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.
True, look how popular Louie, Louie was. That’s about as simple a song as you can find.
This sound is being produced by only 3 instruments. It led the way to heavy rock.
I agree it doesn’t have to be complicated. What I was trying to say is it didn’t feel special to me
@@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.
almost everybody will like this song it's very approachable@@poloreacts27
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.
Cream was laying the foundation. Their music was an inspiration to a lot of songs that followed.
Next!
This is THE ICONIC rock song of the 60s. Brilliant.
Black Sabbath!
I'm not sure I agree with that. Of the entire 1960s? No.
Well, at least in the top ten.
@@richardeast3328 yes AT LEAST!
As a metal-head, this song is so soulful and so bluesy, I just assumed everyone likes it.
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.
It was recorded 57 years ago - believe me, it blew minds back then and informed EVERY hard rock band that followed.
Song was ground breaking for it’s time 😮
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).
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.
Wow, you're experience with music was ver similar to mine! We were so lucky.
1951 vintage. Been an amazing ride start to finish loved it. Peace ✌️
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.
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.
A super group. Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker.
Yes!! Such amazing sound coming from 3 guys!!
Saw them live at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. They knocked my socks off.
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.
The first super group
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.
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!
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
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. 🤷♀️
Always amazed me how three Musicians could make such a powerful sound?
Stacked cabinets with 100w Marshall heads
Like rush
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
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
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.
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”.
Don't forget about "Rock Me."
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!
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.
One guitar (Clapton), one bass (Bruce), and drums (Baker).
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. ☮️❤️
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.”
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
Deserted Cities of the Heart, SWLABR, Tale of Brave Ulysses, Those Were the Days and of course Toad!
Don’t forget Politician.
I loved all these songs! They are part of the soundtrack of my teens.💕
Every garage band in America had to learn this song if they wanted to play at the local dances.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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).
This is a great song. Part of the fabric of my youth
The Cream was one of my favorites back on the 60's. I saw them live in 68 in their first US appearance.
At the time, this was a mind-blowing departure from everything we had previously heard on the radio. These guys were musical virtuosos who were the grandfathers of the heavy rock genre.
Pure power.
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.
Cream is my age! Love them.
Absolutely loved my Moms music born in 64 and remember it all especially Mom dancing through the house with temptations and the likes I think todays youth should really hear the gifts of the 60s decade ❤❤
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.
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
Someone spray painted Clapton is God all over our high school building!! Lol he was great then and now!!❤️
One of my favorite songs in high school.
My parents listened to music from the 40’s and 50’s, some of the Beatles songs I remember but I’m a 60’s, 70’s and beyond hard rock etc, grunge, metal, classic my kids listen to stuff I listened to and love it! Lol
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.
@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.
whatever you mean by
"more sophisticated" 🙄
you're totally wrong
6:34 those drums Polo, those drums are insane. The drums are a whole consecutive drum solo throughout the whole song🎉
64 year old guy with a 24-year-old daughter. Since 1975 , from Aerosmith to ZZ Top, I saw every major rock band most of them more than once. I took her to Paul simon, ELO, Dead & Company, Grateful Dead David Gilmour and more. She had a great time at all of them.
I am 68 and grew up on big band swing music, the Platters, etc. My Mom always had music in the house and was singing and dancing all the time. I Loved my parents music and they gave me a love for all different genres by appreciating the talent involved. My Mom even bought us our first Beatles album when I was in 2nd grade. We watched them on The Ed Sullivan Show.
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.
I still have Mom's collection of 101 Strings!
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.
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.
Born in the late 70's. Mom was into Elvis and such. First song I fell in love with was rockin robin at age 6. By time I'm a teen, I'm into 90's grunge.
I grew up with my parent's Big Band music and loved it. As a classically trained vocalist, I have sung opera, rock, folk, pop as well as the old standards. It has always been my dream to sing with big band.
This song just happens to be in one of the best scenes in Goodfellas the movie. De Niro so intimidating in that scene while this song plays.
My Mom took me to see Eric Clapton when I was 17 yrs old. She introduced me to him. I got home from school, and she said her co-worker gave her two tickets because something came up, and they could not go. I changed clothes, and we hauled as$
My Dad was a jazz drummer who immigrated to Cda from the UK. I grew up absorbing his music and grew to love Steely Dan because of their jazzy licks as well as groups like Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire and Blood, Sweat & Tears. I still adore Gershwin!
Hello from Cody Wyoming 😊you're awesome... I grew up on a jukebox in a bar my parents owned. It became the blueprint of my life. 70's rocked and has stood the test of time
1967 was a cool year. The guitarist is Eric Clapton.
I grew up with the Beatles, Stones British Invasion, Led Zeppelin. The best time for music in the history of mankind. Will never be another era like it. Including this group.
My parents listening to mostly classical music, which I still like and occasionally listen to. I grew up in the 60s & 70s (the era of AM radio) and that is the music that I love most Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joni Mitchel, Led Zeppelin, Heart, The Doors, etc etc. This song from Cream is so familiar, every beat and vibration is embedded in my soul.
I grew up in Austin & my Dad liked Willie Nelson. It took me a few years, but I started to really like Willie's music. When I was twelve, Willie filmed part of his second movie in a house up the street from mine. My buddy & I rode our BMX bikes to his bus & waited to meet him. 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.
We were blown away by the phenomenal talents back then. It’s why we’re so disappointed in a lot of pop today. ❤❤❤
Bassist Jack Bruce is trading off vocals with Eric Clapton on this one!!!

I was born '94 and got raised on my fathers music, he used to make prog mixtapes for me when i lived with my mother.. Pink Floyd was my favourite band way before i understood their music, but i was feeling it ❤ Cream N.S.U. Live was the first song to ever make my mind melt and give me goosebumps when they first start getting into it 🤘👹❤
Cream studio stuff is fine, but please believe me, live is where it is really at! Thats what they really were about! :)
ua-cam.com/video/sCHE2bxSJqI/v-deo.htmlsi=-pRe_daIso6rn_fn
That is NSU Live
*mind starts melting at around 1:40 after the intro
Their mantra was "forget the lyrics, forget the message, JUST PLAY" 😅 put volume on max
Have you reacted to Procol Harum (“A Whiter Shade of Pale”) or Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (“Lucky Man”) ? A little change of pace. You might like
My parents listened to old Country music. I listened to Cream, Hendrix, Zep, Skynyrd, Seger. BTW have you reacted to Ike and Tina Turner? If you want, check out Nutbush City Limits or my favorite Proud Mary? They never ever do anything nice and easy.
I enjoyed my parents music, and now find myself gravitating back to it.
As a kid of 3 or 4, I loved my parents music and still do. It brings back so many memories
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.
D. I listened to their music, loved it, and now that I’m older, I love it so much more than I ever did before.
My parents loved music of all kinds, and my father's parents were friends with Jack Teagarden from the big band era. I was a 70's kid and I loved it all. Every era has its "Cream."
Parents music was ok (Sinatra… big band) I do appreciate it as an adult
By the way, Cream was my second concert (First was Hendrix)
My parents loved great music, cream, the Beatles, the doors, the stones. I was and still am a metal head, then came to realize how good those songs are. It took until my early 20’s to appreciate it.
My parents listened to country music, Johnny Cash, etc, I at 16, was listening to Cream, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, etc. Never went to country. I will say that today's 2024 commercial country is like yesterdays rock n roll.
One of the first songs that created the foundation for the bands that followed. The song is historical in its relevance.
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 folks graduated from high school in 1953 and 1956. Yes! I loved that music...what i thought of as rock and roll.
I’m a baby boomer, my parents both loved music, grew up listening to everything
Loved my parent's music. Born in 72. My parents didn't give us allowance for heavy chores. We got money to go to the record store frequently to pick music that ALL would enjoy. I love that they trusted us 😊. Likewise, my parents listened to "our" music, as well. Music appreciation. Go CREAM.
My parents listened to music from the '40's, so no, I never listened to it and never did. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and my son, who was born in '86, still likes the music I listened to.
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.
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.
My parents listened to Mowtown and I was into Zeppelin. But I listened to everything from Bach to 2Live Crew. Just love music man. It’s great for the soul.
Love this song ! My parents were from the Big Band era so as a child I grew up listening to Glenn Miller, Harry James, etc. I loved Big Band. Don't listen to now but I still like it very much
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.
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. I loved some was tolerant of others but Paul Robeson & Earth stayed with me. Both well worth you looking at. Keep the music alive.
I’m 74 and when music first came out in tape form, the first 3 I bought was Disraeli Gears by Cream, Sgt. Pepper by The Beatles and Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys.
I liked my parents music but I loved old movies.
Try Steely Dan. Great Band, amazing music.
I was there. 72 yrs. Nothing like the 70's tunes.
WOOOHOOO!!! :) LOVE this TUNE!! CANNOT BEAT this AWESOME TRIPLE-THREAT!!!
Yes, I enjoyed my parent's music. Elvis, Tom Jones, Patty Page, and the Country Western music too.
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 ...
My mother sang and danced around the house in the 50s ,she loved the Big Band sound. And music from the WW2 era. She was a good tap dancer too, plus she was in the British airforce working on bombers .
This is one of the foundational songs for me, born in Dec 1954.
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
I remember dancing to this song at my Grade 8 graduation dance & I still love it. I did like some of my parents music, but then I was born when my mother was 39 and my sisters were in their teens - so I really liked the music they listened to as well. (ranging from Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdink, the Everly Brothers, etc). I was 8 when I first heard the Beatles and then music really took off for me.
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
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!
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.
My man..this as good as it can get..Holy cow. 😊
Love that the outro wasn't cut off. p.S, it will grow on you with more listens. Heard it repeatedly on radio as a teen.
This album has always been a favorite of mine. Listened to it early in my life.
CREAM the first Super Group. But YES, my parents were teenagers of the 50s. I was bought up on early Rock and Roll. By the time I was three in 1955 I was singing alone with the radio and record player. I still love the 50s music, I have an awesome 50s play list on Spotify.
Cream "Aubrey"... Excellent song!
My father was into music more than my mother, in that he collected records, whereas my mom didn’t. His collection was pretty diverse, mostly classical (Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Bach, etc.), but he also had a LOT of amazing rock albums (Cream, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Creedence Clearwater Revival), and folk (Kris Kristofferson, Peter, Paul, & Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, Arlo Guthrie, etc.)
I listened to most of his records as a kid religiously and inspired my musical tastes that would grow from there.
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.
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❗
"A" ... My parents were each born 1920 and their music was mostly 1940's, the Swing Era ... Jazz, Blues, Swing, and Big Band ... and "Boy, could they dance!". I arrived in the late 50's and was shaped by the music of the 70's & 80's but I loved and still love that Swing. How could you not be hooked by the music of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, or so many of the other greats. Then there were the great black & white musicals with Bob Hope, Dean Martin, the Andrew Sisters, Fred Astaire, and Ginger Rogers to name just a few. Wow ... thank you for asking that question ... it was fun recalling so many fond memories.
