Reply to comment by TheGillos in TIL Creedence Clearwater Revival was only active for four years (1968-1972), with seven studio albums. They still hold the record for most singles (nine) to reach the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 without ever scoring a #1. by Torley_

They also literally destroyed all the bad music. There were a thousand records from shitty bands that were not preserved so it looks better in retrospect

Hey! You're saying this Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit isn't better that everything from CCR?

I had no idea this was an actual song. My dad taught it to me and I used to sing it with the neighborhood kids, but never heard an actual recorded version. Super interesting!

If you told me that was one guy doing all the instruments alone at 2PM on a Tuesday, I would have believed you

I was a pre-teen and deeply moved when first hearing the opening guitar chords of “who’ll stop the rain”. Maybe many others felt the same way: a rite of passage. Perhaps the producer/mixer deserves all the credit.
