When David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash created this pop super trio in 1968 after their splits from the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Hollies, respectively, it would have been a pipedream that a hits package released 37 years later would sound as eternal and essential as this one. The 19 songs straddle the four-album, landscape-altered timeframe between 1969's post-Woodstock debut Crosby, Stills & Nash and 1982's Daylight Again, which helped inaugurate the MTV era. Unbalanced sequencing--which randomly bounces 12 years ahead and five years back--is rescued by the superb harmonies, unique songwriting and divergent personalities of the three members. With politics and culture always at the forefront, Stills bookends the band's trademark canon with "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Southern Cross," Nash incorporates Eastern influences to "Marrakesh Express" and folk timber to "Just a Song Before I Go" and "Teach Your Children," and the ever-capricious Crosby leads the way lyrically with the lingering "Delta" to the Robert Kennedy tribute "Long Time Gone." Sure, the collection is missing any songs by ("Ohio") or contributions from ("Woodstock") the fourth name on the marquee (Neil Young). Here's hoping that's for another Greatest Hits. --Scott Holter

Summary: If you have room for only one CSN Cd..THIS IS THE ONE!! 2008-07-05
Comment: I've owned every one of their CD's and enjoyed them all with the exception of the live 4-Way Street. This CD features all the cuts from all their great albums. Marrakesh Express, Suite:Judy Blue Eyes, Helplessly Hoping, Just a Song Before I Go, Our House, Teach Your Children..well..you get the idea. All these songs are my favorite CSN songs of all time and bring back some poignant memories. I like it because you don't have to bring 4 or 5 CDs out to hear all your favorite songs by this heavenly vocal group. As usual, Rhino's sound is superb and the extra full-color book features many pics, recording pesonnel and dates. If you only have room for one CSN CD...this has got to be the one. Outstanding!

Summary: The Greatest Hits by Stills & Nash Crosby - just great! 2008-05-27
Comment: Bought this for my husband. We're in that certain age group that enjoys this kind of Classic Rock. It never goes out of style - as far as we're concerned. He put it on his iPod so he can enjoy it while he's working outside. Just good classic rock!
