Cream

Cream was Eric Clapton's second band after The Yardbirds. While shortlived, the group was greatly popular. They are best known for their album Disraeli Gears, the only album to get higher than gold. They helped pioneer the metal/psychedelic hybrid "stoner metal". Other bands include The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. After Cream broke up in 1969 Clapton and member Ginger Baker formed blue-eyed soul group Blind Faith with Steve Winwood. They were inducted their second year of eligibility, likely delayed by their shortlived status.
