Cream!!! I listen to them on vinyl all the time. They rocked so, so hard.

Cream. Get on top.

 

sorry :oops: couldn't resist.

Too bad Priest's 70's stuff doesn't get radio play because some of it is brilliant. Sad Wings of Destiny, Stained Class, and Unleashed in the East are classics and quite different from the 80's stuff that everyone has heard. Cream, on the other hand, embodies everything I find BORING about bluesy classic rock. Clapton's guitar stylings may have sounded fresh 30 years ago but they are absolutely tedious now.

Priest.

 

One of the true greats of all time. I like Cream, don't get me wrong---but Priest was just so awesome. Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin after Sin, Stained Class, Hell Bent for Leather, British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith.

 

For about 15 years there was no one even close to the Priest. And Halford is THE Metal God.

First coin flip for me. Cream it is.

Cream is way too close to being a 'jam rock' band to get my vote. Jam rock ain't exactly my favorite flavor of rock.

The guys in Cream were really good players but their songwriting was very weak. By and large the songs were vehicles for the guys to show off their chops. That doesn't excite me. Put the greatest musician in a jam rock band and the results are still boring.

If you voted for Cream... "you got another thing comin'"

 

Lame, I know.

Disagree completely. Gather great musicians and ask them to jam - I could listen all day.
