[@michaellynch9550]

This song doesn’t have to be complicated to be great. It’s a vibe. This song has a level of cool that most songs don’t have.

[@denisemay6807]

True, look how popular Louie, Louie was. That’s about as simple a song as you can find.

[@lydiaboswell9789]

This sound is being produced by only 3 instruments. It led the way to heavy rock.

[@poloreacts27]

I agree it doesn’t have to be complicated. What I was trying to say is it didn’t feel special to me

[@joergquasnowitz3495]

@@poloreacts27 - this is what we called a super group back then in the 60s and 70s. I haven't experienced anything on that level since the 80s. 3 artists. Each individually true masters of their instruments. Ginger Baker in my mind is one of the all time greatest drummers, Jack Bruce's bass has taught and influenced generations of bass players since, and Eric, well - what should I say. Their concerts were more like jam sessions. And because they were individually so creative, Cream was doomed to only exist a relatively short time, The members each evolved in their individual directions. But it was unbeaten while it lasted. They made an impact that mattered.

[@kennay1232]

almost everybody will like this song it's very approachable@@poloreacts27

[@user-uz5ll8gj6h]

This song blew everyone's mind when it came out. People weren't used to the heaviness of it... Yes, it's simple but it was like a pivotal moment in the heavy rock genre.

[@stj971]

This was precursor to Led ZEP believe it or not w Clapton. Crossroads, Spoonful and others better.

[@markberger1199]

Cream was laying the foundation. Their music was an inspiration to a lot of songs that followed.

[@djknox2]

This is THE ICONIC rock song of the 60s. Brilliant.

[@jumperpence]

Black Sabbath!

I'm not sure I agree with that. Of the entire 1960s? No.

[@richardeast3328]

Well, at least in the top ten.

[@djknox2]

@@richardeast3328 yes AT LEAST!

[@TweedSuit]

It was recorded 57 years ago - believe me, it blew minds back then and informed EVERY hard rock band that followed.

[@bradbailey1893]

I’m nearly 63. The ‘60s, ‘70s and into the ‘80s were a spectacularly rich and creative period for music. Even pop music was on another level (esp compared to today).

[@nathanfisher1826]

Song was ground breaking for it’s time 😮

[@kathrynnisse5105]

Now you're talkin'. I was 17 when this song came out. I was raised with music. Parents, 30's, 40's & 50's. My uncle was 16 when I was born. He introduced us to rock & Roll in the 50's. I've had all types of music in my life.

[@sharonelliott2366]

Wow, you're experience with music was ver similar to mine! We were so lucky.

[@kevinsattler6603]

1951 vintage. Been an amazing ride start to finish loved it. Peace ✌️

[@carolynbailey7081]

Born in 1950. Parents did not listen to much music. Older brother and sister started me on Elvis and early rock and roll and soul. Grew up with Elvis, The Beatles, The Supremes, Sonny and Cher(the fur vest days)Little Anthony and The Imperials, The Jackson’s, Little Richard, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Vinton and many more. My taste in music has always been eclectic. From Jethro Tull to Switched on Bach, Black Sabbath to Santana to Liza Manellii, Streisand and classical. I feel so lucky to live through some of the greatest music ever offered. Love your channel and seeing you enjoying some of the greatest music ever written and performed. It is like hearing it again for the first time.

[@lesbart]

Remember, Cream was only two guitars and a drummer. Sunshine of your Love is one of the songs that was synonymous with psychedelia. Even if you didn't take drugs, this era of music had a mystical quality which was new to my generation. This was the beginning of Eric Clapton's career; one of the world's greatest guitarist.

[@user-eo5zn4hq8s]

One guitar (Clapton), one bass (Bruce), and drums (Baker).

[@signals-72]

As a metal-head, this song is so soulful and so bluesy, I just assumed everyone likes it.

[@StudMacher96]

As a fellow metal head I feel you man! Cream, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones. To me it doesn’t get more soft rock than that.

[@johnwhite7320]

A super group. Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker.

[@Deam7666]

Yes!! Such amazing sound coming from 3 guys!!

[@portialancaster3442]

Saw them live at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. They knocked my socks off.

[@mikensd]

Super group?!? I don't think so. Cream was the most overrated group of excellent musicians to ever assemble. But they never did anything even close to putting them in the same league with ELP, YES, Return to Forever, Zappa, Pink Floyd, etc. They did they have a psychedelic 'cool' factor for the times (I was there), I'll give them that. I never wasted my money on their vinyl or eight tracks. As far as rock goes, Led Zeppelin blew this band away hands down.

[@robertkelly6282]

The first super group

[@daddyboy3546]

Please don’t forget Felix Pappalardi who wrote, arranged, produced (and played) on Disraeli Gears onward and Pete Brown who wrote the lyrics!

[@chadheckman2693]

I understand you reaction. Us older generation liked it because it was so different for the time. It had this hypnotizing effect that was new to many of us. We loved it.

[@MamaSally79]

I LOVE this song! This was music from my mom's time. My dad was born in 29, my mom in 46, me in 79. I love all eras and most all music. Like you said, if I like it, I like it. 🤷‍♀️

[@msantello1]

My folks were of the 40's Big Band Swing era. As a teen I didn't pay attention to that genre, but as an adult I really appreciated it and saw it as a precursor to R & R.

[@ridesilent]

Same here. (Est. 1953) It wasn’t till my 30’s when I married my wife, who is 5 years older, that I started listening to her music more-50’s pop & rock-and she loved her parents music too and turned me on the the great songbook and those artists. Now I have so much to enjoy! - Cream was my intro into 60’s music and listening high!

[@markberger1199]

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

[@bardaghohio]

Before you can have Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, etc., you have to have Cream. The "simple" leads to the complex. As was stated earlier, Cream was definitely ground-breaking at the time. Take a listen to more music from this era, and a lot of it *does* sound a bit simplistic today, but, those groups were laying the foundation for all that followed. Loved this reaction, though...you're honesty does you credit!

[@ClearlyBlissful]

Another classic rock band to check out is Steppenwolf. Their song “Born To Be Wild” was in the first of five songs to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because of its impact on rock. The words “Heavy Metal” originated from that song, although lead singer John Kay wasn’t referring to music. The song was the theme for the film Easy Rider. A good driving song too. There’s other good songs as well, such as “Magic Carpet Ride”.

[@pstanton2445]

Don't forget about "Rock Me."

[@jayniesgottagun]

This was my music. Fun and not that difficult to play on the guitar. Edit: Cream songs - White Room, Badge, Crossroads, Born Under a Bad Sign, Spoonful, Strange Brew

[@shobudski6776]

Deserted Cities of the Heart, SWLABR, Tale of Brave Ulysses, Those Were the Days and of course Toad!

I'd always hear this song playing on my mom's car radio on the way to ball practice.... that's how cool she was 😍😍#peace

[@andrewhellman7034]

With Cream, it’s always the drums that take the song from really good to exceptional. Ginger Baker was an absolute monster - any drummer of the era will admit to being utterly intimidated by his technique and “swing.”

[@lisawinnett4032]

My mother introduced me to everything swing, the American standards such Sinatra, to Tom Jones, the Beatles, R&B Supremes, temptations, Marvin Gaye,Nillson, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, David Bowie, and through the 80’s. She accepted new music as she grew old and influenced my love of all these types of music. Best gift she gave me.

[@suesmith7968]

My parents listened to the ‘pop’ music of their day - the big bands like Glenn Miller, the singers like Sinatra. Good music, sure. I still remember lots of the words and music. Then, as a 16 year old in 1967, I heard this and went down an entirely different road!!! Their music was like a social event. My music was personal with headphones, listening to the entire album in one sitting while I admired the album cover art and read the liner notes. ☮️❤️

[@wesrobmat]

I loved their music. 13 years old going through their vinyl collection and finding Cream, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Queen, Metallica the list goes on.

[@cadymauro5792]

Parents music planted the seed within me. All I listen to still I'm 57. My dad was a musician and I still love this

[@robincopeland7535]

My sisters are 11 and 12 years older than I am. They strongly influenced my musical tastes "back in the day" and I still listen to those classics: The Beattles, Led Zeppelin, anything George Clinton, Parliament Funkadelic, to name a few! Thank you sisters!

[@madelinenorton7919]

My Dad liked country music my mom liked a lot of big bands from the 40's., a little bit of everything else. This song brought back 8:03 a lit of memories from the 60's. I'm now 74 and enjoy a little bit of everything.

[@noother964]

I appreciate the honesty of the reaction, that's what we're here for! Cream were known for their extended live jams, all three were amazing musicians. They absolutely knew "complex". But they also knew when to keep it simple. This hard driving riff still gives me goosebumps, after all these decades -and the layers behind it are not as simple as they seem. Also, there's this rich and soaring guitar sound, and the fullness of the sonic space created by just three people back when the production gimmicks were very limited.

[@deea7348]

Jack Bruce was the greatest bassist in the world. You have chosen my favorite group of all times. Cream was the top dog. At 71 I have listened to just about all genres of music. The sixty artists cannot be beat. Nuff said…….lol…don’t give up on Cream, there is so much more. You have to understand their music, but of course I grew up in the sixties with all the “hippy” bands. It’s the lyrics, the sounds, the poetry in motion, and yes, the reefer….lolololo

[@julieflick5636]

Great song, this song is from my parents teen years, grew up with Cream, Zeppelin, Hendrix, etc being my foundation, and loved it. I think this era of music made me appreciate classical, jazz, and many music genres.

[@MrVvulf]

Hard Rock itself owes its existence to the Blues. The British bands of the early 1960s were hugely influenced by the Blues, Motown, and even Jazz (especially the "Take Five" album by Dave Brubeck Quartet).

[@painfullyaware5221]

It's hard to appreciate early psychedelic rock like this today because we've already heard all the more sophisticated music that evolved from it, like Pink Floyd. But, imagine growing up hearing nothing but Patty Duke, The Everly Brothers, and that style of music, and then this comes at you. It was literally revolutionary; drove adults crazy and absolutely upended social norms.

[@painfullyaware5221]

@littlebearskye1863 Yeah, you're right. I used Pink Floyd as an example because they were referenced in the video. I probably should have said that it's hard to appreciate early psychedelic music when you've grown up hearing the more sophisticated music that evolved from those early, relatively simple creations. Those musicians really grew as artists over the years.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

whatever you mean by "more sophisticated" 🙄 you're totally wrong

[@edwardbarrett453]

This album was my first concert I was 12 and my uncle took, that night changed my life. It was mind blowing, all of the people and the atmosphere was crazy.

[@mikebo5926]

Every garage band in America had to learn this song if they wanted to play at the local dances.

[@MWish999]

I listened to my parents music at home, we come from a Ukrainian background and listened to a lot of Ukrainian music, country music, blues, classical, folk, and more. I was fortunate to grow up in an era of amazing televised variety/musical shows. As children we were introduced to every genre of music and I learned to love them all. I can still remember the words to many songs from back then. The talent included the greats like Carol Burnett, Nat King Cole, Johnny Cash, Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Glen Campbell, Donnie & Marie, Tony Orlando & Dawn, Victor Borge, Judy Garland, Kingston Trio, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Elvis, Ray Charles, Brenda Lee, and that's just naming some of the amazing talent who appeared on shows like American Bandstand, Smothers Brothers, Shindig, Hootenanny, Let's Sing Out, Soul Train, Midnight Special, and again, so many more. My list is incomplete, I've missed so many greats. I continue to listen to all kinds of music.

[@bobbyd968]

The Cream was one of my favorites back on the 60's. I saw them live in 68 in their first US appearance.

[@craigtennant7637]

This is a great song. Part of the fabric of my youth

[@michaelvaristo989]

I saw this live in Detroit back in 67 at the Grande Ballroom. They changed everything. Still the best band I ever saw. The songs were insane jam sessions. You had to be there to understand.

[@PanheadJeff58]

Yes, my folks listened to the Ventures, Dick Dale and 50's rock.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

We could feel how special this song was when there wasn't all the stuff that came after it to compare it to. Music was changing drastically and songs like this were at the tip of the spear.

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

We always had music in my house and a great variety. I loved my mom's Andtews Sisters and classical music..the Ames Brothers..my dad was partial to Nat King Cole and Johnny Cash lol. I can listen to any of those, and still do once in a while. But I was 17 in 1970. The music of my era is still played every day at my house. Full blast!

(A) loved their music when young, made me appreciate all good music since 🎶

[@donaldinman8357]

I was born I 1950. My dad always played big bands (Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman etc.), show tunes, and barbershop quartet as well as classical music. As. A youngster I loved it all. In the early 60’s I discovered rock then blues , folk and world music. The music out of Africa is fantastic. Enjoy good musicianship in any genre . Not a big Polka fan. I like your channel a lot.

[@larrynorgaard5730]

Born same year, my dad loved Lawrence Welk.. i hated it. Mom always had country music playing, dad was always working. I loved the old country Hank, Marty et all... But l loved all the rock n roll on the radio in the 50's 60's.

[@daseguin]

I was born in '67. My dad had a huge collection of "101 Strings", and various other albums like soundtracks and such. I loved a ton of those songs, like Paul Mauriat's Love Is Blue, etc. As the youngest of 8, i was hearing the rock sounds of the 70s and fell in love with music, but was first captivated by The Beatles. My all-time fave bands are The Beatles, Stones, Zep, The Who, The Guess Who, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Bad Company, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Cream.

Yes I loved their music. My dad is the one that got me into jazz. Back in the early sixties hewould listen to the tijuana brass, a sax player named Sil Austin ( you should check out) and Miles Davis,etc… and my mom played albums from Barbra Streisand, musicals suchas West Side Sory and South Pacific. I grew up with alot of diversity and happy I did. I loved listening to it all, and still do. ❤❤❤

I liked some of my parents’ music when I was young, but what they regularly played was only a small set of their record collection. As I got older, into my teens, I sampled their LP collection from one end to the other. I found quite a few things I had never heard from them that I really like and those have stuck with me. From James Taylor to Janis Joplin; The Beatles to Black Sabbath. It was a treasure trove of vinyl.

My mother was into Santana, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, as well as immortals like Nat King Cole. This was early 60s. She was ahead of her time. The albums she owned made a huge impact on me. And she took me to my first concert, Alice Cooper/Billion Dollar Babies Tour, when I was thirteen.

Willie finally came out w/ a big cloud of smoke & we got autographs & photos taken. Years later I found out what the cloud was & I've been smoking & listening to Willie ever since.

I grew up listening to my parents “oldies music” 60’s and 70’s. I was born in 67. Then I was listening to my older brother and sisters music they were 7 and 8 years older than me. So I’m a product of 60’s-90’s old southern classic rock, Motown, Latin , disco, so much more and well rounded. Wish you’d do more classic older music. Aretha Franklin, Gladys knight, Diana Ross, temptations, peaches and herb, police, Styx, Wilson Phillips, expose. I could go on and on. Love what you do. So much good authentic pure raw talent out there.

[@joebwankenobi5194]

I listened to my parents music and loved it, my dad got me into Motown, CCR, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Elvis. He’s a big fan of Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Temptations. I’ve passed that on to my kids, they are 25 and 17. They love Lionel Richie, MJ, Prince, and all the classics like Zep, Floyd, and Motown. My son especially, a young 17 yr old NC country boy, is all about some Motown, and that era, Al Green, Commodores, etc

[@casageorgia]

I was born in 1952 and wasn't exposed to much music at first. We were too busy playing outside. Some of the singers had their own TV shows, so we got to know their music that way. One of my favorite singers was and still is Jimmy Durante. My dad loved that singer so I got to know about him when I was young.

[@catherinecrow5662]

My parents listened to classical, jazz and Broadway musicals . I liked all all of it, although I was Blown away by Cream, and saw them in their first tour of the states, in '67. I was 15 or 16. My Dad and I had a conversation about the jazz and blues influences had on Cream. I love listening to my folks favorite artists as they are no longer living, a way to connect with them ...

I grew up with parents who sang a lot, mother played the piano, it was church & christmas songs but with dad loved such as anything by Paul Robeson, Earth Kitt & other Soulful singers of his era.

We lived in a small town with one radio station and they played Top 40 most of the time through the 60's and early 70's so the whole family listened to whatever was popular. We also watched Ed Sullivan on Sunday nights as a family and he always had a variety of musical and other acts. As we kids grew older, we started to like our own music. One brother was very into rock and I was very into the singer-songwriters (Neil Diamond, Cat Stevens, John Denver, etc.) but we had to keep our records in the family room so anybody can listen to anything. My tastes still are all over the map

My parents had great taste in Music.🎵 Dad loved Latin music and there was lots of dancing.LOUDLY WHENEVER POSSIBLE.😊 They loved all the ROCK hits in the 60's & 70's. Knew the lyrics too. Back then growing up in NYC our Radio Stations were fantastic too. Car radios blasting BANGERS every day. Lucky me❗

My parents grew up in the depression and were fans of that generation’s music, but they had the am top whatever playing on the radio through my childhood in the 60’s and genuinely seemed to appreciate it.

My parents provided me a wide range of music. They played musicals from broadway: South Pacific, Oklahoma, Carousel West side Story and many others. My father was a fan of the music of his age like Benny Goodman and George Gershwin and he was very much into the jazz of Dave Brubeck and artists like Nat King Cole and Gene Krupa. I heard this music all the time and it stuck to me. That said I was totally involved with the music of the 60’s Rock, Soul, and even Folk music. Today at 77 I am a product of what my parents showed me and my own tastes but I am very grateful that they exposed me to some of the greatest music of their day.

I have always loved music and the music I loved most was from my time. Loved the 30-50's my mother loved and she loved some of mine from the 70's. And my kids (now adults) love music from my era and my grands love it, too. Took then to see the Minion movie, laced with 60-70's tunes and they asked me how I already knew the words to the songs in the movie! LOL!

One of my favorite songs in high school.

[@DonP_is_lostagain]

My parent's music was Big Band, and I did get into it in my young teens. And I do indeed listen to it today.

[@michaelmccloskey2606]

Born in 60. My mother had the, what, top 20 or 30 going on in the radio on top of the refrigerator. My cottony mind thought all those Motown girl groups were on a stage playing live.

Polo, I'm old (72) and my parents are long dead having been born in 1913 & 14. Did you know that in 1923 only 1% of US households had an AM radio and by 1931 that figure had increased to 37%. FM radio didn't come about until the 1950's and that's when televisions became available to the average consumer. I grew up listening to country music, crooners, gospel, and Broadway/Hollywood hits because that was all you could get on the AM radio. The 60's saw the British Invasion with the Beatles breaking on to the scene in 1962/63. That's when it all began to change, not only the music but also the equipment for listening to it. I was lucky enough to lived thru the greatest period of popular music in this country, peopled by some of the most gifted musicians ever. Rock on!

0:28 yes we loved our parents music and still listen to it. I was born in 82 and I love 90’s tunes but the 70’s was just Top notch undeniably the best era of music

[@lennieblue]

Loved my parents music (1950's, 1960's) then and still do. Like you I like many ages of music.

[@ginger7044]

My folks graduated from high school in 1953 and 1956. Yes! I loved that music...what i thought of as rock and roll.

[@franksullivan1873]

A great three man band.Eric Clapton on guitar,Jack Bruce on bass ,lead vocal and Ginger Baker on drums.

[@rosemarywatson1231]

My parents listened to gospel, r&b, a little jazz,(my dad), and a little swing,( my dad) again. I listened to their stuff then and now too. This song is from my teen years. This is what my brother and I were into. We wore the granny glasses, bell bottoms, went barefoot sometimes. Hung out on Sunset digging the hippie scene. But overall the radio played everything and we listened to it all

[@bradsense7431]

My parents were WW2 generation. When growing up if I heard music from that era would be mainly in old movies. And I always kind of like it. Now I have been exposed to so much more music from 1930 and 40s by listening to a radio station with programs that feature music from that era. Programs called”When Jazz Was King”, “Swing Shift” and “Those Were The Days” have given me a great appreciation of that music.

[@dennytate26]

To answer your question, I grew up in the 70s but my dad listened to Johnny Cash and my mom listened to Elvis and you can't go wrong with either of them, but it was always rock&roll for me weather it was 50s 60s or 70s I even got into punk rock, but I always found what was good and can appreciate true talent.

[@pogo2076]

I was born in the 1940's. My mother always had a radio in the kitchen and she listened to torch singers. I still know all the words to things like That Ole Black Magic and Kiss of Fire as well of many of the songs of Patty Page, Rosemary Clooney and Sarah Vaughn and others.... .............................. Of course it sounds familiar....... it's ole slowhand (Clapton) in the early years.
