"Keep on Choogling"

"Pagen Baby"

"Porterville"

Tough to narrow it down to 3. At the moment, I would probably go with: Ramble Tamble, Green River, Born On The Bayou.

Travelin Band
Tombstone Shadow
Lodi

By the way, does anybody hear the similarities between Travelin Band and Hard Headed Woman??

Also...tell me that Fogerty didn't get some of his sound from these guys:

--- Born On The Bayou
--- Who'll stop the Rain
--- Run Through The Jungle

Tough to narrow it down to 3. At the moment, I would probably go with: Ramble Tamble, Green River, Born On The Bayou.

Good point i picked born on the bayou then changed my mind ! my 3 may change tomorrow too !

Travelin Band
Tombstone Shadow
Lodi

Also...tell me that Fogerty didn't get some of his sound from these guys:

great song first i have heard it ! i guess it does sound a little like john on the vocal.

Born on the bayou
Green River
Fortunate Son (live version from 1969 or ´70 is fabulous...great drummer too!)

Almost impossible to pick just three from this great band...!

It has elements of a number of 50s rock classics, but the vocal owes most to Little Richard.


Tough to pick just three, but I do really enjoy:

Lodi
Fortunate Son
Have You Ever Seen the Rain?


Proud Mary is perhaps as good as each of those, but I don't find myself as drawn to it.

Top Three (For Today):
"Up Around The Bend" -- one of the coolest intros in rock history
"Fortunate Son" -- inspired by David Eisenhower
"Don't Look Now (It Ain't You or Me)" -- tribute to Elvis at Sun

By the way, does anybody hear the similarities between Travelin Band and Hard Headed Woman??

I don't.

"Travelin' Band" is a 100% homage to Little Richard, right down to the sax solo played by John. It's a lot of "Long Tall Sally" crossed with a pinch of "Keep A-Knockin'."

Also...tell me that Fogerty didn't get some of his sound from these guys:

He didn't.

Mickey Hawks (and Fogerty) pulls from the sound of the one and only Georgia Peach, Richard Penniman. Hawks, who played piano, also adored Jerry Lee Lewis.

And Fogerty's vocal style, as he might tell you himself, also owes a lot to the great Howlin' Wolf.

Green River
Bootleg
Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

For today:

Travellin' band
Get down woman
Pagan baby

"Up Around The Bend" -- one of the coolest intros in rock history

No doubt. My point was that..too my ears...Mickey Hawks and Fogerty's vocals sound incredibly similar. Anybody that was screaming was probably because of, as you pointed out, Little Richard and/or the Wolf!

Tough to narrow it down to 3. At the moment, I would probably go with: Ramble Tamble, Green River, Born On The Bayou.

You nailed it! To do a top five I would have added "Fortunate son" and "Sweet hitch-hiker".

Don't think that Fogerty would agree with you on that......

It Came Out Of The Sky

Lookin' Out My Back Door

Green River

Actually, with the plethora of brilliant songs John Fogerty wrote, it isn't hard to come up with favorites, 'cause they were almost 100% instant classics, and have stood the test of time until today !
