Well, John Fogerty is still cranking out good new songs now and then, isn't he? A one-of-a-kind artist. Great composer of guitar hooks. Very influenced by Steve Cropper. So there's a lot of soul in their stuff as well as the country, rock and Dylan facets.

Their stuff stands up very well. I've always thought they could have been a better band, though, if John Fogerty was the rhythm guitarist, and they had a more innovative lead player.

Who'll Stop the Rain was one of the first songs I ever learned. Ever hear Springsteen play it? (he used to do it in live shows, early 80's.) Or Battlefield Band's pseudo-trad cover of "Bad Moon Rising"?

I still play "Lodi" and a couple of others.
