Cream is a Heavy metal and Psychedelic rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rock. Their sound grew out of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Quicksilver Messenger Service, William Bell, Spoonful and RSO Records. Those roots explain a lot about how Cream arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Derek and the Dominos, Blind Faith, Eric Clapton, The Yardbirds and John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Rush, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Idlewild South, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 118 connections around Cream, reaching back through The Jimi Hendrix Experience and forward to Rush. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
