Ringo still tours with his All Star Band and records.

Soundgarden: My Wave (1994)

"My Wave" switches time signatures throughout, but is mainly in 5/4, which is an odd time signature. It also included a bass wah pedal. It's an outright rocker that peaked at #11 on the rock charts. Matt Cameron's drums on this track were compared to Ringo Starr's work on Abbey Road.

George Harrison: When We Was Fab (1988)

George Harrison decided to take a nostalgic and critical look at his Beatle years. It is the second time Harrison revisited his youth. In 1981, he released “All Those Years Ago” which also reminisced on Beatlemania. The music video included Ringo Starr, Elton John, and Jeff Lynne.

The Who: It's Not Enough (2006)

Pete Townshend wrote "It's Not Enough" with partner Rachel Fuller and recorded the song with The Who. The song became the band's first hit since 1982. Townshend broke up The Who in 1982, but the band reunited occasionally through the years. The Concert for New York and addition of Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey, on drums reinvigorated the band. They are currently on hiatus.

Rock Hall Bio:

The Band combined country with old rock, and Motown. They formed in the early-to-mid 60s and backed up Bob Dylan. Dylan had gone electric and needed a backing band.

After touring with Dylan, they cut their own album in a pink house leading to the album Music from Big Pink.

Cream: Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Class of 1993

Rock Hall Bio:

http://rockhall.com/inductees/cream/bio/

Cream represented rock’s first super group. Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker, three alpha males, united to create a unique blend of blues, hard rock, and psychedelic music.

Their first album disappointed some.

Crossroads (1969):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hwnb8AB2kc

Bruce and Baker could not get along. On top of this, Clapton fell in love with The Band and took some negative reviews about his playing to heart. The band had to be convinced to produce one final work.

Goodbye

Ringo Starr misread “bridge” while Clapton worked on this song. He called it “Badge” and the name stuck.

They performed a farewell concert at Royal Albert Hall and broke up. Cream reunited in 2005:

In 2010, Bruce proclaimed “Cream is over.” Cream’s music had a dramatic impact on British metal and hard rock as well as prog rock. In Cream’s wake came Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rush, and the Allman Brothers Band.
