#88. Cream | Disraeli Gears (1967)

NERD ALERT: Giles plays this album for Buffy's mom in a 3rd season episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" when all the adults in Sunnydale revert to their teenage personas thanks to some cursed "Band Candy." He's playing the track "Tales of Brave Ulysses," to which she responds "Do you have any Juice Newton?"

While this is no Juice Newton, it is, however, the quintessential heavy metal album of the '60s. From swirling, psychedelic hits like "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of Your Love" to the murky rhythms of the aforementioned "Ulysses," this album would be the American breakthrough for the British trio, reaching #4 on the album charts.

Track Listing:
01. Strange Brew
02. Sunshine Of Your Love

03. World Of Pain
04. Dance The Night Away
05. Blue Condition
06. Tales Of Brave Ulysses
07. Swlabr
08. We're Going Wrong
09. Outside Woman Blues
10. Take It Back
11. Mother's Lament
