Cream

Cream was a psychedelic rock band from the sixties and led by Eric Clapton. They were one of his most successful projects, with all of their albums being successful and having a few hit singles. Despite this, they only lasted a few years. They are considered early contributors to metal. Their song SWLABR stands for "She Was Like a Bearded Rainbow". Besides psychedelia, they also took influences from blues. They were a part of the British Invasion. Many of their songs have since become classic rock staples. Clapton would go on to become the only artist to be inducted into the actual Hall of Fame three times: Cream, solo, and as a member of The Yardbirds. Their song Crossroads was a cover of delta blues musician Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues.
