CCR...what does it mean to you??

[Ranger Mom]

Just wondering

[Old Tiger]

I know both but now days it's Cross Canadian Ragweed

[Maroon87]

If Sinton66 is posting it then I know it's Creedence.

[carter08]

I used to have to read furthur to decide

but now I automatically think Ragweed until proven wrong

although i know my ccr songs from my ccr songs

[injuredinmelee]

i think they all need haircuts and neither is country.

No, they were rock/blues, but did a few old country tunes like "Cotton Fields" and a couple of originals written by John Fogerty like "Looking out my back door", "Long as I can see the light", and "Lookin for a reason".

"CCR" will forever be Creedance Clearwater Revival. Anybody else who comes along and uses that acronym is a pretender and is only fooling themselves.;)

Crazy Eddies is a Reckless Kelly song, but they did cover it on the Billy Bob's record. So, I guess you get credit

[loboes86]

Sorry I,m an old fart to. It's Creedence to me to. When I asked my son he said cross canadian. Amazing what 25 years will do for ya.

[sinton66]

CCR broke up when John Fogerty bailed. Ragweed couldn't hold their jock... stop calling them CCR.

LMAO! That's a good one Russ.:D

[bhtrainer]

Cody Canada from cross canadian ragweed is my alltime favorite... their stuff is soo good and he plays the guitar amazing

[JR2004]

Memories of getting drunk in high school at parties and the music of choice for road trips is what it means to me. Just great music!

Mixed that in with a bit of Aerosmith, Black Sabbath and the Steve Miller Band to go along with some White Zombie, Nirvana and Pantera to balance everything out. :)

[olddawggreen]

There is only one true CCR, Creedence Clearwater Revival, all others are just poser copy cat wanna be's:eek: :D

[dogdad]

after Creedence shut it down, Fogarty made an album called "The Blue Ridge Rangers" and sang old Hank Williams songs......so he does have some country in him
as for me.......I'm lookin' out my back door....and I see a bad moon rising......but I am a fortunate son........and I'm a cross-tie walker, Suzy-Q

they are not ragheads and they are way more amazin then the other CCR...i have to listen to that crap with my parents...i would much rather listen to ragweed

[sinton66]

When Ragweed manages to sell more than five double platinum albums, then maybe they can be considered among "the best". Until then, there is only one true CCR. John Fogerty is over 60 now, and can still rock the house with the best of them. The show he did last year at the Houston Rodeo was one of the best I have ever seen him do. He is a true master of his craft. If you want to hear "the best" find yourself a copy of Fogerty's "The Long Road Home".

Doug Clifford and Stu Cook formed "CCR Revisited" and they aren't too bad either.

You are like 16-17 and calling them the best band of all time??? Now I don't care who ya are that's funny right there. I'm not going to call CCR, that's Creedence Clearwater Revival for you younger folks, the greatest band of all time, but they are definitely a lot higher up on that list than the Captain Cruch Revolution.

Well, IMO, I'd have to give the title of Best Band Ever to The Beatles. Best Guitarist is a hard one but I'm thinking Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton. Best drummer is even harder but I've always enjoyed Lars Ulrich. Your country boys just don't compare. Sorry.

I only said Lars because I'm a Metallica fan, but in all honesty it really is freakin hard, at least for me, to pick just one drummer. It's not as easy as picking a guitarist.

Better than the Beatles: Eric Burden and the Animals.
Best guitarist : probably Jeff Beck. Second best Fogerty. Hendrix was a hack on guitar.
Best Drummer : Doug Clifford or Ginger Baker(Cream).

For SURE, Creedance was the best AMERICAN band ever (and the most successful).

Your good ole boys probably wouldn't be around if it wasn't for The Beatles and what they've done for music. Until best band ever can even accomplish half of what The Beatles of done, than this conversation is over.

Creedence Clearwater Revival is CCR. Any else who claims this name is just trying to cash in on a real bands fame and accomplishments.

[sinton66]

Excuse me? You know of any American band (not solo artists such as Elvis, etc.)that's sold more records than Creedance? And, I had Fogerty listed as second best, Jeff Beck was first.

Fogerty, however, is more talented in that he plays nine different instruments.

[espn1]

CCR is awesome! But in my opinion It would have been Lynard Skynard if God wouldn't have had other plans.

[Ranger Mom]

This thread has kind of gone off on a different direction, but my point has been made...


CCR IS Creedence Clearwater Revival to the majority of folks.

In that case you think "Cody Canada" when you hear Ragweed, right? :D

One of my all-time favorite bands is a band that's in the same genre as Ragweed. Technically, they're known as "red dirt music." They used to be a great band. Drew tons of fans, were one of the big things in the Texas scene. As big as Roger Creager back then. Bigger, at the time, than Ragweed. Then their lead singer, a big-time druggee named Mike McClure, bailed on them.

They still play and they still draw a crowd up north, but they're not anything close to what they used to be.

Unless we're talking about Van Halen, the lead singer's always the band.

???? beatles, stones, bon jovi, union station (bluegrass), little texas (country)


i can name more bands where the lead singer isnt responsible for everything if u want me to

both, but I usually refer to Cross Canadian Ragweed as "Cross"

They are. Union Station is a non-vocal band (although since the late-80's they've come to be known as "ALLISON KRAUSS and Union Station") and Little Texas pretty much died after Rushlow (lead singer) and Seals took off.

You're right about the Beatles, but go on with a few more examples.

Good call on ZZ Top and The Eagles. Don't know much if anything about the Grascals (or are you trying to say the Rascals... may just be a misspell... either way, don't know much about them) or Rush.

[bhtrainer]

i still think Ragweed is the real CCR...

[Gobbla2001]

to me it doesn't mean Revival anymore, doesn't mean Ragweed, doesn't mean both and doesn't mean nothing, what it means to me is that a younger generation (in which I happen to be a part of) doesn't have respect for a band that has not only left it's mark in music, but that has inspired many to play music...

Nothing against Ragweed, but if they could hold a candle up to Revival (CCR), it'd be blown out by the A-Minor first strummed in "Have you ever seen the rain"...

Not the biggest CCR (Revival, it's sad I have to even explain) fan of all time, but if I could chose what EVERYONE views "CCR" as it'd be Revival...

[Gobbla2001]

I'm a day late and a dollar short on this thread, but it is funny you posted this thread yesterday (funnier if it were today) because this day in 1945 the bass player and drummer for CCR were born...

Revival that is...

[sinton66]

Doug Clifford (drummer) was indeed born on April 24. Stu Cook (Bass player) was born on the 25th.

but you know what makes me even more sick? robbing someone else's originality...

I'm not sure as to whether or not Revival said "hey fans, shorten it to CCR it's catchier" back in the day or not, but either way that's THEIR deal... I can understand a band having people call them that and saying "okay okay, we appreciate it but that's their name, not our's", but going along with it is just as chicken-@#$% as suggesting people use it...

how about this poll:

"How popular would cROSS cANADIAN rAGWEED be without CCR?"
