Bayou Country
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Is this the album that defined Swamp Rock? Truly great stuff. Classics like Born on the Bayou and Proud Mary and impossible to ignore. The whole album has a mesmerizing, hypnotic, nature to it, and I mean this as both a pro and a con, I think. Some of these songs really do drag on in length.

This album is great. Beetlebum and Song 2 are absolute fire. Also great hits like M.O.R. and Chinese Bombs. Looking at some of my other ratings, I don't think this reaches "perfect album" levels of greatness, but I do love this album a lot and probably listen to it just as much if not more than albums I consider "perfect."

This is the album they made it on the list? I mean , surely other Dylan albums did too, but this is an interesting album. Not Dark Yet is really the only song I am familiar with. The rest of the album is a good example of "late stage Dylan." It's good, but I wouldn't call it a must hear.
