Here are just a few songs they released in a 3 year span.
Fortunate Son.
Proud Mary.
Suzie Q.
Bad Moon Rising.
Green River.
Have You Ever Seen The Rain.
Who'll Stop The Rain.
Born On A Bayou.
Down On The Corner.
I heard It Through The Grapevine.
After the 70s breakup of CCR John Fogerty released,
Old Man Down The Road.
& Run Through The Jungle.
They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993.
In my personal opinion CCRs music stands with the best in Rock & Roll history and has influenced the music industry for over 40 years.

Thank Christ you've said this. I cannot imagine people haven't heard at least 10 songs by these guys. I suspect they have and don't know it. I just can't beleive there are so many N/A's.

I can handle "no" votes, some people don't have a fully developed frontal lobe - thats fine. But to abstain...no sin greater than silence when the world is burning.

I still have 5 votes left so.....
The Residents- Ive never heard of them before now.
Iron Maiden-Yes, I dont have alot of their songs in my collection but I have to admitt these guys are really awesome, if a heavy metal band was to be inducted then these guys are it, I never listened to them much back in the day but when I started to listen to they're music a couple of years back I realized what I had been Missing out on, one of the great metal bands if not one of the best metal bands of all time, I have to give credit to Maiden.
Jimi Hendrix-Yes, best guitarist to date and outstanding stage presence.
Mission of Burma- never heard of them.
Ludwig Van Beethoven-Yes, inspired so many other musicians through the years.

You can't vote no if you've never heard of them.......

The Residents - I'm saying no because I feel we move dangerously close to the Internet version of Rolling Stone with this selection.

Iron Maiden - No. I like what they've done, but not who they've inspired.

Jimi Hendrix - See "residents"

Creedence Clearwater Revivial - Yes but only because I think Fogerty contributed to the larger musical canon.

Mission of Burma - pornography for the paleo-hipster. No.

Ludwig Van Beethoven - I was no fan of the Nazi's...but alright, sure.

Tough crowd with no intention of abstaining I see...

Dude, I'm 19 years old. I'm not gonna vote on something I have no background with...

The Residents-Abstain, haven't heard enough to judge

Iron Maiden-Yes, seeing their influence on the metal genre

Jimi Hendrix-Yes, i really don't need to say much else.

Creedence Clearwater Revivial-yes, they're really a sleeper influence in music, and like said above, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't heard these guys

Mission of Burma-Abstain, haven't heard enough to judge

Ludwig Van Beethoven-even though i am not much of a fan of classical music i will say yes. for a guy who's been dead for centuries to be as remembered and revered as he is is no small feat and quite honestly is what the HoF is made for

Why would you vote no to a band because of who they inspired? If Lady Gaga said her favorite band was The Who, does that mean The Who are terrible...?

That makes The Who even better!!
