Wonder if there's any CCRevisited tribute bands out there. Bet they put on a show.

Last time I saw Fogerty--only time in years--was on Letterman a year or two ago, when his Creedence redo album was out, doing "Someday Never Comes" with a band I didn't recognize. I thought they sounded great, although a ravaged voice, for that particular song, might have been part of what appealed to me.

always thought that Elliott Easton must be really hard up that he's stuck with Cook and Clifford for so many years…
I can't imagine how horrible it must be to play with such a unique and swinging rhythm section night after night.
As unquestionably brilliant as Fogerty was, he wasn't/isn't Creedence (and he seems to think he is). Listening to Kenny Aaronoff's caps-lock butchering of "Ramble Tamble" made me realize that the CCR version is nearly as much Clifford's song as it is Fogerty's.

I find it virtually impossible to argue with any of the individual polls here.

I meant it wasn't on my top 10 but should be (along with probably 5 other songs). They were too good.

"Chooglin'" was my #2. If the RAH set had been out when this poll happened, that version of "Chooglin'" would've been my #1.

If I had voted, I might have had "Chameleon" somewhere at the bottom of the ballot, even if it's not typical of their work. Without Fogerty's vocal, you might mistake it for any act in 1970 trying to get on AM radio, but it's very spirited and catchy.

I'm thinking that Pendulum, their supposed attempt to sell themselves as a "serious album band" by late 1970 standards, goes to extremes with their most "bubblegum" material and also their most avant-garde/progressive (or whatever "Rude Awakening #2" is supposed to be). Was this a White Album-style "we can be eclectic too" statement?
