Cream is an amazing band. With them, Clapton made "Sunshine of Your Love" and "Crossroads," which remain two of his most popular recordings.
Cream is underrated. They are just as good as The Who and The Doors.
Bands wish they could even come close to this band.
My favorite album of all time, song for song! "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" has the most blazing blues guitar you'll ever hear, and it's so clean! When it came out in 1970, I even thought that guitar-wise, it was as good as anything he did in Cream. Listen to Live Cream Vol. 1 and 2, and you'll hear why Eric is the #1 most influential and ridiculously greatest guitarist since 1967! Better than Jimi too, and Jimi's my #2 favorite!
With Derek & the Dominos, Eric Clapton created the legendary song Layla.
Best band ever!

I loved The Yardbirds. The music was clear and crisp. Rave up!
BEST BAND HE WAS IN. Also, I love Jimmy Page, and he was in it too.
The Beano album is what got me started on guitar! All the star guitarists today say that it was the most influential album of all time. He was way ahead of his time here in 1966 at just 21!
How the hell could The Eric Clapton Band, 45 years now, be rated this low? You're kidding me, right?
Eric's band was called this when he played with Dick Sims, Jamie Oldaker, and Carl Radle. That was Eric's best band and should be WAY UP THERE!
His best band today.
