a lot of snobbishness back in the 60s/70s about many of the more pop orientated bands among serious rock enthusiasts. I remember secretly liking I remember secretly liking Credence Clearwater Revival,

I was too young to care about the snobbishness ..... Credence was my very first favorite band. Man, talk about a hit machine. Fogerty (back then) could write a top-20 FM masterpiece in his sleep. Too many great songs to list. And a very, very tight band with a great and distinctive sound.

No doubt about it. John Fogerty was one of the most prolific songwriters of his time--and his guitar work was always crisp and inventive.

Fogerty can still write great tunes -- he just doesn't bother to put out albums more than once every ten years or so.

Then again, I think John Fogerty holds the distinction of being the only man in the world sued for plagiarizing himself...
