"Heard it through the grapevine" is one of the best jams ever

Up around the bend is probably my favorite
Such a driving guitar riff to open the song

Long as I can see the light

Even though they are from Cali.... I do really like "Born on the Bayou."

Have you ever seen the rain?

Proud Mary

Looking Out my Back Door

Bad Moon Rising

And I wasn't alive when these songs were released. Timeless.

Fovorite CCR song. Very, very tough.
I'll go with Long as I Can See the Light
But there's lots of close calls.
I think CCR is under appreciated. They belong in any discussion of Greatest Rock bands. I think they get overlooked because they didn't get into the drugs and live that rock band life style.

Green River, although sometimes I'll temporarily get in a mood where I think Fortunate Son is one of the coolest songs ever.

Born on the Bayou. Probably because I was born in a hospital across the street from Bayou Lafourche.

Second is Midnight Special.

But the correct answer is whatever song is playing while I am at the camp with a beer in the hand.
