Something that might have gone unnoticed with CCR is that BC , GR , WATPB and CF were released within 19 months of each other and although I firmly believe and rate Steely Dan's catalogue and string of 4 if not 5 absolute classics on the spin without a filler amongst them higher overall and these 4 from CCR do contain a number of covers which for me always detracts from the rating I would give the album its not a bad string of 4 albums particularly in such a short space of time.
I think by the time Pendulum was released artistic differences and tensions between band members was starting to take over and it was reflected in the songs albeit still some good music which didn't stop me purchasing the album back in the seventies.
No doubt John Fogerty was and has to be rated as a genius when it comes to song writing and creating an iconic sound almost unique in many respects.
There are only a few bands with 7 or more studio albums and 29 plus singles that I could hand on heart say I would rather listen to despite the passage of time if one was forced to narrow the selection.
