Lynyrd Skynyrd vs CCR

I'm having an argument with a friend over this. I personally like LS better. I need opinions.

CCR: more songs, better songs. If he isn't already, John Fogerty should be in some lyricist hall of fame.

Skynyrd was a better band, but Fogerty was a better songwriter.
Still, they both made awesome music. Why choose one over the other?

Green River and Cosmo's Factory are both all time great albums.

Well bama fans have made one of LS's biggest hits virtually unlistenable to me.
Even throwing that out, I feel like CCR has the better catalogue

Give me CCR.

I like both well enough. CCR's overplayed popular stuff seems to hold up better to me than LS's. Plus Fogerty was pretty genius writing all the La, bayou stuff from California without actually ever seeing a bayou.

CCR, better lead vocals, more iconic songs, by all accounts were a great live band in their prime. A really self-contained band in that John Fogerty produced and wrote the songs, whereas Skynyrd had the benefit of Al Kooper doing the dirty work.

CCR all day.

Skynyrd by far for me

As a person who dislikes both and has no dog in the fight to say the least, JF catalog is ridiculous as compares to LS.

I'll get booed for this but I hate both. I can recognize the quality in their music but it has long-since been ruined by repetition and sappy sentimentality of the fans. I can't listen to CCR without getting the mental image of bland, basic people thinking they're being rebels by "rocking out" to Proud Mary. And Lynyrd gives me white trash douche chills all the way to the bone.

CCR by a mile,
"CCR doesn't have anything close to Freebird " live" though."
This would be a net positive for CCR.
