I was speaking entirely from a commercial perspective (which I thought I clearly noted in my post), and speculating on the potential success of the band if the lineup stayed intact. Cream is arguably the most successful British blues group of all time, so using them as a comparison/potential ceiling isn't exactly an insult, even if that commercial/popular success isn't anywhere near what Led Zeppelin achieved (thus, the comparison). PG-era Fleetwood Mac (as-is)/Cream/Led Zeppelin are all legendary in my eyes.
