Great band(s) i also am partial to Gov't Mule with Allen Woody on bass.

[BILL POSTERS]

Theres a 'rockumentary' doing the rounds on Heyday TV (Sky 192) gets repeated quite a lot.

[Chienmortbb]

Why should we not get you started on Steely Dan?

[Lozz196]

Love CCR, so many great songs. Worth checking out Jon Foghertys The Long Road Home, live CD, it`s excellent.

[discreet]

Loved CCR since I was a kid wearing out their singles on my mono Dansette record player...

I think this is from the Albert Hall - Fortunate Son : great, great track.

Love the bass rig too - the very antithesis of lightweight gear : four 8x10s (or possibly 2x15s)! Rock & Roll baby!!!

You're back on track again

Terrific.

[Owencf]

Good tunes when im in the car..my wife slides down the seat:D

[BILL POSTERS]

Always struck me as a wildly undated band,

Bad Moon Rising always takes me back to bombing down to Rickmansworth in a Mk2 Zodiac to see my then girlfriend - great car when your only about 17 -

Heres my favourite creedence track, whch nobody else ever seems to have heard of.

Another Creedence track that you don't hear very often; I love this one.

Yep, can't go wrong with a bit of CCR. Theirs is my favourite version of 'heard it through the grapevine'

Lot of car for 17, 2.6litres iirc. straight 6, 3 speed column change. Used to use about 8 gals of gas an one of oil to get there and back. [size=4] Petrol was only about 5/6d a gallon though.[/size]

That's weird. Half the world - well, in my circles anyway - seems to have at least both Chronicle and Volume Two, and it's on one of those.

Well I persuaded my last band to include it in the setlist so not so! We did our bit to spread the word about Jose and his tractor!

Great to have a thread on CCR - possibly my favourite band/style ever. Even made it into one of my favourite films - Apocalypse Now - who can name that tune? And was it CCR themselves playing it live?

Cheers,
Rich

[leroydiamond]

Was listening to their album 'Cosmos Factory' the other day and every track is a classic. Outstanding recording from a terrific band.

[/quote]because i will bore you to death. imo they are the cleverest band to ever write music.

I love CCR, it's a shame that most 'non musos' only seem to know 'Bad Moon Rising' though as that's one of my least favourites of theirs.
I wanted our 'acoustic' band to do Down on the Corner but they looked at me like I'd lost the plot.

I was about to say 'Fortunate Son' but I have a feeling it was 'Suzie Q'.

True. We used to open our set with Bad Moon and it always went down well . . . even the way we played it

Right first time. Check out the lyrics - it's a pretty angry song.

[hollywoodrox]

Looks like I'm the only one who is not a big fan, friend of mine plays their stuff in the car a lot along with ed sheerhan, drives me nuts.
