Should have your CCR cards revoked.

My top 10 in no particular order:

Sinister Purpose
Fortunate Son
Effigy
Ramble Tamble
Keep on Chooglin'
Lodi
Born on the Bayou
Long as I Can See the Light
Wrote a Song for Everyone
Someday Never Comes

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

I find it virtually impossible to argue with any of the individual polls here.

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

Isn't it #7?

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?
