Not only are CCR one of the greatest bands ever, but they flourished at at time when the predominant sound was psychedelic and they went against the grain and still had great success.
@@QUINTUSMAXIMUS, psychedelic music or psychedelic rock is a style of music popular in the late 1960s that was largely inspired by hallucinogens or so called "mind expanding" drugs, such as marijuana and LSD, that reflected drug-induced states through the use of feedback, electronics and intense volume. There is a lot of info on this kind of music, you just have to look this stuff up. Good luck.
That is because people back then didn't bother to try to categorize and divide rock music up into 'gendre's'. We loved rock music and all of the different expressions and styles that grew out of the early 3 chord rock n' roll. There were only really 3 or 4 different styles of music that were played on radio in the early days of R n' R. Country, which was referred to as Country and Western, Contemporary, and Rock N' Roll. Classical and Jazz had there place too but weren't played on the radio very often. Things stayed that way until 1963-4 when it all changed because of a band called The Beatles! Rock music grew exponentially from then on and meshed, incorporated and inspired so many styles that categorizing them wasn't really important. Just listening, being inspired by and enjoying all of the different bands and their own interpretation of 'rock' was the norm. In fact The Beatles were CCR's favorite band and their main inspiration!!!
@@patriciakeith6755 that was a lot of words to not answer his request. He asked for examples of the genre not a definition. @Basil Maz some examples would be the Doors, the Who, the Byrds, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd. there are a whole lot more. hope that helps.
These guys are unmatched! I can’t get enough of them, even after all these years! Who would have thought that voice would come out of that guy?? John Fogarty’s voice could rip a hole through a brick wall!! Next from CCR, I suggest “Long as I Can See the Light“ Great choice guys! 🌺✌️
These guys were able to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame back in (1993) even though they were together from 1967 to 1972. In just those five years. Their body of work was so awesome that the Rock & Roll Halll of Fame inducted them in their first ballot.
@@steveduncan9256 CCR started playing together back in 1959 to 1972 under various names before settling on CCR in 1967. The band initially consisted of Lead Vocalist, Lead guitarist, and Primary Songwriter John Fogerty: his brother Rhythm Guitarist Tom Fogerty; bassist Stu Cook; and Drummer Doug Clifford. These members had played together since 1959, first as the Blue Velvets and later as the Golliwogs. Even though to make it into the Hall of Fame for being together for just five years as CCR 1967-1972. Is an awesome feat...😎
⭐⭐⭐⭐💋⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don't believe anyone can carry this song as well as this GREAT BAND If only it could be a powerful spell to turn many frogs out there🤫 Australia 💕 Christina
Creedence Clearwater Revival, also referred to as Creedence and CCR, was an American rock band formed in El Cerrito, California. The band initially consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty; his brother, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty; bassist Stu Cook; and drummer Doug Clifford.
"Born On The Bayou" is so important! "Ramble Tamble", "Graveyard Train", "Keep On Chooglin", "Proud Mary", "Ninety-Nine and a Half", Tombstone Shadow", "Pagan Baby"!
All of CCR’s songs are out of this world, I love grooving to them again & especially watching your reactions!! So glad to have known their music way back & now with your reviving this fantastic music more generations will discover the music of the baby boomers 😻🇨🇦🎶☮️💜
At 57 years old, born & bred in South Yorkshire England 🇬🇧, and totally into Motown in my teens & early 20s. I had never had the pleasure of being Introduced to these absolutel Kings of music. It's Only since subscribing to reaction channels that I have come to appreciate & love what these guys did. 🎼👹🎭👑
Drummer: Doug "Cosmo" Clifford. Bassist: Stu Cook. Rhythm Guitar: Tom Fogerty (John's brother... now deceased). And, of course, John Fogerty on lead guitar and vocals.
Everybody's done a version of this song! Nina Simone did it in 1965 (it's a more Jazzy version with piano), heck even Marilyn Manson did a version of it. But this is hands down the best version!
Yes, I agree, ever since I heard them on a TV commercial back in the late 70s and bought the 12in Record, The Concert, and get this it was C.O.D. fro Colect on Delivery I was 12 or 13 at the time. CCR is my all time favorite along with Jim Croce.
I love that “hell yeah!” when you realized he was gonna do a whole second verse of guitar solo! 🎸💥 One of my favorite solos ever. This is the original studio audio track over the live video footage from Woodstock. If you get a chance check out the actual Woodstock audio. The live guitar solo is equally amazing!
So many people have covered this song. But this is my favorite version of this song hands down. CCR can't be beat & no one else has a voice that even comes close to John Fogerty.
Enjoy you two so much...Thank you for reactions...Love your Elvis, and now you are taking this senior back to her youth again with the great CCR! What memories... How about 'Traveling Band'? :-)
When they released their greatest hits on CD, what an amazing experience. One of those they took pride in producing in high quality and at least 80 minutes long. With a new PC stereo system what a blast.
CCR are the gods of cover songs, it never fails, every time they do a cover song, they make it better. Well, play whatever you want to play next, don't worry, you'll be pleased.
Shawn watching you, watch this ,was amazing.You were enthralled , so good to see you both loving the music we grew up with and enjoying it so much.CCR really had a sound of their own.
Was my Mother's favorite band, grew up CCR, great to see u guys reaction...Classic Tunes GRHS He (John Fogerty) fought for a lot of years, to get his music back....Should check out the Blue Moon Swamp...Excellent
I grew up on CCR and there one of the GOAT'S, Thank You for ya'lls reactions, Hello Ms.Lady Mel your looking lovely 😍 and Mr.Shawn, you we're really getting into this song,Hope ya'll keep having an amazing day, I hope ya'll have a Blessed day too 🙏💞
I love your reactions to these classic rock groups. You clearly recognize talent! 60s and 70s were the golden age of rock and roll, IMO. And my fav group of that era was CCR. So hugely talented!
This is my very favorite band!!! I’m so happy that y’all appreciate CCR!!💕 Another wonderful version of this amazing song is by Joss Stone… with Jeff Beck. Her voice is absolutely AMAZING!! It’s definitely a close second to CCR’s version, at least for me. BTW, I love you guys, I just found you tonight 💕😎😎💕
The clip is from CCR at Woodstock 1969, Creedence was the first group that signed to the festival. The organizers had trouble to get artists after CCR had signed many other followed as you know.
I gotta say, I had Cosmos Factory back in the day and was easily one of my top ten favorite albums. As time went on, I moved on to other styles and times. Having heard the album so much I could recall it in my head any time I wanted. (I have my own little radio station up there.) Watching you guys hear this for the first time brings back the excitement I felt way back when. I'm hearing this stuff again for the first time. Keep the joy going!
I know just how much you both love, love, love CCR, Please do a reaction to their song: (GREENRIVER) just another outstanding song from an outstanding band!! Thanks for the uploads 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The only song I know how to play. I set a goal of learning to play guitar before I turned 60. This is the song I chose. I played rhythm, my cousin played bass, his son lead, and my nephew played drums. We got on stage and played at a bar. You could say we were a one hit wonder! A great memory. Glad you enjoyed this CCR song.
They are complete class I am starting to realise how good they are and I’ve listened to them a lot John Fogarty’s voice is incredible and the band dynamic is infectious
One of the strange things about this band is the fact that they weren't around ( as a band) for very long at all, maybe 5 to 7 years but oh my goodness the amount of records that they sold during this time was really hard to believe, still it happened. John Fogarty was extremely talented as a songwriter and singer. .....WOW!-
First heard Suzie Q, in 1967 While working as a grocery stocker at a store in Grand Prairie Tx. My first thought was, " Good God man, i have found my music"! Thank you Lord for who for whover thisdude is ! "
This is at Woodstock, please react to another great Woodstock performance by Johnny Winter doing "Mean town Blues', terrific guitar solo, love you guys!
Drummer is Doug Clifford. Bass guitar is Stu Cook. Backup singer and other guitar is John's older brother, Tom Fogerty. Sadly, Tom died in early 1990s from AIDS, which was traced back to a blood transfusion he got when undergoing back surgery, before they could test blood for HIV. The other 3 are still alive and John is currently touring, singing his same epic hits!
The first band to consistently challenge the Beatles' primacy for me. John Fogerty, with CCR or much later solo, is rightly considered a GOAT! Great, soulful, gritty voice, terrific way with a guitar too - hooks, riffs, rhythms, leads, songs. All killer, no filler.
Ramble Tamble, Pagan Baby, It’s Just a Thought, are a few great songs that didn’t get radio play back in the day probably due to their length. Molina is a fun little song.
Not only are CCR one of the greatest bands ever, but they flourished at at time when the predominant sound was psychedelic and they went against the grain and still had great success.
And that’s the truth…
What are some of the examples of psychedelic? I don't know much about that. Anyway, I love CCR.

Thought it was 68 to 71 they were together

When Shawn clenches his fist listening to CCR, I know he is 100% vibing with this band. Love watching y'all.
This band has no bad songs. It's a helluva rabbit hole to go down if you have the time. Keep up the good work y'all!
only bad songs were sung by doug clifford or stu cook on the 1972 Mardi Gras album.
@@sanpaku6869 I liked Door To Door never like their version of Susie Q though
@@oldermusiclover No, Susie Q is one of their best - the long version from the first LP.
@@6699230 well we can agree to disagree thanks again
One of the only bands you can say that about 😮❤
Thank you guys for doing CCR, John Fogerty is a flipping magician.
Flipping right!

The band initially consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty; his brother, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty; bassist Stu Cook; and drummer Doug Clifford.
I actually like this version better than the original by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Annie Lennox also did a fantastic version.
Screaming Jay was grand daddy of horror rock as someone put it. You should hear Whistling Past the Graveyard.
Nina Simone?
Me too
Angelina Jordan
Angelina's cover is IMHO the best there is.
"Run Through The Jungle" may be their best, it is a song about the proliferation of guns in America, but ended up as a huge Vietnam War protest song.
One of my favorite CCR songs is "Down on the Corner". I remember my dad blasting that one on the radio as a kid.
"Born On The Bayou" is so important! "Ramble Tamble", "Graveyard Train", "Keep On Chooglin", "Proud Mary", "Ninety-Nine and a Half", Tombstone Shadow", "Pagan Baby"!
One of the best American rock and roll bands ever. Still sounds fantastic today.
CCR is one of the best bands of all time. Period. The man can sing and play the guitar with the best of them. Still in my top 5 bands of all time.
You are so right ‼️‼️ ✌️
funny thing is he once told Dan Rather he was not a good picker
All of CCR’s songs are out of this world, I love grooving to them again & especially watching your reactions!! So glad to have known their music way back & now with your reviving this fantastic music more generations will discover the music of the baby boomers 😻🇨🇦🎶☮️💜
Gives me chills every time I hear it....powerful.
talent..all live, no auotune. They always just brought pure, amazing talent.
Chills up my soul.
CCR really does this song justice in every way. Makes you sit up and take notice for sure. This live show was and always will be the best.

Lovin’ y’all’s reactions!
CCR is on the spot, good stuff, all the way around!
Much love to ya’s!
*Ninety-Nine And A Half Won't Do* is an absolute must after this one. Yet another CCR blues cover that was one of their best!!!

How about 'Traveling Band'? :-)
Fantastic song
The best reaction,you both looked amazed,this man was rated the 27th best guitarist in the world..many say no,higher..a genious
"someday never comes " , must hear
When they released their greatest hits on CD, what an amazing experience. One of those they took pride in producing in high quality and at least 80 minutes long. With a new PC stereo system what a blast.
What a fantastic and appropriate reaction. Thanks
They put a spell on me. I can't get enough of them! Crazy good! Especially Johns voice!
I was lucky enough to seee them in concert, never forget.
CCR are the gods of cover songs, it never fails, every time they do a cover song, they make it better. Well, play whatever you want to play next, don't worry, you'll be pleased.
THAT WAS HYPNOTIZING HUH? OF COURSE IT WAS, IT PUT A SPELL ON YOU! :) THAT'S GREAT
This was filmed st Woodstock!. CCR is EPIC!
Long as I can see the light..The night time is the right time
could be one of the best rock n roll songs ever..............

These guys had five number two hits, more than any other band, they never had a number one hit, but did have a number one album.
Best version of the song ever.

One of the greatest vocal performances of all time!
No current artist can touch that feel. It pulls you into the essence of the song.
Been a big CCR fan since the 60's when they 1st came out.
Being a drummer I play a few of their songs too...
I’m so glad you all love them! They’re so amazing! Just absolutely feel good music!
Proof that rock is a mix of blues and country ccr is the best at this
This is my very favorite band!!!
I’m so happy that y’all appreciate CCR!!💕
Another wonderful version of this amazing song is by Joss Stone… with Jeff Beck.
Her voice is absolutely AMAZING!!

You're right 😀!! Masterpiece for sure!!
Great song Shawn and Mel another good one from CCR is Suzie Q
Ramble Tamble is another EPIC CCR original. Written by John Fogerty.
My favorite version of this song. So much passion! ❤️
The only song I know how to play. I set a goal of learning to play guitar before I turned 60. This is the song I chose.

Came out of the sky is another CCR classic. Was used in breaking Bad
Chills
Yet another classic tune from legends.
So so soulful !! Love their version.

one of my favorites. good reaction thank you.

Pagan Baby from the Album Pendulum is the best Song from Creedence Clearwater Revival
First heard Suzie Q, in 1967
While working as a grocery stocker at a store in Grand Prairie Tx. My first thought was, " Good God man, i have found my music"!
Thank you Lord
for who for whover thisdude is ! "
John is a baaad man on vocals and on the guitar
This is at Woodstock, please react to another great Woodstock performance by Johnny Winter doing "Mean town Blues', terrific guitar solo, love you guys!
🎸 💯 CCR: a badass band I've loved for years‼🔥
I never hear this song without picturing Little Richard, who poured his whole self into it! Lol ☮ ❤🎵
CCR can play anything and kill'it.
Listen to 'Candle in the Window'
Long as I can see the light
The sound of this song is unmatched
Hey Shawn and Mel❤️love your channel. Your both💕so nice! John Fogerty- lead singer. Iconic band
CCR is playing at woodstock in this video,another great song is Lodi.
Drummer is Doug Clifford. Bass guitar is Stu Cook. Backup singer and other guitar is John's older brother, Tom Fogerty. Sadly, Tom died in early 1990s from AIDS, which was traced back to a blood transfusion he got when undergoing back surgery, before they could test blood for HIV. The other 3 are still alive and John is currently touring, singing his same epic hits!
However John was a ass towards them by not playing with them at the RnR HOF induction.
@@brianherrington7226 He had plenty of reasons not to.
What’s there not to like!!! There life span of putting out hits was short lived but there music is still jamming after 40 plus years!!!
What a voice.
The first band to consistently challenge the Beatles' primacy for me. John Fogerty, with CCR or much later solo, is rightly considered a GOAT! Great, soulful, gritty voice, terrific way with a guitar too - hooks, riffs, rhythms, leads, songs. All killer, no filler.
Killer tune. As long as I can see the light is my fav ccr
These guys were like no other band. Nobody sounded like them.
Back in the day my brother and me bought all their 45s and had several albums
CCR is a great addiction to have
I've never heard this version. I do believe it's my favorite.
Ccr are like beatles they made great song and they are timeless
CCR this version of "I Put A Spell On You" is Blues, Soulful, and Rock and Roll and simply AMAZING ! The Best Version of the Song !
I like the other versions of this, but Mr. Fogerty just kills it, along with the band!!!
This is...🔥🔥🔥
Another banger! "Long as I can see the light".
Gotta agree. That was a mesmerizing guitar solo. Did anyone answer about the drummer? Doug Clifford.
Ramble Tamble, Pagan Baby, It’s Just a Thought, are a few great songs that didn’t get radio play back in the day probably due to their length. Molina is a fun little song.
You guys really need to listen to Blood, Sweat and Tears, "You've made me so very happy." I enjoy watching your reactions. God bless you both.
I see a bad moon risin'
I feel that troubles' on the way !
Quite prophetic !
