Creedence Clearwater

It Came Out of the Sky


Oh, it came out of the sky, landed just a little South of Moline.
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b'lieve what he seen.
Laid on the ground and shook fearin' for his life.
Then he ran all the way to town screamin' it came out of the sky.

Well, a crowd gathered round and a scientish said it was marsh gas.
Spiro came and made a speed about raising the Mars tax.
The Vatican said, woe, the Lord has come, Hollywood rushed out an epic film
and Ronnie the Popular said it was a communist plot.

Oh, the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero.
Walter and Eric said they'd put him on a network TV show.
The White House said, put the thing in the Blue Room, the Vatican said,
no, it belongs to Rome
and Jody said, it's mine and you can have it for seventeen million.

Oh, it came out of the sky, landed just a little South of Moline.
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b lieve what he seen.
Laid on the ground a shakin', fearin' for his life.
Oh, then he ran all the way to town screamin' it came out of the sky.

Used to have a double album of their greatest hits once. Back when some of us owned record players, that is. Those songs you mentioned are great ones, too and I like 'em.

[Jason]

Oh yeah, they're the best. I love em!! One of my favorite 70's bands.

[MaDaM MoIw]

I was looking them up on the AOL music store for that one album I used to have. If they don't want too much for it, I thinks I'll get it.

70's huh? Just how old are you? Just kidding. Most men don't like to give out their age. Haha! I get to 50, then I'll lie about mine.

Lodi


Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin´ my fame and fortune
Lookin´ for a pot of gold
Thing got bad things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh ! Lord Stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the Greyhound
I´ll be walkin´ out if I go
I was just passin´ through
Must be seven seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh ! Lord I´m stuck in Lodi again

The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar
For ev´ry song I´ve sung
And ev´ry time I had to play
While people sat there drunk
You know, I´d catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh ! Lord, I´m stuck in a Lodi again
Oh ! Lord, I´m stuck in a Lodi again

this is an awesome 70's band. You guys most likely wont like em, but I do, reminds me of the days of me and my dad hanging out outside listening to it blasting loud on his fathers concert speakers. Oh yes.  Good times.

Who'll Stop the Rain?


Long as I remember the rain been comin' down,
clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm,
caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears
and I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

my dad loves CCR too.
well, my dad loves all these 70's & 80's bands.(i've heard him mentioning bout all those bands before & most of them are listed here. ;D
cool!

CCR is awesome. John Fogerty is still doing shows and albums. Some of his recent stuff is really, really good.

Revival, his newest release - debuted at #14 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and sold 65,000 copies in its first week. It was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Album of 2008.




Gunslinger - one of my favorite, if not my favorite one of Fogerty's songs is on the Revival album...

Gunslinger

Lookin' out across this town
Kinda makes me wonder how
All the things that make us great
Got left so hard behind

This used to be a peaceful place
Decent folks hard workin' ways
Now they hide behind locked doors
Afraid to speak their minds

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

Someone let the fences go
Wild eyed bunch moved in you know
Shootin' up the streets shoutin' everybody down
Dogs all runnin' loose

Wrecked the papers, closed the school
Tired old judge got roughed up too
No one left to make a stand
They whisper, "What's the use?"

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

When I made this topic and posted all those songs, I put a link to the song. I don't know if you noticed. And I don't know if any of them work, but you can click them and some of them should still play.

John Fogerty is just an all around amazing musician. I can't remember which recent album it was, (After Creedence broke-up of course) but on one of his solo albums, he did the recording for ALL the instruments. Which is just amazing.....

[Man in Black]

I didn't notice Gunfighter in the post... but I'm getting old so I could have missed it

I watched a concert on Directv the other night and it was amazing! I think it was recorded in 2007. He really gives it his all.

[Jason]

I'm shocked. After all these years, I never noticed that I missed the "Revival" In the Creedence Clearwater subject.
