What's your favorite CCR album?

Cosmo's Factory is my favorite CCR album, and also my favorite album.

Cosmo's Factory could just as easily have been called The Great American Songbook. Greatness from front to back.

Green River for me, though the first 5 are all amazing.

Literally cannot pick. So many great ones….

the hard thing with singles bands from that era

Cosmos Factory for me.

We have a Whirlpool washing machine that upon starting and finishing a load, beeps a melody that is known around here as "Genericized CCR Intro Melody".

The Samsung dryer beeps the melody from Franz Schubert's "Die Forelle" when its load is done.

Green River/Willy/Cosmo’s is a serious run of three. For those counting at home, the closing tracks on those albums are “The Night Time Is The Right Time”, “Effigy”, and “Long As I Can See The Light”. Homeboys knew how to close out a record. “Effigy” wins that fight, but Cosmo’s Factory wins the album war. I have no idea how an LP can sound so good and be so gd thin. If my A/C goes out this summer, I fully expect it to melt first.

Bayou Country has my two favorite CCR songs (Graveyard Train and Keep on Chooglin) and based on the strength of those it might take it for me.

Cosmo's, though Willy and Green River are right behind it.
