  1. 1. Fortunate Son or Hotel California?

    • CCR - Fortunate Son
    • Eagles - Hotel California

Fortunate Son for me as well ! I like it because it rocks harder and has the man vs. government element. Hotel California isn't a bad song but it was so overplayed when it first came out and everybody I knew owned it; I really can't listen to it anymore.

Same. Hotel's ending guitar solos still hold up after all these years, but the rest of the song that preceded it is just meh to me.

Hotel California is much closer to the heart for me ( ;) ). Fortunate Son is great, but to me it gets old a lot faster than HC, not really one of my favorite CCR tunes.

 

Now if you had said Up Around The Bend, with that incendiary riff? I might have a different opinion.

I fully understand the status Hotel California has achieved, but the Eagles in general - and that song in particular - have always left me cold .. It's just so lifeless to me

 

I love Fortunate Son .. It's my favorite Creedence song and it has some passion behind it

 

CCR wins this one

CCR is fine. Hotel California is an all time classic. CCR doesn’t have one.

I would say Proud Mary is an all time classic, and Bad Moon Rising some type of popular culture classic for all the "there's a bathroom on the right" jokes. :LOL:

Of course they do. Numerous, in fact.

In that case we’ve found out for the millionth time on this forum that everyone has a different opinion when it comes to music. I don’t find anything CCR has done to be anything more than decent.

That doesn't mean they don't have all-time classic songs. It just means you, personally, don't like the songs.

I agree.

 

Check out this list:

There’s a lot of awesomeness and goodness on there but more than a few that I don’t care about or dislike. I’d admit that they’re all classic rock songs though.
