I was taking a Photoshop class and we were reviewing a recent test. One question was "what is GCR?" and someone put Creedence Clearwater Revival instead of Gray Component Replacement. I giggled a little too loud at that.  |

Creedence Produced some of the most timeless music in a very short time!
Great Album - Great Song

Random trivia: in the jukebox market, CCR is the #1 band -- CCR is present on more jukeboxes than any other band. Next time you're enjoying a cold one at the local bar, check out the playlist on the jukebox. Assuming it features rock, chances are really high that it will contain at least once CCR tune, if not an entire CD's worth.

I'm curious to know - am I the only person who detects that John Fogerty always sings about 2 cents flat (a "cent" is a musical term for 1/100 of an octave for those who may not have taken music theory)? In every song by Creedence he's just the tiniest bit flat... it makes it a little uncomfortable to listen to for me.
I hadn't noticed actually, but maybe that adds rather detracts to some people. Like George Harrison's guitar was always tuned somehwat sharp, making it much more distinctive than otherwise. |

Singing a tad flat is standard among blues singers. |

Yea, we've all heard this a million times but that's not really the song's fault is it? A great song is a great song. The thing that I like about RP is that you get to hear old songs in the context of other songs that you would never hear together.

Good song to start the day at work! Gets the old feet tapping and brings back good memories of high school (yep, I'm that old) :)

My parents live outside a little beach town called Grand Bend, so whenever we're driving there we throw this in the deck and turn it up loud!

Is John Fogarty even capable of making a bad recording?  |
