Okay, I think there's enough of an age gap between me and some of you that I can rationalize pushing shit on you. Five words: Buy albums, read liner notes. Exhibit A: For those of you who have no more than a greatest hits package of Creedence, if even that, listen up. Buy a fucking long player. Because the only way to hear Creedence is in the context of a never intended as a hit type song in the middle, or end, of a side. You won't get a "Graveyard Train" or "Penthouse Pauper" on a greatest hits package, but they're on the same album, along with a cover of "Good Golly Miss Molly". Kind of unbelievable that these are on the same LP as fucking "Proud Mary", one of the only two songs from their Bayou Country LP that will show on your compact little compilation (the other, "Born On the Bayou"). Now. Buy albums, read liner notes.

It really is amazing how little filler was on those Creedence albums, especially when you realize how quickly they cranked them out. Three albums released in '69 and two in '70. I love it all -- the hit singles and the deep album tracks.
