Green River

CCR were at the height of their powers in 1969, Green River being the second of three LPs the band would release that year. Having found their sound on Bayou Country, Fogerty and crew fully step into their own with this release, which features the timeless singles "Bad Moon Rising," "Lodi," and of course the title track. Willy and the Poor Boys would soon follow, keeping up the band's ferocious pace, but if you had to pick just one CCR album, this should be it.
