- 'Sunshine of Your Love' From: 'Disraeli Gears' (1967) Before "Sunshine of Your Love," Cream were basically an album act. The handful of singles they released failed to even dent the charts in the U.S. And then "Sunshine of Your Love" hit in late 1967, and everything changed.
- 'White Room' From: 'Wheels of Fire' (1968) "White Room" was originally supposed to be on Cream's second album, Disraeli Gears, but record-company execs thought it sounded too much like "Tales of Brave Ulysses" (see No. 6 on our list of the Top 10 Cream Songs), so it was held over for the studio half of Wheels of Fire.
- 'Badge' From: 'Goodbye' (1969) Clapton co-wrote "Badge" with his pal George Harrison. And like on their earlier collaboration on the Beatles' White Album, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," the pair swap guitar lines (though that's Clapton on lead throughout).
- 'Crossroads' From: 'Wheels of Fire' (1968) Blues legend Robert Johnson recorded the original version of "Crossroads" way back in 1936. But after Cream's electrified reworking of the song started showing up in their set lists (and as a live cut on their third album, Wheels of Fire), it became one of their most popular cuts and Clapton's signature tune.
Best of Cream is a compilation album of material recorded from 1966 to 1968 by the rock band Cream, and released shortly after their disbanding.

Since this list will be focusing on both their popular and lesser-known compositions, it would be quite befitting to round off the number ten slot with their most pop-aligned tune from their hallucinogenic fistful of a record, 1967’s Disraeli Gears. It features Claptonon lead vocals, with a reserved but attentive intro solo greased from head to toe...
Cream recorded a lot of old blues renditions, and this Mississippi Sheiks standard is no different; Cream actually followed the rough and gritty template of Howlin’ Wolf’s version. Its forbearing attitude towards adversity and problems every human being down in their luck faces each day remains prevalent throughout, but Cream calibrates its interna...
“We’re Going Wrong,” is perhaps the most gloomy piece from Desraeli Gears.It’s the only song on the record where Bruce wrote the lyrics by himself without the help of poet Pete Brown, and consists of only two stanzas that put emphasis on ambiguity more than anything; is it a love song? Is it about opening up one’s consciousness? Whatever the case m...
Their 1966 debut, Fresh Cream, is too strong of a blues rock record; this was Cream already resting comfortably in their lane, chemically altering the happy-go-lucky, bubble gum pop of the time with music that was both galvanizing and accessible enough to move ones body to. This Hambone Willie Newbern song is proof of such. Who can honestly listen ...
In 1968, Cream went into the studio to record what would be their final album, Wheels of Fire. It’s not only their best, but it’s very unique in that it was a double LP that featured both studio and live recordings; sides one and two were done in the studio, while sides three and four were recorded at Filmore East and Winterland. It was produced by...
Wheels of Fire cuts have been showing up left and right on here, and for self-explanatory reasons. This deep cut is the heart of the album. And although one might be a little astonished by its insertion at first listen, the overall context of the album’s more polished credentials makes As You Saidtruly phenomenal. Its glowing acoustic guitar work, ...
On side three of Wheels of Fire, this famous Robert Johnsontune that gave birth to the mythos of him selling his soul to the devil at the crossroads of Mississippi receives one hell of a surgical revamping; this cover is undoubtedly one of the most highly revered and discernible in all of rock. Seriously, that electrifying A chord incorporated into...
Led Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick,” may be the most famous drum solo instrumental, but Toad deserves every bit of credit for popularizing the concept. Like “Moby Dick,” “Toad” kicks off with a blistering guitar riff that serves as a recurring theme until Ginger extends his wings midway through the song and soars into the sequestered spotlight of percussive...
This is another one of those Howlin’ Wolf renditions that became utilized at the forefront of the English blues boom; it was bands like Cream who carried on the rugged delicacy of the American blues, but with an exciting twist: push the limits of individual virtuosity. This Willie Dixonoriginal, retaining its metaphorical ramblings of satisfaction ...
Well, here it is, the very paragon of Cream’s catalog. This is one of the most overrated and overplayed songs, and that’s not at all a negative jab towards Sunshine of Your Love; its religious consumption through every rock outlet known to mankind further demonstrates the ineradicable modification it’s had on modern rock music. Its heart-stopping m...
