[BrklynLiberal]

1. Proud Mary??? ooops Did not see it first time...NEVERMIND n/t

[NightTrain]

2. What about "Proud Mary?" Are you saying I ranked it too high?

Or too low? :shrug:

[BrendaStarr]

7. How can one chose a Credence favorite?

I chose Proud Mary just because it was all alone without a vote when I saw it, but among most of those listed I couldn't really say which.

[MissBrooks]

20. Proud Mary

How could anyone pick anything else?

Proud Mary is the SONG!!

[RagingInMiami]

3. What about the Midnight Special!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RagingInMiami]

But I love Fortunate Son also

[fiddlestix]

14. We watched an Ed Sullivan TV Special on PBS...

and CCR did "Fortunate Son" & I heard the lyrics & understood them for the very first time...as did my 15 year old son, once he was done laughing at the silly clothes & hair, lol...

[NightTrain]

6. Nobody did that song better than Joe Turner.

Sorry....

[Zomby Woof]

4. Impossible to choose

I'll add "Tombstone Shadow", "It Came Out Of The Sky", and "Effigy" to your excellent list.

Oh, and "Penthouse Pauper".

[NightTrain]

8. "It Came Out of the Sky" would've been #11, if I had the space for it.

Best damned post-1958 rockabilly tune ever, no doubt about that! :headbang:

[Zomby Woof]

11. and maybe rock's first swipe at Reagan!

"Ronnie the Popular said it was a Communist plot!"

[WildEyedLiberal]

5. Have You Ever Seen The Rain? = great song n/t

[NightTrain]

10. That would've been #12.

Hey, admins, can we expand the polls to 15, or even 20, positions? Pleeeeeeeeease???

[tyedyeto]

9. Other???

Keep on Chooglin'

Also enjoy Susie Q cuz my daughter and I have a special bond with that song........and no, neither of us are a Susie.

Edit for spelling

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

5. Lookin' Out My Back Door
6. Run Through the Jungle
7. Up Around the Bend
8. My Baby Left Me
9. Who'll Stop the Rain
10. I Heard It Through the Grapevine
11. Long as I Can See the Light

[Straight Shooter]

13. (Lodi) The man from the magazine, said I was on my way

Ha! I can relate to that song, kinda sorta a little bit in a manner of speaking, well not really, but I really like the tune :D

John Fogarty, if you're out there, CCR will never die.

[acmavm]

15. Lookin' Out My Back Door. When my little sister was just a couple years

old that song came out. She was just adorable, and she'd sing that thing all the time (or at least her version of it).

I raised her until he was twelve. She died from a brain tumor when she was 22. Everytime I hear that song it makes me happy just remembering her, "Doo Doo Doo Doo out my back door." That's all she really came close to getting right. But she sure had the spirit of the song down.

[Zomby Woof]

16. There is no DU rule

Against you creating a second poll with #'s 11-20.

[mac56]

17. Picked "Bad Moon Rising"

But would have picked "Long As I Can See The Light" if it were listed.

[Thurston Howell IV]

18. What about Susie Q?

I voted for Green River, but Susie Q is great as well.

[last_texas_dem]

19. Voted for "Who'll Stop the Rain"

I like all of those listed in the poll. To these I would add "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", "Hey Tonight", "Long as I can See the Light", "Someday Never Comes", "Walk on the Water", "It's Just a Thought", "I Put a Spell on You", "Sinister Purpose", and "Ramble Tamble." Oh yeah, and I have to mention "Rude Awakening #7" from Pendulum since I'm the only person I know who actually likes it.

Yeah, so I guess I like too many CCR songs...

[bobthedrummer]

21. "Green River" from these tunes for my #1

I'm in the vanguard on this-trust me!
:smoke:

[Elidor]

22. Where's Born on the Bayou?

I can't believe you put Lodi ahead of that! Hell, even Suzy-Q is better than Lodi!

[Zorro]

23. Effigy

Too many excellent CCR songs to pick out just one favorite, but this one has a very powerful quality about it and is frequently overlooked by these "best of CCR" polls.

Give it a listen sometime; it really evokes the late 60s/early 70s for me.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. What about "Born on the Bayou"?

[jonnyblitz]

28. that one is my favorite. n/t

[Kathy in Cambridge]

29. me too

great minds think alike! :toast:

[Lady Effingbroke]

25. "Good Golly Miss Molly", "Cotton Fields", "Night Time Is The Right Time",

"Fortunate Son", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Run Through The Jungle", "Commotion", "Born On The Bayou", "Lodi", "Green River".

CCR - too good to choose just one song!

[tilsammans]

26. I love their version of . . .

"I Heard It Through the Grapevine."

[Lone Pawn]

27. I can believe Fortunate Son would win.

The song was practically written about our current president. Every. Single. Line.
