I don't think there has been a CCR thread here yet... so here goes:
I loved to hear "Bad Moon Risin'" cranked up on the LP. (For that, it's esp. handy to live in the country where your nearest neighbor is a quarter of a mile away)
"Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" was in my head this morning...
I don't think I caught half of what they were trying to say, but I really enjoy listening to a lot of their stuff.
Anyone else like them or have favorite CCR songs?

Oh yeah.. Proud Mary... that one sticks in your head too.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

"Bootleg" is another one I enjoy.
[Edited for redundancy; I twice posted that I agreed with Cheval's mention of "Run Through The Jungle" as a good song.]

saw John Fogerty at the Houston Rodeo some time back. excellent show.
CCR's version of Midnight Special
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Special_%28song%29
John and Alan Lomax, in their book, Best Loved American Folk Songs, told a credible story identifying the Midnight Special as a train from Houston shining its light into a cell in the Sugar Land Prison.
a couple years ago TDCJ sold the Sugarland prison, known as Central Unit. the airport bought the land and the prison was torn down. I was only there once; Julie had applied for a job there. did not get it.

love the band...
here is a deep cut
Effigy
and one of my favorites - the instrumentation and John's vocal are spot on...
Long As I Can See the Light
John Fogerty's vocals convey desperation and longing so well.

I grew up on their LPs, which my parents had along with other truly great records.
Down on the Corner was a favorite as well.
Creedence is a great source for Mondegreens; among them, the classic misheard line "there's a bathroom on the right". I actually thought the chorus for Down On the Corner went, "Down on the corner, out in the street, Willy and the poor boys are playing, playing kick up happy feet". (I'ts "bring a nickel, tap your feet", btw).
