Hills I will gladly die on:
CCR = poor man's The Band
John Mellencamp = poor man's Springsteen
Stone Temple Pilots = poor man's Pearl Jam
Lenny Kravitz = poor man's whichever act he's ripping off on this particular album (Hendrix, Led Zep, etc.)

'Zackly!
This thread ... lots of pining over long-gone youth. I started buying 'records' for myself in '62, age 11, with Bob Dylan's self-titled first album. The other two standouts in memory for me: Meet the Beatles, 1964 (we got the Brit. Parlophone issue up here), and the Mothers' Freak Out ('66).

Much as I love The Band, this is quite silly. Fogerty wrote as many great songs as just about anybody.
Just "Favorite Son" by itself is enough to take him out of any "poor man's" category, and I defy you to come up with anything The Band did that sounded like that.

Fogerty weren't no Mose Allison (whole 'nother thing, I know, but still and yet ...), but he was a damn fine rockabilly songwriter, imo.

Everyone is entitled to their taste and just remember that everyone has a band that they can't stand. CCR is that band for me. It is personal taste. I just do not like them. I like Dylan, The Byrds, The Small Faces, Humble Pie, and lots of classic bands.
I like Rush and U2 and Depeche Mode also and my friend HATES those bands.........so it is all just taste and nothing personal.

Me? Some faves, in no particular order: Beatles; Who; Mothers/Zappa; Squeeze; Dire Straits/Knopfler; Elvis Costello (early, w/Attractions); Cars; Cream/Clapton; AC/DC; Dylan; Jethro Tull (early stuff); Prince; Four Tops; Smokey Robinson; Aretha; Mose Allison; Dexter Gordon; Art Pepper; Stan Rogers ... eclectic as hell ... you get the picture!

I'd call Rush the poor man's stomach pump, btw. Bleccccccchhh! Great records to put on to chase away house guests.

Taste is funny, innit? I adore Dylan, the Byrds, but can't stand U2 -- Bono, in particular. Rush? I know they're Canajun, but ... meh. Each to their own, says I.

Some faves, in no particular order: Beatles; Who; Mothers/Zappa; Squeeze; Dire Straits/Knopfler; Elvis Costello (early, w/Attractions); Cars; Cream/Clapton; AC/DC; Dylan; Jethro Tull (early stuff); Prince; Four Tops; Smokey Robinson; Aretha; Mose Allison; Dexter Gordon; Art Pepper; Stan Rogers ... eclectic as hell ... you get the picture!

Rush....the band that has die hard fans and then those that hate them. I like Rush and respect their musicianship and integrity and just like the music.
U2....another band people love to hate.....but I like um ....can see why Bono is viewed as annoying and pretentious though......Although I have to say, he has done a lot of humanitarian work and I wish I could do one thousandth of what he has done in that area. Think Bono is worthy of respect on that note....regardless if you hate his personality and music.
Bono is thinking "This could end painfully."

I regret the wisecrack about Rush, and will refrain from such from here on.

Sure no problem...it is a deal. By the way I had no problem with your wisecrack at all. I think it is great when people can tolerate each others different opinions and not be too sensitive. This society is getting so politically correct that it is getting to the point where it infringes on freedom of speech. We should all just relax a little and enjoy open minded communication. And thanks for the kind words on my picture selection.
Oh, and Dexter Gordon ( https://www.jazzwax.com/2018/11/dext...ive-63-77.html )

Rita Hayworth sang "Put the Blame on Mame", so I think this qualifies:
