Really? I think that they are generally regarded as one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time.
Actually I think they get more credit than is due - but that's just me. Every song seems to sound the same.
It’s weird. If you ask someone about CCR almost all will say they were a great band. But if you ask someone to name the great bands of rock n roll, they rarely get mentioned. Sees they are the forgotten band. Maybe didn’t have enough top albums/hits. Or didn’t last long enough.
Loved their unique sound. Great voice.

Great band. Different sound than much of what was big at the time, yet accessible. Very popular and well deserved.
Yup. Lodi, Cotton Fields, Long as I can see the Light. Damn near carbon copies
Oh, I forgot 🙄
They really cut through the artistic pretension of the late 60s with stripped down 3-4 minute stretches of perfection
Best version of Heard it through the Grapevine….
If I asked me I would tell you they were a great band who have seemed to gone somewhat under-appreciated over the years. But I’ve never “listened” to CCR. I’ve always liked all of their stuff I’ve heard on the radio and never felt a need to hear it more than that. Same situation as Zeppelin for me. Great band, great music, for some reason never have gone out of my way to listen to them.
few weeks ago the family and I were talking in Frederick, MD and I say...
'Down at the corner'
And my son starts singing
'Out in the street Benny and the polk were singing...'
I've raised him right!

What a GREAT NIGHT IN BEAVER STADIUM DURING THE ILLINOIS GAME. I'll never forget the image of the rain in the stadium lights all game and the students.
Give the OP a break. We have a tendency to praise bands and musicians we like by saying they were “underrated” and actors as being “down to earth.”
