In the battle of the bands GFR showed up unarmed.Farner's an inept player - barely able to tune his axe much less play a competent solo.
Cream's roadies were probably a better band than GFR.
Cream was the greatest power trio of all time and GINGER BAKER the greatest rock drummer of them all. Just a fact that can be gleaned from a good listening session. Even Farner has stated his great admiration for Mssrs. Clapton Bruce and Baker.
And yet I love GFR. They played balls out rock and roll and could kick the ass of almost any other band I can think of (not Cream - but they were from another era). Their lack of instrumental prowess is not a serious handicap for they could rock and sometimes that's all that matters.
And I'd rather listen to the worst of GFR than the best of bands I can't stand (RUSH, KISS, and Legend come immediately to mind). GFR may have been just a garage band but they were a GREAT garage band.
But better than Cream? No way - not even in another universe. Totally different vibes. Both great but very very different.
