Cream was a 1960s three-piece British blues-rock band consisting of bassist/lead vocalist Jack Bruce, guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker, having formed in London, England. They were known as one of the first great power trios and supergroups of rock. Their sound was characterised by a hybrid of blues, hard rock and psychedelic rock. Cream combined Clapton’s blues guitar playing with the powerful and airy voice and intense bass lines of Jack Bruce and the manic drumming of Ginger Baker. They have sold over 35 million albums worldwide. Wheels of Fire was the world’s first platinum-selling double album.
Cream’s music included songs based on traditional blues such as “Crossroads” and “Spoonful”, and modern blues such as “Born Under a Bad Sign” and “Outside Woman Blues” as well as more eccentric songs such as “Strange Brew”, “Tales of Brave Ulysses” and “Toad”. Cream’s biggest hits were “I Feel Free” (UK, #11)[4], “Sunshine of Your Love” (US, #5)[5], “White Room” (US, #6)[5], “Crossroads” (US, #28)[5], and “Badge”.
Cream, together with The Jimi Hendrix Experience, made a significant impact upon the popular music of the time, providing a heavy yet technically proficient musical theme that foreshadowed the emergence of bands such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and The Jeff Beck Group in the late 1960s. The band’s live performances influenced progressive rock acts such as Rush, jam bands such as The Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead and Phish, and heavy metal bands such as Black Sabbath.
Cream were ranked #16 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.

there is not much 'metal' to them. it's pretty much basic blues a lot of the time.

But Zep and Sabbath probably wouldn't have sounded the way they did if it wasn't for Cream shaping rock & roll into what it was at the tail end of the 60's, just before Zep were on the scene.
