101. 'Green River' - Creedence Clearwater Revival (1969)

In 1969, Creedence Clearwater Revival were unstoppable — and ‘Green River’ proved why. Hot off the success of ‘Bayou Country’, CCR delivered a masterclass in American rock, blending swampy grooves, bluesy riffs, and excellent storytelling. Tracks like “Bad Moon Rising” and “Green River” became instant classics, while the poignant “Lodi” showed a more reflective side of the band. Despite its short, punchy songs and straightforward style, ‘Green River’ left an enormous impact — shaping roots rock and cementing CCR’s place among the legends of that era.
