Steevo Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Not their biggest fan, I only really like a few tracks. But have I overlooked one essential album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalamander2112 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 what got me hooked was the album CCR Live in Europe. great live album. Has all the hits plus a few gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 All their albums are good, except for Mardi Gras, their last one. I wouldn't say that they have one essential album. Green River is my personal favorite. Wrote A Song For Everyone, Lodi, and Green River are 3 of my favorite songs by them. If you really only like a few songs, then a greatest hits/live album is all you need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) It's a shame if you don't have this, easily their best and a true classic: http://img.listal.com/image/1537445/600full-cosmo%27s-factory-cover.jpg Jeez, the first song Ramble Tamble and their 11 minute version of I Heard It Through the Grapevine are my very favorite Creedence songs, neither of which are on the best of - both of these songs are absolute killers. And the whole album smokes from top to bottom. Ramble Tamble: The way the song slows down and speeds up is out of control great. It still blows my mind. I Heard It Through the Grapevine: You thought you knew this song? They kick its ass into next Tuesday. An 11 minute song that feels like 3 - amazing grooves and solos that everyone needs to hear at least once.

Bastille Dave Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I love CCR and have every album, and almost every LP, even a couple live albums. But I do think that maybe both of the Chronicles is probably all that a casual fan would need. I love their simplicity, sometimes less is more, ya know.

ReRushed Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I love Creedence! Yeah, you can't go wrong with any of their first six albums. And being they only released seven albums, that says A LOT! My favs are Willy and the Poor Boys and Green River. Great, great band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadude69 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 CCR is a great band. John Fogarty is under rated as a guitarist and as a singer IMO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Money Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Get the box set. It's like 40 dollars and has all their studio albums. Well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unattractive Truth Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 One of the best American rock bands ever. Willie and the Poor Boys and Cosmo's Factory are both must-haves, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush! Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Excellent band. I'd say everything from Bayou Country-Pendulum is worth it. My favorite songs are Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Commotion, Looking Out My Back Door, & Run Through the Jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I really like "Born on the Bayou" and Fogerty, although from California, sounds like he really was born on the bayou... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all you have is "Chronicle" you're missing out on the great album tracks from COSMO'S FACTORY, WILLY & THE POOR BOYS, BAYOU COUNTRY and GREEN RIVER. At the very least.

An 11 minute song that feels like 3 - amazing grooves and solos that everyone needs to hear at least once. [The Album is 'Cosmo's Factory' btw].This was the first Creedence Album I heard all the way through. My Sister's friend Elsie had it and they both taught me 'The Funky Chicken' with this album...Had been a fan since first hearing them in '68 on the radidio... This song, 'Susie Q' 'Up Around The Bend', 'Sweet Hitch Hiker', 'Green River' The 45, 'Have You Ever Seen The Rain' backed with 'Hey Tonight', 'Born On The Bayou', 'Lookin' Out My Back Door' I have the whole studio collection. Not much into live stuff except for RUSH, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Chicago, etc. Edited September 23, 2018 by OldRUSHfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 My band opened up for the Revisited version back in 96. Because the general public, for the most part doesn't know who individual band members are, they were able to fill the Dee Event Center in Ogden Utah, which holds about 10,000 people. I'm guessing at least 9000 of them had no clue that John Fogerty was the heart of CCR and was not involved. The drummer was a really nice guy, and they had Elliot Easton from the Cars playing lead guitar for them. It was fun to be able to say I've done an arena show as well. They offered us a slot the next night in Boise but two of the guys couldn't make it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
