One song I will allow: The one about Lodi is at least moderately tolerable. That's the highest compliment I can pay, sorry.

b) All members of CCR are guaranteed to go to heaven when they die, thanks to their version of Good Golly Miss Molly.
c) Cosmo is seriously ripped in that Woodstock footage!

Creedence were about the only late-'60s Bay Area band who didn't jam aimlessly. they barely "jammed" at all! two long songs on Cosmo's Factory /= "a tendency"

otm. i always heard their longer stuff ("grapevine," "ramble tamble," "keep on chooglin'") as a response to the dreary ineptness of groups like the dead: "hi. yeah, just wanted to let you know that we can do everything you can do, plus everything you can't do. sometimes simultaneously."
― Lawrence the Looter, Sunday, 7 October 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Truly, if you don't thrill to "Born On The Bayou" or the riff to "Up Around The Bend" then you should probably defenestrate your stereo, as you clearly have no appreciation for decent `choons.

I've stated before that Creedence Clearwater Revival is one of my favorite bands. They have one of the best singles runs of any band in the last 50 years. Every Creedence single was a double A-side. "What's your favorite Creedence song?" you might ask. And I would say "Whichever one is currently playing or is about to play next, depending on the physical proximity I have to one or the other." However, their long songs are nowhere near the might and caliber of late-60s Dead explorations.

The thread title is hyperbole, but there's a kernel of truth. There are bands I like way more than Creedence, but they're a universal litmus test. If you actively dislike them (rather than just don't know that much about them beyond Lebowski, which is true of pretty much the entire population of the UK) then we're coming at music and culture from such different directions that we're never going to get along and we better stick to topics we know won't bug us.
