That opening riff is pure gold.

[@blanewilliams5960]

"Suzie Q" "Commotion" "Who'll Stop the Rain" "Lodi" "Travellin' Band" "Long As I Can See the Light" and still more and don't forget "Proud Mary". I love this band, it was one my father and I had in common. Cheers!

[@blanewilliams5960]

"Someday Never Comes" makes me think of my father, and my son.

"Who'll Stop the Rain" should be next on the CCR rotation. For those of us who lived in the late 60's, it was our anthem! Another GREAT song by one of the best groups of all time!

I would even take it one step further and say that CCR is one of those few bands where I literally like every song in their catalog. Literally every song is really good to me. And each of their many many songs has its own distinct personality and feel. And they do have some longer songs as well; I bet you would be blown away by their song Effigy. And then a fantastic party banger that's long and hypnotic with a great groove is Chooglin'.

[@daleflix]

This song among others like “ Going Up The County “ by Canned Heat ‘68 were part of the Hippie “ back to the land” movement. Woodstock was ‘69 and “Up Around The Bend” is 1970. Many songs fed into this living off the land idea.

[@Martin.Wilson]

Another such a group from Canada was Lighthouse, the Canadian equivalent of Chicago. Their song Take It Slow was a great back to the land song. This group was amazing...definitely give this one a listen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYfGinyql8esrtU

John Prine's "Spanish Pipedream" was the best of the back-to-the-country genre IMO.

[@TonyfromBham]

To me, the best thing that came out of that “back to the land” movement was Green Acres, a hilarious TV show that mercilessly makes fun of the whole thing.

1st Album I ever bought. I remember riding my bike to the record store with my paper route money and buying Cosmos Factory.

[@irishgrl]

CCR always puts a smile on my face 👍

[@robland6804]

CCR's "Chronicle" is one of the all-time greatest "greatest hits" albums. Spent much of the 80s cruising around Georgia in my Jeep with CCR's Chronicle blasting from the cassette player lol

[@gregscupholm9111]

Chronicle- 20 hits strong!

[@musicluvr70]

I've had Chronicle and Cosmos Factory in my vinyl album collection for years, but just recently purchased "Bayou Country", "Green River", "Willy And The Poor Boys" and their "Creedence Clearwater Revival" albums to make it 6 of their Top 10 albums from just about any list there is. Too bad my kids will probably sell all my albums for $1 a piece at yard sales after I'm gone. 😟

[@davidschecter5247]

That guitar sound that starts this song off is one of the greatest and it is unique!

[@normandaubry]

It’s incredible to think that they produced all these hits in a period of about 3 years. They’re probably the most productive hit machine ever!

[@reednewell2164]

Man, does this brick back great memories. This record was released the year my friends and I all turned 16. There was nothing better than getting your drivers license, installing an 8 track player and a set of speakers in your parent’s (or if you were really lucky, your own) car, and feeling the freedom of driving down the road with your buddies. Everyone I knew had a CCR tape and we all played it LOUD.

[@kevinpeterson4116]

One of the best road trip songs ever! This or "Jessica" should start every roadtrip playlist.

[@mylesteller]

Dude yes......I'm always on CCR when I hit the highway!!

[@pcard10]

They were one of the few bands that had a string of A and B side single hits. The Beatles were another to do so, that's good company in my opinion.

[@jvmonte6638]

The opening track off this album (Cosmos Factory), is called Ramble Tamble and definitely worth checking out.

[@kennyhuskisson2684]

Ramble Ramble will get you up & going, can't sit still to it, man what a jam!👍✌️

Yes! Ramble Tamble!

[@tomh1754]

Ramble Tamble has my vote too great suggestion

[@curtcody2308]

Was working in my garage yesterday when Ramble Tamble came on (my iphone was on shuffle mode). I had to stop, grab a beer, crank it to 11 and sit down and just listen. One of my favorite CCR songs of all time.

[@creech54]

I push for "Ramble Tamble" every time you do a Creedence song!

[@otisdylan9532]

They haven't done "Who'll Stop the Rain" or "Lookin' out My Back Door" yet. Don't think they've done "Travellin' Band" or "Long As I Can See the Light" either. So Cosmos Factory would be a good choice for full album listen.

[@williamallen2413]

If you want something a little bit different from CCR, try Someday Never Comes. It was from their last album before they broke up, and was the only song on it worth listening to, pretty much by design. There is a whole backstory to that album, which I won't bore you with right now, but that song to me shows the growth of John as a songwriter, and is a must hear for fans of CCR.

[@wolfetom10]

Thank God that song is on Creedence Chronicle so I don't have to listen the crappy last album to hear it. One of my personal top 10 CCR songs, especially love the sax solo ... so out of box for CCR but so perfect in the context of the song.

[@traceyvavrecan6714]

That's my favorite CCR song

[@tinareaume7484]

YES! That song made me cry the first time I heard it.

[@allisonreed7682]

Happy Monday! The opening riff of this song is so cool. As much as I want y’all to hear CCR’s original version of “Proud Mary,” the CCR song I really want y’all to react to next is “Suzie Q.” It’s a bluesy remake of the 1957 song “Susie-Q” by Dale Hawkins. It has a killer drum intro and a dirty guitar riff. Sauce all day long.

[@johnnymartin49]

John Fogerty is a national treasure. He did a series of song remakes on YT during lockdown playing with his kids and grandkids from his home that were pretty cool 😎

Gotta love this CCR classic! Other CCR songs you should check out are Travelin' Band, Lookin' Out My back Door, Green River, Lodi, Proud Mary and Who'll Stop the Rain (Not be confused with Have You Ever Seen the Rain, which you've done).

[@Lagib28]

Their final album, Mardi Gras has a banger called Sweet Hitchhiker, and a quieter, more melancholy rocker named Someday Never Comes which I suggest you guys check out. Both were big hit singles, and then sadly, CCR was gone.

[@Martin.Wilson]

Losing CCR back in the day was like having your big brother move out of the house...weird, sad and you just knew that this was the end of the salad days.

[@denystull355]

Before Mardi Gras was Pendulum, a very overlooked and forgotten CCR album. There were hits like Hey, Tonight!, Molina, and then some lesser knowns in a similar fashion to Someday Never Comes, listen to It's Just a Thought and you'll know what I mean.

[@chrisdelisle3954]

Picking up CCR's "Chronicle Volume 1" is an excellent choice for any beginning listener to CCR or classic rock music from the 60's and 70's in general. You got 20 straight-up bangers one after another. I think of all the greatest hits albums that are out there, it's one of the most essential and one of the best bangs for the buck. However... It doesn't have either Born on the Bayou or Ramble Tamble on it. Those are, to my ears, CCR's 2 best songs. There are several other classics, you'd be missing, as well. Songs like "Cotton Fields," "It Came Out of the Sky," "Wrote A Song For Everyone" and "Effigy." So, while in the short term, "Chronicle Volume 1" is essential, if you're in it for the long haul, you've got to pick up at least 4 albums in "Bayou Country," "Green River," "Willy And The Poor Boys" and "Cosmo's Factory." As consistent as "Chronicle Volume 1" is, so are these 4 albums. 14 of the 20 songs on "Chronicle Volume 1" come from those 4 albums, including 7 from Cosmo's Factory alone.

[@philly452009]
