Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits - Creedence Clearwater Revival (CD 1991)

I may have been too young tyo appreciate the hits. It is OK - but my older brother likes it. I really hate that you hae to type in 100 characters or more on these reviews - it makes this no fun!

AS A TEENAGER AND GROWING UP LISTENING TO CCR AND RELATING TO THE WORDS IN THEIR SONGS CAN'T BEAT THEIR MUSIC AND STILL CAN'T TO DAY EXCELLENT MUSIC TO RELIEVE STRESS WITH.

I have always loved CCR, and their music is rare and hard to find exactly what I want, but this Seller had what I was looking for.
Original Music, not remastered, thats what I love

This is a good and well-rounded basic collection of songs if you want to choose one representative CD of Creedence Clearwater Survival.

If you were a teenager or young adult in the 70's I don't need to tell you who CCR - "Creedence Clearwater Revival" is.... There music is still loved and enjoyed today even from those who were not from the 70's generation. This CD of their 20 Greatest Hits will move you mentally and emotionally. What talent!
Recommend this item to anyone! It's one of the BEST!!!!

This is a great collection of CCR's best classic rock songs. Not only good songs, but they are in a good order on the CD. Like CCR, you will like this CD. Want to add some CCR to your other music collections, this is the one! Enjoy!

For foot tappin' and air guitarin' good time. This CCR album bring back the memories of a more innocent time when we were trying to make a difference in the world. These war protest songs are still fresh and new even today. Fortunate Son gives a look at the double standard that was present during those times. Senator's kids were exempt from the draft and everyone else was expected to participate. Thankfully those times have changed, but the music still keeps us rockin'

Looking for my favorite oldies, this CD is in great shape, all went great, thanks, quick response, quick mailing, A++++++

I love this product. It is just what I wanted at a great price. It arrived very fast! I love Ebay! There is nothing I dislike. Ebay is fabulous! We are about to open a store on Ebay. I am so excited!

Awesome compilation. CCR at its best. Creedence Clearwater Revival was probably the greatest American singles band, one of the hardest-working American groups of any genre, and almost the only exponent of working-class sensibility in American rock & roll -- particularly California rock & roll -- after the advent of Haight-Ashbury and before the rise of punk.

Led by guitarist/vocalist/writer John Fogerty, the group simply pumped out classic rock singles, one after another, in much the same rockabilly spirit as Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis, adding some touches of New Orleans R&B and other relatively antediluvian sources. On its first album (Creedence Clearwater Revival), the band attempted to stretch out, as was then the fashion, but though the approach garnered a hit with "Suzie Q," an extended version of the Dale Hawkins classic, Creedence didn't really hit stride until Fogerty tightened up some three-minute songs. Then began the flood: "Bad Moon Rising," "Born on the Bayou," "Commotion," Down on the Corner," "Green River," "Have You Ever Seen the Rain," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (an extended song that worked), "Proud Mary," "Travelin' Band" and "Who'll Stop the Rain." All of this occurred between 1968 and 1973, when the group fell apart.
Perhaps best of all were "Lodi," the story of a working rocker's depression at being stuck in another out-of-the-way gin mill and his determination to beat everyone, and "Fortunate Son," a stab at the privileged that only kids from the wrong side of the ultra-hip San Francisco area could have felt so sharply. (Creedence arose from roughly the same town as the psychedelic bands, but came from much poorer families.) And after a time, Fogerty burned to prove that he was as much an artist as anyone in the Grateful Dead -- he apparently did not know that he was already more -- and the group tried to stretch out, to make nominally "progressive" music. Not all of this was unsuccessful, by any means -- "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" is more intense than any six minutes of Grateful Dead music on record -- but still, his metier was the single. Eventually, the group tried to achieve a communal balance, the other members of the quartet contributing songs to the final studio record, Mardi Gras, a noble but disappointing affair. Since then, it's all been repackages, except for the lamentable Live in Europe.

If you like southern rock, you love this CCR completion album. I sat down and listened to the entire thing in one sitting. Absolutely great job in selecting the songs and numbering the tracks perfectly. CCR is famous for having a great beat with the echoeing lyrics. This sets a good example of this. This album is a must have for any southern rock fan.

Being of the age of the late sixties and early seventies and the Viet Nam experience, CCR was my beer drinking, cruising music. This CD takes me back to the days of eight track tapes and my 67 Camaro SS. Makes me feel twenty years old again!

C.C.R. Awsome CD, you gotta get this one. I've heard a few songs I never heard before, and love them. One of the best classic rock bands of our time, this is truley a must have CD to have if your a classic rock fan. Songs you haven't heard in a long time and songs you may not remeber.

Like having an oldie and goodie on CD. Now I can listen to the old favorites in the new truck with the latest sound system!

Nothing is better then driving the backroads in the spring time with the top down and having CCR belt out Proud Mary on the radio. CD was in great shape and the delivery turn around was fantastic

I enjoy this CD and love the songs and like to listen to it a lot.Everyone here like the music.That is why I bought the CD.

I love it...I had it in "album form" years ago when I was a teenager and wanted to hear those great songs again.....

Although the case was cracked, the CD has most of CCR's hits which I was looking for on one CD. Enjoyable listening.

I love this band, is one of my favorites. This CD is excellent because includes all the classic songs from this band.

Creedance Clearwater Revival is one of the most original, unique and alive singing groups of the 20th century and possessed a special musical quality that pierced the listener's very soul. My 18-year-old son had just taken up the guitar and was interested in the best of the classic talents of my youth: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, etc. I told him, You haven't heard anything until you've heard Creedance!, and bought him the DVD of their greatest hits on eBay. When he heard their music, he was in total agreement of my assessment, and has been getting the chords to their most popular songs off the Internet. I understand they are still playing for the nostalgia generation and hope someday my son and I can see them perform live.

This is my first Creedence Clearwater Revival album and it's definately a MUST OWN. Not being a purist (or shackled in dogma), I love the concept and economy of "Greatest Hits" albums--because it's hard to escape the fact that many bands have albums with songs which merely weigh down the listening experience. Take heart, there are a few exceptions--Led Zepplin, Eric Clapton, etc. The downside of Greatest Hits albums are the hidden gems discovered if one were to own the complete collection...and I'll probably never know if this is true for CCR.

I love CCR! Bad Moon Rising is so sweet to hear,again.
haven't heard them in some time so decided to buy it! Rolling Like a River,beautiful.

I enjoy listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival and this CD has quite a few of my favorites on it.
