POLLIN' on the river — CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (ILM artist poll #62) RESULTS THREAD

oh, calendar year. I was being elastic and was gonna include Zen Arcade. Their productivity was remarkable too.

Who do you think you are, Tiger Woods?

am I black or white
am I straight or gay

did you win four consecutively or did you win four in the same year.

how can there be time for good conversation when you're pondering that kind of perpetual motion.

Drums are so perfect on "Feelin' Blue"...for that matter, they're perfect on every CCR song.

And few bands had as consistently brilliant a drum sound throughout their recorded oeuvre as Creedence did.

is there a spotify list for the poll results?

sorry i didn't search for it before posting that

not yet!

i only know the basics of CCR but my parents used to call them Los Creedence bc apparently that's what they were called when my mom lived (with her parents) in Mexico
seems like good times summer tunes, i could use that

unfortunately some of their tracks aren't available on Spotify :(

rats. i don't even like spotify but i thought it was more polite/reasonable than asking someone to ysi

here's a youtube playlist:

Jesus, that album is terrible though.

Talking of albums, I realized today that the first CCR albums I heard were the 1st and Pendulum! My brother was given them or borrowed them or something from a guy in his school or the guy's big brother or something. Gatefold photo in Pendulum is awesome btw.

I think it's terribleness is oversestimated given what came before. but yeah the non-Fogerty stuff is totally forgettable.

xp

er not given, "because of"

there's only like 2 songs from Green River that aren't on Spotify, nothing else really major from their studio discography is missing

Mardi Gras wasn't so terrible that I couldn't stand to listen to it twice when I was prepping for this thread, but I doubt I'll ever feel the need to hear it again, and I certainly didn't vote for anything from it.

one of those is "Cross-Tie Walker"

that seems so weird to me, do they have different rights/publishing or something?

outrageous, this deserved top 20 imo

so...does anyone know if Fogerty still has lots of dough despite the law suits and countersuit?

Still like its appearance in Twilight Zone: The Movie.

Ha, just thought of that.

I assume Fogerty has always had some kind of cash flow...more than once, he went 10 years without putting any records out (or touring).

(xxp)

I imagine he's the sort of guy with a dirt floor; he just keeps on chooglin'.

he's doing allright

that seems to be a parody site

He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Fogerty Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Berkeley Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfogerty - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from John) and a fashion line called “John Fogerty Seduction”.

23. Keep On Chooglin'

Should have your CCR cards revoked.

That lady from the RAH show must have abstained from voting.

Then Green River isn't on there which is dumb.

Isn't it #7?

I meant it wasn't on my top 10 but should be (along with probably 5 other songs). They were too good.

"Chooglin'" was my #2. If the RAH set had been out when this poll happened, that version of "Chooglin'" would've been my #1.

If I had voted, I might have had "Chameleon" somewhere at the bottom of the ballot, even if it's not typical of their work. Without Fogerty's vocal, you might mistake it for any act in 1970 trying to get on AM radio, but it's very spirited and catchy.

(xp) #7 in mine. Don't hate me, people.

I'm thinking that Pendulum, their supposed attempt to sell themselves as a "serious album band" by late 1970 standards, goes to extremes with their most "bubblegum" material and also their most avant-garde/progressive (or whatever "Rude Awakening #2" is supposed to be). Was this a White Album-style "we can be eclectic too" statement?
