I put this playlist into YouTube for your convenience here. Label states the album was released on (C)(P) 1876 Fantasy Records, though obviously not correct (1976 being the original release date). On Front sleeve (bottom right): Purple Fantasy Lightning Logo Navy-blue labels, silver lettering. Here are the 25 best songs from John Fogerty, both solo as well as with his classic rock band – C.C.R. On Front sleeve (top left): 'CCR-2 Specially Priced Two-record Set'.

The John versus Fantasy Records was also well documented (and I side with him on that one), but when he finally was free of them and decided to return to his roots with his 1985 album Centerfield I felt it was so similar to the CCR stuff that I wanted to combine both the solo career with the group’s songs on this list.
The John versus Tom, brother versus brother feud is well documented, so we won’t delve into it here other than to say – it probably could have been avoided if John was a better leader and Tom could set aside his pride. In all, seven albums in five years…and that was the end of that. 'Lodi' was the B-side to another country/rockabilly-informed tune, 'Bad Moon Rising,' the single selling gold. In 1969 they released three records, and followed that up with two more in 1970. CCR also had great mainstream success while exemplifying what Parsons termed 'cosmic American music': an amalgam of rock, soul, gospel, country, rockabilly, etc. Five albums in two years? Think about that. The power struggle within the band that ultimately cost them an extended run was a real shame.Ĭreedence Clearwater Revival is one of the best classic rock bands of all time, and in their heyday they were reeling out hit songs like nobody’s business. Or perhaps it was his voice that created that style of music to begin with. Look no further than the million movies that use his songs for any seen involving the Vietnam war, or any scenes that take place in backwater country. Just perfect for the genre – good, clean southern rock.
