Just got home from Illinois & got the poll floor, oh boy! There's an ILX ballot poll on the rise!
Part One: Tracks ballot, ranked or unranked, minimum of 5 & maximum of 25. If you are submitting a ranked ballot, format them such that #1 is your top pick. Any song by CCR / The Golliwogs / John Fogerty / Tom Fogerty / Stu Cook / Doug "Cosmo" Clifford is eligible. If anyone wants to vote for the Don Harrison Band that's okay too, I guess. Votes for Southern Pacific would be stretching it though. Just be sure you vote from the heart!
Part Two (optional): Albums ballot, ranked or unranked, up to 5 albums by any of the previously mentioned acts.
Send all ballots to choogledocs AT gmail DOT com. Voting ends Friday June 12 2015 at midnight.

top of my wishlist for the last few years : CCR boxset with all the remastered albums + disc with extras.
is that really too much to ask ..
― mark e, Thursday, 28 May 2015 17:03 (eight years ago) link
are there any extras to speak of? they cranked out so much in such a short time and don't seem like the kind of band that would have outtakes, or at least not many

(Played "Fortunate Son" for my class today, talked about George W. Bush.)
Somewhat related to Οὖτις's question, did they have any non-album singles? I have the albums all d/l'd, and I don't wanna be slapping my forehead later when I realize that I missed something obvious.

Fortunate Son maybe
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 28 May 2015 17:09 (eight years ago) link
My favorite CCR song changes weekly (or daily) and has for years. Fortunate Son is probably a good guess at a consensus pick, but who knows.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 28 May 2015 17:10 (eight years ago) link
never heard this wtf (extras on Pendulum):"45 Revolutions Per Minute (Part 1)" – 3:17"45 Revolutions Per Minute (Part 2)" – 7:19"(Tracks 11 and 12 are musique concrète tracks (in the vein of Revolution 9), including tongue-in-cheek interviews with band members)"
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 28 May 2015 17:11 (eight years ago) link
I'd be happy with about seven or eight winning--"Fortunate Son," "Up Around the Bend," "Bad Moon Rising," others. The only thing I really wouldn't want--and I don't think it would--is "Proud Mary." Never been a fan.

I have that woodgrain box--all of the studio and live albums, plus a disc of pre-Creedence stuff, some of which was unreleased. The subsequent remastered albums have some further actual unreleased CCR stuff as bonus tracks--some sketches and backing tracks, but I think mostly the long bootlegged Booker T jam sessions cut up and spread out over the albums.

The CCR song I hold closest for an odd reason is "Long As I Can See the Light," because I had a dream one night as I was drifting off to sleep that it was written/sung from the perspective of a man who had just died and wasn't sure yet what this death thing was all about. I don't know if that was Fogerty's intention (probably not), but I love that halfway lucid reading of the song.

Any chance people could preface their YT embeds with the song's name? PRC, eh.
I still think about this mark s post (& maybe conflate it w/something he or dave q said about Roxy Music?):
above all that they cared abt singles rather than LPs, and were definitely counter the big-art-statement faux adult sensibility of the times — the songs were tight and sort of just there, rather than constructed and worked over and part of some brave new post-beatles counterculture worldalso i think that the music they minded about was music that ROCK AS IT BECAME AWARE OF ITSELF was trying to put behind it, or get beyond, or something
like in the late 60s, a LOT of music — pop and non-pop — from the 50s and early 60s was widely considered a bit of a primitive yokel joke: and i think they clung to it in quite a lonely, dogged way...
this later (80s etc) became for others a revivalist shtick which played super-well in music mags etc — grrr the clash haha — and part of the general dad-rock cd-rerelease spasm, but these were the years when rock was in its prime and needed no memory, or anyway a sense of its own HISTORY was not yet at all important to its essential identity
(sorry this probably isn't very clear: i think what i'm saying is that the content of "revival" in their name and aesthetic — partly bcz it wz half ironic, in a bitter sort of way — was that it refused to place faith in these huge PLACEMARKER WORKS, dylan/beatles/stones blah blah, which stood in the way of understanding where they themselves as works came from, and provided the glue of the music community all round, the values it shared...)

Holy crap, i'm listening to disc one of the box and the Golliwogs O.G. version of "Walking On The Water" (laid down in August 1966) sounds like it was recorded in 1975! Dig how the fuzz/compressed bass sounds like an Arp! And how that clanking fuzz solo at the end is straight outta the Pere Ubu playbook!

They're famous now for hitting #2 on Billboard five times but never having a #1 (singles--still a record). I was looking at their discography, and they actually had four consecutive #1 singles in Canada, the first three two-sided: "Up Around the Bend"/"Run Through the Jungle," "Lookin' Out My Back Door"/"Long as I Can See the Light," "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"/"Hey Tonight," "Sweet Hitch-hiker" (love that clip posted above--almost looks like an actual video).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmrwAW5-5rU
I think there's a running joke--maybe it started with Christgau--about avoiding any CCR song about rain. I think "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" is okay; truly love "Who'll Stop the Rain," musically and metaphorically.
― clemenza, Friday, 29 May 2015 16:18 (eight years ago) link
Wow you're right, he calls Who'll Stop The Rain "borderline-sappy." That's always been one of my very favorites and will be very high on my ballot.

i think up to that point there are glimmers of what they were capable of, you can hear them teasing out their ideal synthesis of country, R&B and swamp blues or whatever you want to call it - and there are some really good songs - but Green River is the moment it all comes together
― Οὖτις, Friday, 29 May 2015 17:42 (eight years ago) link

Man, Fogerty has written some incredible stuff. Was just listening to the #1 fans the Minutemen, and their "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" is, along with Bruce's, such a great underscoring of that song as an amazing part of the protest canon.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 May 2015 17:48 (eight years ago) link
Actually, Bruce does "Who'll Stop the Rain," doesn't he. Eh, same dif, both great.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 May 2015 17:49 (eight years ago) link
The Minutemen also do Don't Look Now, a song whose lyrics are probably more relevant today than when it first came out.

― Master of Treacle, Friday, 29 May 2015 18:24 (eight years ago) link
What I love about the Minutemen's covers is they really turn them into Minutemen songs, esp Halen and the Dan, the covers that hew too close to originals I don't love as much.
"Don't Look Know" is so much about Boon's vocal that it carries the song for me

"Who'll Stop the Rain" has probably gotten the most repeat listens from me. I love the build-up to the refrain. I love the three-note guitar hook like a raindrop splashing off the ground. A classic, tremendous tune centered around harrowing tension & poignant release.

ostensibly yes, but I'm actually not going to get a chance to tally things up till tomorrow, so i'll extend the deadline till noon tomorrow

sent in my ballot, hope I made it in time
― some dude, Saturday, 13 June 2015 15:15 (eight years ago) link
I've only got 21 ballots including my own, which seems a little low. I'm inclined to extend the voting period. Is anyone else interested in voting?

Wow, I thought this might end up being one of the polls with big participation, but ilm is finicky.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 June 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link
21 is about average i think
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 14 June 2015 17:23 (eight years ago) link
I didn't submit a ballot, but would vote if an extension was made.
But I don't want to be that guy everyone's waiting on either.

I think 20+ is enough to get reasonable results. ILM def has poll fatigue and extending deadlines isn't going to change that.
― WilliamC, Sunday, 14 June 2015 17:30 (eight years ago) link
all right, i'll go ahead and tally these up, then. voting is closed!
― example (crüt), Sunday, 14 June 2015 18:29 (eight years ago) link
i know everyone likes these brief voting periods but i always thought 2 weeks was too short, both as a voter as an organizer. i always pushed back the deadline for polls i ran to encourage more ballots. and w/ this one i just barely had the time to work on my ballot before the 2 weeks were up.
that said, 21 is definitely a decent number, maybe even above average. i've definitely done artist polls w/ fewer voters.

I promise I won't say "'Ramble Tamble' only at No. 16? It would've at least been No. 15 had my ballot gone through."
― pplains, Sunday, 14 June 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
Don't worry, I've got "Ramble Tamble"'s back.

Oh yeah, I've def got "Ramble" in my top five somewhere
― bunny slopes, Sunday, 14 June 2015 21:39 (eight years ago) link
No worries on the "Ramble Tamble" front.
― The Manner of Crawly (Tom D.), Sunday, 14 June 2015 22:31 (eight years ago) link
"Ramble Tamble" is probably very moved by this outpouring of support.
