Paul McCartney?

Pretty sure Paul McCartney wasn't in Cream, he was kind of busy with the Beatles. :tongue2:

I thought Cream was a three-piece that consisted of Bruce, Clapton, and the drummer whose name I cannot remember at the moment.

/wiki time

Cream were a 1960s British blues-rock band consisting of bassist/lead vocalist Jack Bruce, guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker.

Ginger Baker was the inspiration for Animal

and I will forever be jealous of my sister for getting front row seats to Cream's reunion in London.
(never mind that she got front row because she's wheelchair bound - it's Cream fercrissakes!)

Bob Weir gets my vote. I simply love his voice.... he probably won't get a lot of votes however, I find his voice soothing yet powerful... he is full of emotion regarding his songs and it comes through in his voice making it sound very rich.

You got the members of the all time greatest group (Cream) right. Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Eric Clapton. Probably the best 'technical' group ever. However, not Paul McCartney, but George Harrison did a couple of sets with them, as 'Antonio Mysterioso' on the Goodbye album.

PS, anyone out there not humming 'I Feel Free' (the underground song) on a Friday on the way home, to the lake, snow, or favorite bar?

:gobucks3::gobucks4::banger: PS, my vote is for Annie Lennox of Eurythmics. Her voice range is phenominal.

Any grown man that calls himself "Stevie" is a douchebag. You're lucky you live in LA. I have an urge to stomp your face in.

Bon Scott. AC/DC was never the same without him. I'd nominate him for best front man/singer any day of the week. Who needs to gargle with shards of glass when you're a raging alcoholic to the point where it actually kills you? That said, I'd have killed to have had his voice. The moment you hear him sing, there's no mistaking who it is. Bon might have been the only person on earth whose screams had soul.

Good stuff with Chris Cornell, GL.
