Cream

Cream was an English Supergroup that consisted of Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce founded in 1966. Their career was short lived (like most supergroups tend to be), and they split ways by 1968, but they left an impression on the rock world that will forever be remembered. They were also the first functioning supergroup.
They popularized the Wah-Wah pedal alongside Jimi Hendrix, and they inspired bands such as Rush, The Allman Brothers, and Black Sabbath. 
The Bass, like with The Who, was very loud, which made Cream sound Booming, Hard and pretty much different from everyone else. Like with how The Who have an overlooked influence on Punk, Cream kinda have a bit of an overlooked influence on early Heavy Metal (hell, Black Sabbath was considered a bad copy of Cream in their early days, which just shows how heavy they were) that isn't talked about much. While most of Cream's recorded stuff is mostly pretty tame, they were super heavy live. They were also managed by future Mountain bassist Felix Pappilardi.
The band had one off reunions in 1993 and 2005, but sadly Jack Bruce passed away in 2014, killing any hope of another reuinion ever again.
