Any CCR fans here?

In 1972, I was stationed at Cherry Point, NC (I was a Navy Corpsman, but attached to a Marine air division.) I bought a brand new 1972 Mach I Mustang, which came with an 8 track tape player. I could only afford one tape: CCR. I lived about 100 miles off base (I was helping a friend remodel his house) and drove that 100 miles to and from the base each day. I listened to that one tape every day, and now when I hear one of the songs on the radio, I'm back in my Mustang blasting down the road. :)
 
REDNECK ROCK! Now yer talkin'! :D

Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog! ??????

Go to your room, young man... And you're grounded for a month!!!

A lyric from Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World" accredited to CCR? Blasphemy! :eek:


Not that far fetched.
Hoyt Axton wrote "Joy to the World" and did a version of "Midnight Special" (Thunder 'n Lightning).
Easy to mistake Hoyt for CCR :rolleyes: Could happen to anyone ;)
 
I liked Creedence in '69 and '70, when their sound was fresh and new. John Fogerty's voice was unique then, even though fans had a bit of a letdown when it came out that none of the band members came from anywhere near a bayou or swamp. That was then, this is now.

Although I still like to hear some of their songs...Fortunate Son comes immediately to mind, as does their cover of Good Golly, Miss Molly.

Like a lot of the sixties and early seventies bands, their music sounds dated to me now. And unlike a lot of other bands of that era, I don't particularly associate CCR with memorably good times. They were just background music to a few years of my life. Their music lost any relevancy it might have had for me once the new music of the eighties took hold...that and the rockabilly revival almost totally eclipsed my previous musical likes.

I don't listen to the radio much (if at all) now...preferring to use Bluetooth in the car and listen to the music I've loaded into my iPhone. When I do happen to have the radio on and CCR comes on, my first thought is usually something along the lines of why-am-I-listening-to-this-now?

Creedence Clearwater Revival? Gone, but not completely forgotten, I guess.
 
If I'm driving a long distance and strt to get tired I can put on some CCR and it will wake me up and get me going at 100% again. Always liked their music, still do.
 
I was a huge CCR fan back in the day but that was a long time ago. I listened to them on the radio in high school and every band in every bar for years after. I can only listen to a song a few thousand times and I get tired of it.
 
My first remembrance of CCR is when I was in a Huey in 1968 for a mission to some forsaken place I couldn't even pronounce and the huey crew had huge speakers on the skids banging out a song by some `new group` that song was Susie Q, so loud one couldn't hear the door gunner
