Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 84.0/100, a mean average of 82.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Stop complaining that it's "just a compilation." They are viable as introductions to people who are new to the music. Some bands just work better with singles either because they had no choice (Hank Williams, etc.) or because they never quite go the album down as well as the single (CCR). Should those artists not be recognized because the album format is "better" than a collection of singles? Bah!

This album is part of my personal top 100 because I can't do this band the credit it deserves if I don't put a Greatest Hits in my top A00. You can check out my other top 100 albums (with additional comments) as well.
All the songs on this album are marvelous and are a fantastic blend of the superb voice of John Fogerty and some great guitar playing and song writing.
"I Put a Spell on You" is still one of the best version amongst the variety of versions around and also songs like "Up Around the Bend" and "Who'll Stop the Rain" are outstanding.

Chronicle is easily the best CCR compilation. Not a drop of filler or a lesser track anywhere.

"Lodi" is my most favorite..a great collection
Long the standard CCR compilation, it features all the big hits. Not a weak track in the bunch, many are certified rock classics. The companion, Vol. 2, is loaded with fantastic album selections. There's still no substitute, although both volumes are in need of remastering.
