10 Best Credence Clearwater Revival Songs

The 10 best Credence Clearwater Revival songs still sound good. Unlike some 60's music that made no sense after the drugs wore off, many of these CCR songs seem more profound than ever.

Fortunate Son: This Credence song should be required listening for every politician who does not consider the harm they do to poor people. From the Vietnam draft to insurance mandates on laid off workers, it's still relevant if you "ain't no senator's son" (from the CCR album Willy and the Poor Boys).

Run Through the Jungle: It reminds me of Vietnam and the hardships of people who live through war instead of just seeing it on the news (from the CCR album Cosmo's Factory).

Born on the Bayou: It's so infectious it makes me feel like I'm from Louisiana, and I was born in Flatbush (from the CCR album Bayou Country).

Who'll Stop The Rain: It's like all great blues songs that make me feel better even though the lyrics are about suffering (from the CCR album Cosmo's Factory).

Bad Moon Rising: It's a fun Credence song that brings back memories of singing "there's a bathroom on the right" (from the CCR album Green River).

Stuck in Lodi Again: I've never been to Lodi, but I still like the feeling it gives of being tired of the same old routine (from the CCR album Platinum).

Up Around The Bend: It's a cheerful song, and makes me want to "ponder perpetual motion" (from the CCR album Cosmo's Factory).

I Heard it Through the Grapevine: It has a great beat, and makes me think of those cute little raisins
(from the CCR album Cosmo's Factory).

Someday Never Comes: I like the simple advice that you better "learn fast" from a boy whose father abandons him (from the CCR album Chronicle).

Proud Mary: With all the laid off workers and job satisfaction at an all time low, this Credence anthem sounds better than ever about how to "quit a good job in the city" and live more meaningfully (from the CCR album Bayou Country).
