Proud Mary - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Both Great songs, but for my riverboat music, nothing beats out CCR!

I voted for CCR, but my real choice would be Ike and Tina's version of "Proud Mary."

Proud Mary -- Creedence Clearwater Revival, with thanks for not making me listen to that riverboat number by Ocean Colour Scene.

Both great songs. I voted CCR.

Looks like I'm the lone vote for Mountain. I knew I'd get at least somebody mentioning the Ike and Tina Turner version of Proud Mary but half the appeal of that is visual (watching Tina shake and shimmy) so I had to leave it to the original version.

Funny, I thought Ike and Tina's was the original version.

The first version I ever heard was by the Osmond brothers. Then I saw the Ike and Tina version on an old show called "The Music Scene". As an impressionable preteen; watching Tina Turner move like that, with those legs, will always mean the Ike and Tina version must always be visual for me.

Then I learned it was a John Fogerty song.

Two of my favorite-est songs from my early years! Leslie West may be one of the best guitarist that ever played. Frankly, Mississippi Queen is nowhere near my favorite Mountain song, but its still outstanding!

A vote for Mountain and Mississippi Queen.

I always had a soft spot for

That probably is my favorite Mountain song, for sure in the top 3. Its in my iPod! Thanks for the chance to listen one more time!!!

Mountain surely is one of my favorite groups.
