Rolling Stone ranked "Who'll Stop the Rain" on their list of the Greatest Songs of All Time, and it has been a favorite among fans since its initial release. The track almost topped the charts, landing at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 list and would later become certified Platinum. Written by Fogerty, the song has often had a fable story attached, with many believing its lyrics are a thinly-veiled protest song about the Vietnam War.
"Who'll Stop the Rain" has a verse talking about a group of people huddling together in the rain among a large crowd. Many believed the track was sung at the rain-soaked musical festival in 1969, with Fogerty later clearing up at a concert in 2007 the truth behind the track.
