Creedence Clearwater Revival

[Semper Fi]

Old school and easy-going, but I like 'em!

Good memories for me. Had a friend whose father was a retired Air Force colonel. He would always say to us "play that Clarence Creekwater stuff again, I like it ".

 

[Jackass]

One of the top 10 bands of all time IMO.

 

[Dan]

Great band! I just recently got into them, for some reason I never really gave them a chance, but now I like them a lot.

 

[musicman]

Great, great band. Contagious, toe-tapping fun - like the early Beatles. Great choice, Semper Fi! I think my favorite is " Down on the Corner ".

 

[5stringJeff]

I don't like oldies, so I really don't like CCR, but I can see how people would like them... they do have a good groove to them.

My personal favorite is "Long as I Can See the Light".

 

[Jackass]

Great song Dan!!

 

[Semper Fi]

Yep. CCR is definately one of the greats.

 

[Said1]

I like "someday never comes".

'Travelin' Band' is the one I always spend my nickel for in the jukebox.

 

[Semper Fi]

Nickel? What was this back in the 1800's?

 

[Joz]

So, is this the kind of stuff you're learning from this board?? :tng:

 

[freeandfun1]

I love CCR. I am also a big fan of The Moody Blues.

You know, there were ALOT of good bands, then. When music WAS music. Another favorite is the Eagles. A friend had a Henley concert DVD. Did 'Hotel California' with a salsa beat. Not only was 'Hotel California' ruined it wasn't even a good salsa!!

AAAHHHEEEMMM...

There is still lots of good music out there. Take Incubus, for example.

 

[Joz]

I didn't mean to insult you. There is still good music being recorded. Just not in the abundance that it once was. So much tho' sounds like the same song with someone different trying to sing it. That goes for Country music, as well. Whatever happened to being origional?

I'm referring to a time where there were The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Dave Clark Five, Mammas & Papas, Aretha Franklin, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Four Seasons, Joe Cocker. Not a one of them sounds like the other. Each had his/her own style and they were great. That is what I mean 'when music was music'.

 

[5stringJeff]

Gotcha Joz. BTW I am very hard to offend.

I agree, though, it seems like a ot of music today has the same sound/feel, especially pop and rap/R&B. Rock still has a varying feel to it though.

 

[Semper Fi]

See, rock will never die. I find myself listening to rock from the 70's and 80's and Im just blown away. I love it, nothing can ever compare to it. I dont care what da gangsta rappuhs gosta say.
