!!Principal Members:
* Doug Clifford: drums
* Stu Cook: bass
* John Fogerty: vocals, guitars, piano, keyboards, harmonica
* Tom Fogerty: rhythm guitar
----
!!I see a bad trope rising:
* AlbumTitleDrop: "Green River", which naturally starts the album off.
* CoverVersion: "The Night Time Is the Right Time" for Nappy Brown as popularly performed by Music/RayCharles.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The basis of "Bad Moon Rising", where said moon leads to cataclysmic hurricanes.
* LyricalDissonance:
** "Bad Moon Rising" is a catchy little tune... about the end of the world.
** Similarly, "Lodi" is pretty catchy for a song about a dirt-poor musician who has to resort to playing bars in a small town just for the hope of getting enough money to catch a train back home.
* RockstarSong: "Lodi" subverts it in that the main character is an up and coming rock singer who was told he was "on his way" by a man from a magazine. He took a gig out in Lodi, intending to just stay there for one night and move on, but his career stalled out after that and he ended up stuck in town, playing in dive bars just for the hope of making enough money to get a train ticket home. In other words, a wannabe Rockstar Song.
* AStormIsComing: The "Bad Moon Rising" is a foreboding sign of cataclysmic hurricanes.
