Try changing the colour to A Whiter Shade of Pale.

Same end result I 'spose.

In a white room, with black curtians.... Clapton, Beck, and Page..... ahh yes, the Cream.
We'll mix it all togeather.

Ah...Cream!

One of my favourite bands...

Always "rose to the top" in my book!

Dudes, try Procol Harum.

Bill, "Whiter Shade of Pale" <u>was</u> Procul Harum, but "White Room" was Cream.

Years and years of short term memory-loss has its effects!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

Eric Clapton was at his zenith in Cream. Didn't care as much for him afterwards.

The one that kills me and everybody seems to love him but me is Bruce Springsteen. I could never stomach him.

I enjoy Clapton's later pure blues stuff, but agree with your assessment of his time with Cream.
As far as Springsteen goes, I like his acoustic stuff. The rest of it gives me a headache.

Roger the Springsteen sentiment. feh. Cheech Marin in a tutu comes to mind every time I hear Sproingsteen.

I have all of Clapton's later blues stuff. Nothing of Springsteen's. 'Nuff said.

Cream was awesome and the opening act for many great groups, Vanilla Fudge, also great. But who is
this Springs Teen group? Can't say I know them.

Clapton and The Doors CDs are part and parcel of the
Grey Ghost Wrangler.

And I thought I was the only one who remembered the Fudge. Saw them in a concert in Lambertville NJ on a weekday afternoon. Probably about 100 in the audience. It was almost like a private recital...

Hmm, I thought the fade to black was a Metallica reference...

 

[bugimike]

Boy, we're in Dire Straits now! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

No comment on the Sprinsteen thing, living, in my 20s, on the Jersey shore pre-his fame when they were a killer bar/college lawn band and we were all doin' the "backstreets" thing!!
Memories! New stuff has way too much to say!!

I have to agree about the Springsteen thing. I grew up listening to him and the E Street Band. It was a shame when The River came out, and in my opinion he started going downhill. I wouldn't even listen to his stuff after that. Unless of course, it was from the old albums.
