Cream was simply one of the best bands of all time in my humble opinion, and I really do like their first album "Fresh Cream" the best, but this, their second LP was the one that really got them noticed, most likely because of the song "Sunshine Of Your Love" which reached number five on The Billboard charts.
This is a great album without a doubt and there's a song on it that I like, and even though it's not one of my top faves, for some reason recently, I can't get this damn song out of my head, so I thought I'd foist it off on you!
What a powerful song!
Listen to it 500 times and see if it has the same effect on you!
The genius of "Disraeli Gears" was that it was the album where Eric Clapton let go of his puritistic blues disdain for well-written pop songs and incorporated his awesome blues riffs (albeit enhanced by psychedelic guitar effects) and wrote songs with hooks in them. "Tales of Brave Ulysses" and "Sunshine of Your Love" are perfect examples.
