Probably Down on the Corner. I love CCR. Grew up listening to them as a kid with my parents. They trigger happy memories of my single digit ages.
I saw Fogerty in St. Augustine in 2014 or so. He played with Mumford and Sons and the house band, CCR songs. Complete surprise, he came in as a favor to someone when another headliner cancelled.
That was one of the greatest days of my life.

Tough one. I'm going to wuss out and say it is a 3 way tie between:
"Who Will Stop The Rain." "Someday Never Comes" and "Looking out my back door"

One of my favorites was Ramble Tamble off their Cosmo's Factory album. Green River is another favorite, along with I Put A Spell On You .

Fortunate Son is my favorite, a fantastic song. Great riffs, great lyrics, extremely well written song. CCR was not an album-oriented band, purely singles. But God, those singles were awesome songs.
Lodi is my my next favorite.

Fortunate Son!
I saw them twice live and later Fogerty alone all were great shows.

I enjoy them all more or less equally. Maybe a slight nod to the Grapevine cover. Or Fortunate Son. Or maybe Born on the Bayou. Or...

Originally posted by YellowJacket: I think Lodi is their best-written song, lyrically. It is more a folksy, americana kind of song, not as riff driven.
As far as just straight rocker, I dig Born on the Bayou most. Fogerty's vocals on BotB are just otherwordly.
Lodi
Just about a year ago I set out on the road Seekin' my fame and fortune Lookin' for a pot of gold Thing got bad things got worse I guess you will know the tune Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
I rode in on the Greyhound I'll be walkin' out if I go I was just passin' through Must be seven seven months or more Ran out of time and money Looks like they took my friends Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
The man from the magazine Said I was on my way Somewhere I lost connections Ran out of songs to play I came into town, a one night stand Looks like my plans fell through Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
If I only had a dollar For ev'ry song I've sung And ev'ry time I had to play While people sat there drunk You know, I'd catch the next train Back to where I live Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
