I've been hearing these songs since I was a kid, and have never really enjoyed their sound. I've had experiences of coming to be able to hear and appreciate the sounds of other musicians that I once categorized in the same way as CCR, namely Bob Dylan and Neil Young - dudes that I once criticized as being unlistenable, and now I really enjoy their talent a lot. But CCR is not breaking out of that mold for me on this listen to this album. Sorry brothers :/
