Is CCR the most underrated band of all time?

They have just as many if not more hits as any classic rock band you can name and their albums are some of the most well rounded music of that era.
Also, it cracks me up how a band based out of the Bay Area in California is a headliner of the “southern rock” genre (right there with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers in my opinion).

I wouldn't call John Mayall and the Blues Breakers "Southern Rock." They were pretty much pure blues.

I grew up in the 60s and 70s and they were definitely not underrated during that era. People knew how great they were.

This. I had all their records, and played "Cosmo's Factory" so much the grooves literally wore off and the album had to be replaced.

Yeah, they seem like a band that’s properly rated. They had a bunch of pop hits, their songs have been used in a ton of movies and TV shows. I mean, they’re one of those bands whose music is synonymous with the 60s. Maybe the one thing that hurt them is John Fogerty has had a lowish profile and he went years without playing Creedence songs because of a pissing match he had with their manager.

My vote for most underrated band is Thin Lizzy.

For normies, yes.

I thought it was a legal issue. Didn't he have some now-fabled testimony about only knowing how to sound like John Fogerty, ergo he couldn't be infringing on his own copyright?
That was a lot of beer and bong rips ago...could have that all wrong.

Yeah, he battled the record company for years.

And most electric blues that inspired the Brits was from black musicians who had migrated north to Chicago etc. So no, Mayall et al are not by some associative leap "southern rock".
I'm pretty sure you already know this though... so I assume you're just disingenuously muddying the water, so to speak.

Maybe it was both - legal issues and a pissing match with management?
I do remember reading somewhere in the mid/late 80s that Bruce Springsteen told Fogerty that he had to start performing Creedence songs again or else people would think Tina Turner wrote Proud Mary. So Fogerty dipped into the CCR catalog at Farm Aid or some other big benefit concert.

where are they rated? I mean, they're ok but, I've never owned any of their music.

Correct, but it was actually Bob Dylan that told him that.

Most underrated to me would be tom petty and the HB's
Posted on 1/30/24 at 10:33 am to crotiger0307
I like several Fogerty songs. Otherwise, I consider them overrated. His fake accent was dumb. And bubblegum crap like Centerfield is cringeworthy.

Mine is the Meat Puppets… in the 80s. They fell off a cliff when alternative exploded (all 3 members had developed horrible drug problems by that point).
