It’s hard to believe CCR did not come from the bayou. They are a classic roots rock band that incorporated a series of influences thus creating their own sound. While others in San Francisco went flower power and psychedelic, CCR went their own way. They gained attention in the alternative press and eventually broke. They produced several rock classics before internal strife broke them apart. Had they survived, they’d be much higher in the countdown.
