And Chronicle doesn't have "Wrote A Song For Everyone," "Midnight Special" or "Cotton Fields" on it, so clearly more Creedence is needed than that.

Chronicle Vol. 2 does though...

Another point. CCR had so many good tunes on their album that there are two Chronicle volumes each with 20 songs, but there's only 65 songs on the albums listed here. So about 2 out of every 3 Creedence songs are on their greatest hits collection. Very few artists have that high of a percentage of solid work.

I was just about to make this same point as well.

For clarification, Chronicle Vol. 1 is their only "Greatest Hits" album. Vol. 2 is labeled as "Classics" and is really only a companion to Vol. 1. I bring this point up only because the songs on Vol. 1 are waaay better than those on Vol. 2.

Sorry, I will stop being a nit now.

Well, let's battle then! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I'M RIGHT!
BOYAKASHAH!

Seriously, explain yrself. I find that the more "genre-bending" that's done in pop-music, the crappier the band...until you get some funky-jazzy-hiphop-metal-buckethead-jacopastorious-billfirth-weatherreport-doodoo.

The few genre experiments that do suceed, like say, "Check Your Head" are much rarer than then the failures like, say, the Bossanova songs on Hello Nasty.

Greatness in modern music consists of cornering the market on one particular sound...finding a unique voice that exists outside of labels (Portishead is my favorite example)...OR just playing straight-out Garagey RockandRollah.
