2. Green River, an awesome Seattle-based band in the mid-80s, arguably the inventors of grunge. Singer Mark Arm and guitarist Steve Turner later formed Mudhoney, and everyone else except the drummer later formed Mother Love Bone. Today,

3. An album by Creedence Clearwater Revival, their second release of 1969. A great record with many good songs, including the title track.
