Yeah, they seem like a band that’s properly rated. They had a bunch of pop hits, their songs have been used in a ton of movies and TV shows. I mean, they’re one of those bands whose music is synonymous with the 60s. Maybe the one thing that hurt them is John Fogerty has had a lowish profile and he went years without playing Creedence songs because of a pissing match he had with their manager.

I thought it was a legal issue. Didn't he have some now-fabled testimony about only knowing how to sound like John Fogerty, ergo he couldn't be infringing on his own copyright?

That was a lot of beer and bong rips ago...could have that all wrong.

It wasn't a pissing match. That a-hole was every bit as bad as Allen Klein. Fogerty fought the good fight.

it was the label owner, not manager

And while Fogerty is not perfect (he passed up a deal that would have made CCR $50M bc it didn't include his publishing rights) it was still a terrible record contract -- maybe the worst ever for a major act
