Beatles, Stones, Zep, Who, and also the Kinks who became mega in the States after tanking it here.

"Creedence really is a black hole for us Britishers"
A good example of a band to which this actually applies NRBQ Classic or Dud

Regardless of their chart performance at the time, they're pretty much unknown to people my age (26) except as that band the guy in the Big Lebowski likes.

Mind you, I know it's been said before but:
20 Creedence Clearwater Revival Green River Jan 1970 10 Creedence Clearwater Revival Willy And The Poor Boys Mar 1970 1 Creedence Clearwater Revival Cosmo's Factory Sep 1970 8 Creedence Clearwater Revival Pendulum Jan 1971
So that's 2 months, 6 months, 4 months. And that's just the ones that made the UK charts!

Dire Oyster Revival is the best band ever.

There are lots but the best example, without a shadow of a doubt, is Kiss.

Journey, too, I believe.

that's depressing! i'm 25, and while the big lebowski's done a lot to sustain CCR's popularity, i know lots of people that love them aside from that!

CHOOGLIN TIME!
The only problem with Creedence Friday is that now all other Fridays just won't be the same. We'll have to make every Friday Creedence Friday!

TH: We often cover Creedence Clearwater Revival, which is weird because I don't personally like them as a band, but it turns out...like, I don't like Proud Mary. You know that song?
Pitchfork: Yeah, I do.
TH: I don't like that song.

ramble tamble is f'in awesome, but it has that line that creepsme out: "actors in the white house." it's like weird reagan prophecy...has anyone else noticed this? this song was written at least ten years before RWR was elected President...what is going on with Fogerty & co.?

While still governor of California, Reagan ran for President in 1968 - he actually beat out Nixon in overall popular vote, but didn't have enough delegates to defeat Nixon.

Listening to "Bootleg" on shuffle play and was reminded of the "appalachian-kraut-boogie" description from one of the other CCR threads. Brilliant song.

Then I will never respect anything you have to say about anything. Including "I actively dislike Credence Clearwater Revival."

Why do you "actively dislike" them?, says this fan of CCR.

Fogerty's big chompin' voice grosses me out.

My mom beat me with a switch while playing CCR non-stop. That is why. Feel bad about it.

Listening to CCR is the only thing that got me through the hard times of being beaten with a switch.

Based on these anecdotes, I will probably give CCR's live show a miss.
