Reply to comment by groggyMPLS in TIL Creedence Clearwater Revival was only active for four years (1968-1972), with seven studio albums. They still hold the record for most singles (nine) to reach the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 without ever scoring a #1. by Torley_
Their last album, where the other members insisted on writing and recording songs, pretty much shows that... John was 99.9999% responsible for their success. :)
I've read where he said he also did a lot of the drum fills on the songs.

Cosmo was a pretty competent drummer I feel, John must have just needed to scratch that itch of being in control of the work.

He was. I was surprised when I read that bit.
