So I finally decided to get all 6 albums of Creedence. That is to say all the albums which featured all 4 members. I did not buy [I]Mardi Gras[/I]. I have heard the songs from that album however.

So after a couple of days enjoying the albums, here's my ranking:

1. [B]Bayou Country[/B] - Man, this is my kind of album! [I]Born on the Bayou[/I] and [I]Proud Mary[/I] would be good enough for any album, but [I]Bootleg[/I] and [I]Keep On Chooglin'[/I] are a couple of my favorites as well. I even like [I]Graveyard Train[/I] (which I know of few of us on this site do not). To me [I]Good Golly Miss Molly[/I] is the weakest song on the album...and when a Little Richard classic is your weakest song, THAT'S one heck of an album!

2. [B]Cosmo's Factory[/B] - Factory is right! This album cranked out so many hits it's almost ridiculous. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. How can you deny an album that opens with [I]Ramble Tamble[/I]?

3. [B]Green River[/B] - The title track, [I]Commotion[/I], [I]Cross Tie Walker[/I], [I]Tombstone Shadow[/I] and (of course) [I]Bad Moon Rising[/I] are too darn good!

4. [B]Willy and the Poor Boys[/B] - Frankly, this could have been a tie with Green River in my book, so many great songs again. On another day, this album might be my number 3!

5 & 6! Jeez, this is more difficult than I thought it would be. I kinda figured the first album, [I]Creedence Clearwater Revival[/I], would be weak because they were just starting out with their new sound. I was pleasantly surprised, however. It's better than I thought. Definitely a good start. And I can't say there's a song on it I wouldn't listen to again. [B]Pendulum[/B], on the other hand, has 2 songs I can survive without hearing again.

This is tough, but:

5. [B]Pendulum[/B] - The only reason I've ranked is ever-so-slightly ahead is because the songs that do work for me on the album REALLY work! [I]Have You Ever Seen the Rain[/I], [I]Pagan Baby[/I] and [I]Hey Tonight[/I] are classics and [I]Born to Move[/I] is fun. [I](Wish I Could) Hideaway[/I] is oddly poignant. And while [I]Sailor's Lament[/I] is a decidedly different sound from Creedence, it sure is pleasant to my ears. Only the blah [I]Chameleon[/I] and the peculiar [I]Rude Awakening #2[/I] pull the album back down to ground level.

6. [B]Creedence Clearwater Revival[/B] - Not really a bad song on this album. Yet not as many classics as on their other albums. The songs that can be considered classics are their covers of [I]I Put a Spell On You[/I] and [I]Suzie Q[/I]. Though I do like [I]Porterville[/I] a lot, and the rest of the songs are highly enjoyable. This is the album of a band finding it's identity.

7. [B]Mardi Gras[/B] - For obvious reasons. But I sure do love that [B]Sweet Hitch Hiker[/B]! ;)

Truthfully, I'd have to say the top four are ranked by the [I]slimmest [/I]of margins. They certainly get 5-stars from me!
