[@caryheuchert]

“Wheels of Fire” is my favourite because of two Cream songs, I’ve always loved: “As You Said” and “Deserted Cities of the Heart” , followed by their wonderful “Fresh Cream” debut, “Disraeli Gears”, and finally “Goodbye”.

[@dt1978]

Agreed. As You Said was always my top favorite tune from Wheels of Fire. Our rankings are damn near the same as well.

[@caryheuchert]

D T I’ve always been a huge Jack Bruce fan. I think “As You Said” was a preview of things to come, for his solo years following Cream.

[@LuisGarcia-ee2tr]

Everything " Slowhand" was involved was fantastic. Sunshine of your live, Crossroads, Spoonful, Politician and White room are my fauvorite tunes. A great power trio. Excellente video Pete. Thanks

Love all their albums. Also Jack Bruce's "Songs for a Tailor" is brilliant. I Feel Free, NSU, Badge, Toad and the greatest of all White Room.

[@pablopistacio5661]

" Songs for a Tailor " was Jack's brilliant solo debut . Produced by Felix Pappalardi who , of course , produced most of the Cream albums .

[@daveben3573]

Great to find a review of Cream as one of my all time favourite bands. When I was about 14 years old I heard Live Cream Vol 2 and it changed everything!! The live versions of 'Tales of brave Ulysees' and 'Deserted Cities' still blow me away and are arguably the spark and influence for a whole heap of hard rock bands that followed on just after they disbanded.

[@jimandlizhudson2501]

Jack Bruce's vocals are amazing. His first two solo albms were genius.

1. Disraeli Gears 2. Wheels of Fire 3. Fresh Cream 4. Goodbye - love those studio tracks, but only 3 of them. Badge of course featured cowriter George Harrison on guitar. Notice the similarity with the riff in the bridge to Here comes the sun. Anyone who hasn't seen it should check out the Documentary Beware Mr. Baker. Quite revelatory. I always though Jack Bruce was the A hole in Cream. I can understand why Ginger had a hard time finding people to play with him later in his career. Thanks for a cool ranking video Pete. Cheers.

[@aviationlba747]

Man, I wish Cream stuck around for longer! They are one of the greatest live bands of all time and their studio material is fabulous too, more brutish than just about anyone else at the time, and even today. Here’s my ranking: 1. Wheels Of Fire (1968) - as musically interesting as Disraeli is, this is even more so. Even without the magnificent live disc, this would still be my number one, and it would easily make my top 10 albums of all time. 2. Disraeli Gears (a landmark album in psychedelic rock and in the creation of hard rock and heavy metal! Still kicks ass!. 3. Fresh Cream (1966) - a very notable debut, but I feel like many of the songs reach their true potential when performed live. 4. Goodbye (1969) - not a bad album by any means, and I feel that ‘Doing That Scrapyard Thing’ and ‘What A Bringdown’ are fun and vastly under appreciated songs. Here’s my top 10 Cream songs also, including some of their terrific blues covers: 1. Spoonful (Wheels Of Fire) 2. N.S.U. (Live Cream, Volume I) 3. Outside Woman Blues 4. Strange Brew 5. Born Under A Bad Sign 6. Sitting In The Top Of The World 7. Those Were The Days 8. I’m So Glad (Goodbye) 9. SWLABR 10. Passing The Time

[@aliens_exist_23]

Cream are my 1st ever favourite band! Great post. My list: 1) Wheels Of Fire 2) Fresh Cream 3) Disraeli Gears 4) Goodbye

[@dt1978]

This one is almost impossible. All four, especially the first three, were absolutely brilliant; depending on my mood, they could change at anytime. Geez. Here's my ranking (for now): #4. Goodbye - obviously, this was going to rank at the bottom. Badge is clearly the best on here. Here it gets REAL difficult. #3. Disraeli Gears - The first Cream album I ever bought. Features many bona fide classics. #2. Fresh Cream - Fiery, passionate, tasteful and soulful. Not a single weak tune on here. I'm ranking this second, as I listen to this one a little more than DG. #1. Wheels of Fire - This ranks at the top spot specifically for the studio album disc. I never cared much for the live disc, to be honest. I always thought Cream were better to WATCH live, as opposed to just merely hearing them live, if that makes any sense. Nos. 2 and 3, especially, could easily switch places.

[@PhilBaird1]

Thanks for that Pete. Had they stayed together a few more years and put out a few more albums they could have been spoken of as the greatest rock band ever; but perhaps all that ability just couldn't be contained. Three fantastic musicians but Jack Bruce was the real genius. His bass playing controlled the direction and tempo and held the whole thing together on stage; his voice had a wonderful range and power; and an inspired and unique songwriter with the poetry of Pete Brown's lyrics. Jack went on to create the most interesting solo work of the three; developing the music that he'd started with Cream. His first few albums in particular are works of real beauty. If Eric and Ginger had given Jack the reins, then artistically and creatively Cream had a real future, but it wasn't to be. One of the greatest live bands ever, just on their playing ability alone, without stage tricks or effects.

When I was a kid I heard and loved the hits (Sunshine of Your Love, Tales of Brave Ulysses, White Room...) but it was that Live Cream Vol. 2 version of "Steppin' Out", which was misprinted as (Freddie King's) "Hideaway" on the copy I had... that really grabbed me. Called the song by the wrong title for a long time. But NOW... I didn't even know about Dazed & Cream, which you think is better than the two volumes of Live Cream.... and which also has Steppin' Out.... Thanks, Pete. I didn't know I needed another Cream record.

[@sdgakatbk]

No wrong answer on this but here's my guess: 1. Disraeli Gears 2. Wheels of Fire 3. Goodbye 4. Fresh Cream Sometimes with a group like Cream, looking back, people often aren't aware of how great this band really was. Either they weren't alive or there have been so many bands that came after them that they influenced that it gets lost. I remember hearing them for the first time. It got your attention because NOBODY sounded like them! Kind of like a kid in the 50's hearing Chuck Berry's Maybellene on the am radio for the first time. I definitely agree about early Clapton as I like the rock stuff better. I had Disraeli Gears back in the day and I remember getting kicked out of an empty classroom when I was playing the album while exams were going on. As to Clapton's playing, I like his work with Cream the best, though I haven't listened to John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. I like some of his work with the Yardbirds too. As to albums with Clapton on them, my fave has to be the Layla album with Derek and the Dominoes with Duane Allman. I didn't realize Jack Bruce played with Robin Trower. Why Dontcha by West, Bruce, and Laing was a good album, Jack playing with Leslie West and Corky Laing, both from Mountain. One of my favorite tunes that Bruce played on is Apostrophe with Frank Zappa. It was a jam session that Jack got in because he knew Jim Gordon who was playing with Zappa at the time.

Disraeli Gears Fresh Cream Wheels of Fire Goodbye I think Pete got this one exactly right. People always talk about how influential Cream was and in the next breath mention Clapton or Baker. If you're asking me, I think Bruce was the most important one when you think of the Cream sound. Whenever I hear a song that reminds me of Cream, the reason it reminds me of them relates to the bass and to a lesser extent how the bass and drums worked together.

It's hard to argue with you on Clapton on "safer" stuff. He was my 1st concert in 1983. 1. Disraeli 2. Fresh (including Wrapping Paper and Stepping Out) 3. Wheels 4. Goodbye I liked Live 2 better than Live. Sweet Wine was a little too long when I 1st heard it.

1. Disraeli Gears 2. Fresh Cream 3. Wheels of Fire 4. Goodbye. Some people think the inspiration for Animal of the Muppets was Keith Moon. It was obviously Ginger Baker.

Hey Pete - How could you omit the 2005 Royal Albert Hall cd/dvd. The best version ever of "We're Going Wrong".

[@gregorypalacios5070]

would love to have seen what they would of put out if they stayed together for a longer period. disraeli gears a classic. stay healthy.

Pete, the ballroom in Detroit where Dazed and Cream was recorded is pronounced "Grand-ee."

The few instances I got the Best Of because of Singles content that's not on the album Anyone For Tennis and Wrapping Paper. It's all soo awesome!!! Wheels Of Fire is my fav. But the only reason for that is because it's longer. Live love Love the jamming. They are all equally great in their own way I think!!!! Also Gingers Stratovarius is probably my fav. Of his stuff.

They are all equally great I think!!.. And also I was just wondering is there Any chance at all for a Parliment/Funkadelic Ranking?
