Either way, and I know it's a bit of a faux pas to discuss "Greatest Hits" albums and the like, but in terms of a retrospective, if there's a bad song on "Chronicle, Vol. 1", I don't know what it is. 20 tracks deep, no skipping. Beyond strong...Fogerty may not have been as prolific as Dylan or Young, but he was almost certainly more efficient. Not saying he's "better", no point in that anyway, but I have no qualms about calling Fogerty one of the greatest (North) American song writers of all time. Probably don't even need the geographical qualification... I wasn’t aware of a CCR backlash, but I definitely consider them a “great” band.

And yes, CCR is heavily underrated as a whole, even though stuff like Fortunate Son has probably played them out. Personally, my favorite CCR vehicle was their 16 minute cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine".Also, I saw Creedence Clearwater <strong>Revisted</strong> in Chattnooga in high school. It was cool but a little disappointing to see how easily they found a singer that sounds just like Fogerty. Awesome article.
