WRONG. I would be perfectly happy to never hear another note performed by John Fogerty ever, ever again.
I love CCR but I can certainly understand why people wouldn't like them: Fogerty's voice, samey arrangements, tendency to jam aimlessly -- Oh No, It's Dadaismus (dadaismu...), June 2nd, 2006 11:12 AM.
You got it.

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"

a chooglehead can provide more detail. and i'm not sure how retaining the writer's share of the copyright compares to artist royalties and owning the masters and publishing. it's probably peanuts, but it wouldn't be zero.
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 12 January 2023 20:43 (one year ago) link
Writer and publisher shares are usually 50/50 each; writer royalties legally can't be below 50%.

Robey, definitely. A complete sack of shit, and until recently, I didn't realize that some believe he coerced Big Mama Thornton into loading the bullet that killed Johnny Ace into his gun.

If you include managers, Peter Grant has to be near the top of the list.
― Unfairport Convention (PBKR), Monday, 16 January 2023 15:34 (one year ago) link
Grant didn’t steal from, or otherwise rip off, his bands. But he got in way over his head thinking that surrounding Zeppelin with his gangster buddies, and using brute force bullying tactics, was a good idea. Zep got their money, and control over their work, but Grant did tremendous damage (physical and emotional) along the way. Not for nothing did Plant and Page take on Who/Judas Priest manager Bill Curbishley for the UnLeded records/tours.
