Feel Free gave notice that the band were capable of moving beyond the blues, and they truly found their voice on Disraeli Gears in late 1967, which consisted mostly of group-penned songs. Here they fashioned invigorating, sometimes beguiling hard-driving psychedelic pop, which included plenty of memorable melodies and effective harmonies along with the expected crunching riffs. Strange Brew, Dance the Night Away, Tales of Brave Ulysses, and S.W.L.A.B.R. are all among their best tracks, and the album broke the band big time in the States, reaching the Top Five. It also generated their first big U.S. hit single, Sunshine of Your Love, which was based around one of the most popular hard rock riffs of the 60s.

With the double album Wheels of Fire, Cream topped the American charts in 1968, establishing themselves alongside the Beatles and Hendrix as one of the biggest rock acts in the world. The record itself was a more erratic affair than Disraeli Gears, perhaps dogged by the decision to present separate discs of studio and live material; the concert tracks in particular did much to establish their reputation, for good or ill, for stretching songs way past the ten-minute mark on-stage. The majestically doomy White Room gave Cream another huge American single, and the group was firmly established as one of the biggest live draws of any kind. Their decision to disband in late 1968 — at a time when they were seemingly on top of the world — came as a shock to most of the rock audience.

Creams short lifespan, however, was in hindsight unsurprising given the considerable talents, ambitions, and egos of each of its members. Clapton in particular was tired of blowing away listeners with sheer power, and wanted to explore more subtle directions. After a farewell tour of the States, the band broke up in November 1968. In 1969, however, they were in a sense bigger than ever; a posthumous album featuring both studio and live material, Goodbye, made number two, highlighted by the haunting Eric Clapton-George Harrison composition Badge, which remains one of Creams most beloved tracks.

Clapton and Baker would quickly resurface in 1969 as half of another short-lived supergroup, Blind Faith, and Clapton of course went on to one of the longest and most successful careers of anyone in the rock business. Bruce and Baker never attained nearly as high a profile after leaving Cream, but both kept busy in the ensuing decades with various interesting projects in the fields of rock, jazz, and experimental music.
