I was at this Who show, and this was pretty unexpected:http://youtu.be/YYYxad4SxKY
Holy shit, Goat. And of course, Daltrey's got a voice to match Fogerty.
Both bands could make a reputable claim to being the most famous band to never have a U.S. No. 1 song.
― pplains, Saturday, 30 May 2015 01:37 (nine years ago) link
True, and the Who only ever had one top 10 single ("I Can See For Miles," which hit #9).
And otm re: Daltrey's voice. He lost range over the years, but gained grit. I actually don't think he could've pulled this off as convincingly in his mid-70s voice.

Pumped for this poll, so many choices for number one. Is CCR the greatest American rock band ever?

After Bruce Hornsby & the Range, yes.

Just added everything back onto my iPod. Excited as hell for this poll!

Tracks ballot submitted. I had 30 to start; chopping away those last 5 was tough.

Is there some reason all the albums besides Green River are on Spotify and it isn't?
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 30 May 2015 20:39 (nine years ago) link
Because everyone should own a hard copy of Green River?
― Love, Wilco (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 30 May 2015 20:52 (nine years ago) link
I have it on mp3, but I am actually too lazy to open the folder and load it into winamp. I'll have to, though, because Sinister Purpose isn't on either volume of Chronicle.

My fave discovery, so far, from my trek through CCR's album catalogue:

^^ very very high on my ballot, so fuckin good
― sleeve, Thursday, 4 June 2015 17:37 (nine years ago) link
It made my ballot; I probably should've put it higher.
crüt, are you sending confirmations?
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 4 June 2015 17:40 (nine years ago) link
that one squeaked in at the bottom of my ballot - it's good, like a country novelty song
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 4 June 2015 17:52 (nine years ago) link
still working on my ballot but "It Came Out of the Sky" will definitely make the cut
going through the albums, I was surprised to enjoy Pendulum so much ... Fogerty's performances on Hammond and horns are mostly just passable but somehow they sound great
― Brad C., Thursday, 4 June 2015 18:00 (nine years ago) link
Pendulum is v underrated!
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 4 June 2015 18:03 (nine years ago) link
the last hurrah
I didn't like it very much, will try again at some point but I know for sure there's no more room in my 25
― sleeve, Thursday, 4 June 2015 18:05 (nine years ago) link
Coverage of the 2008 expanded reissues, and the way Fogerty's sensibility comes across; kinda ties in with Mark Sinker's '03 post, pasted onto this here thread earlier:http://www.villagevoice.com/2008-10-01/music/revisiting-the-curt-cosmic-populism-of-creedence-clearwater-revival/full/

I haven't sent out any confirmations yet, but I will try to remember to do that tonight.

I've never heard "Sailor's Lament." Love the groovy bass, the organ, the horns.

btw I'm counting Chronicle as an album b/c why not

Finally sent confirmations to the people who have sent in their ballots so far. Remember, the deadline is tomorrow night! (+ however long it takes me to tally up the ballots)
― example (crüt), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:10 (nine years ago) link
will send one today
― sleeve, Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:29 (nine years ago) link
aw c'mon man this is like voting for the Immaculate Collection or something
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:30 (nine years ago) link
can't believe I left Don't Look Now off my ballot
― Brad C., Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:32 (nine years ago) link
you can resubmit!
― example (crüt), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:33 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, putting together my ballot for submission right now. I still expect mine to be very Greatest Hits-y, with only a very few songs that people who only know CCR from Chronicle or classic rock radio won't know. Will say, though, that for someone who has only ever heard Green River among their studio records that Willy and the Poor Boys was a minor revelation.
― The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:33 (nine years ago) link
xp thanks, I'll leave it as is, it was hard to get down to 25 tracks ... maybe some late voters will pick up my slack
― Brad C., Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:35 (nine years ago) link
def hard to narrow it down. listening through all the songs on my ballot, I keep thinking every single song should be my #1.
― example (crüt), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:41 (nine years ago) link
My list is basically Chronicles Vol. 2.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:55 (nine years ago) link
OK, sent. Don't even want to think about the stuff I've left off.
― Willibald Pirckheimers Briefwechsel (Tom D.), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:57 (nine years ago) link
Nothing wrong with voting for either (and TIC is worse than Chronicle). Some comps transcend their ephemerality: Al Green's, Sly Stone's, Singles Going Steady.
