Although not on the same level of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan, they are in the same class as groups like The Band, The Who, The Kinks and Led Zeppelin.

Where would the grunge rock movement have been without John Fogerty's flannel shirts and crunchy guitars?
There probably would have been no grunge, or some very different verswion of it! I particularly hear alot of Creedence in Pearl Jam, which figures why they sound pretty good doing a cover version of Fortunate Son...
