10 Rock Bands That Have Two Frontmen
10. Cream
At the start of the '60s, the term supergroup was still a relatively new word. Since the era of the big rock stars were just starting to kick into high gear, the idea of having a group made up of famous rock stars was kind of questionable if they weren't playing off of the rest of their band. In Cream's case though, they managed to get two of the most passionate singers of the day in one group.
Being bred in the blues rock sound of the British rock scene, the original version of Cream began in the mind of Eric Clapton, who had just come off of his stint in the Yardbirds. Though his smooth style of vocals would have worked wonders with Ginger Baker in the back, a whole new dimension of sound was added once Jack Bruce stepped in. Instead of the traditional bluesy flair that the others had, Bruce's intense knowledge of the bass and experience on the scene put him on par with the rest of the group, along with the wild bluesy wail he had once he opened his mouth.
However, Cream's version of vocal dynamics was a bit strange for its time, oftentimes showing both Bruce and Clapton trading off in between verses of a song, which reached its apex on Sunshine of Your Love. Though Cream's moment in the sun was really brief, you don't really get a blues throwdown like this very often.
