Lots of CCR. Mostly Green River and Willie and the Poor Boys, though pretty much the whole catalogue has been in play.
Killer band.
Indeed not liking CCR is incomprehensible.
Yes anyone who dislikes Clash City Rockers is a fool. ;)

Any list of top ten songs of the 60s that doesn't include "Fortunate Son" is, by definition, flawed. It's a better class warfare song than the efforts of thousands of punk bands that followed.
I’m so annoyed that it’s becoming the cliche song for “cut to Vietnam in a 60s period piece,” because it’s so much more than that.

And the thing is, there's nothing about it that is anti-war per se. It doesn't take issue with going to war, only who doesn't get to participate. It's a class war song, but at the same time conservative or ambiguous about American imperialism.

I was driving my kids around a very wealthy suburb yesterday while Ali worked out at home, and I swear I drove right by an enormous mansion festooned with flags and bunting RIGHT as the “wave the flag” line came up and I was FEELING it.

Great band! They were close to reforming about ten years about but substance abuse issues derailed it.

Gorillaz, The Now Now. Some good tracks on it, and definitely growing on me.

Shame as they didn't have a huge output. Still play their stuff frequently.

Have you heard Kenny Chambers solo stuff? Not quite as good as Moving Targets, but still pretty good.

No I've not heard his solo material. Sounds like I need to.

I have some of his CDs... somewhere. If I can remember to find them, I'll upload.
