It's tempting to follow the post-Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young career of Neil Young and underestimate this early band as a lighter, commercial diversion. But their fourth album, a concise retrospective of highlights, remains a sweeping '60s document, full of pastoral optimism and the virtues of (even today) spectacular-sounding harmonies. These songs continue to dominate AOR radio, and the best--the searing "Ohio" (written after the Kent State massacre), the utopian "Woodstock," and the ominous, graceful "Wooden Ships," the band's best performance--have an artful, mystical sweetness. --Roy Francis Kasten
Product Description
The early best by the vocal supergroup who emerged as the "voice of a generation" after their storied Woodstock performance. Suite: Judy Blues Eyes and the classic hits Our House; Woodstock; Ohio , and Teach Your Children join Helpless; Wooden Ships , and more!

This is a very good cd, except that deja vu is a better cd. Not to say that this one is bad at all. ALL of the Songs are AWESOME. If you don't want to listen to good 60's or 70's music than don't listen to this. David really doesn't know what he is talking about.

Nostalgic happiness. Takes one back to the early days of the band. You can almost hear the people at a festival, singing along and enjoying the day.

This, in my opinion, is probably the best CSN recording I've ever owned. How can anyone not like Suite: 'Judy Blue Eyes', or 'Helplessly hoping'? or their excellent rendition of 'Woodstock' (by far better than Joni Mitchell's melancholy original recording)? Not to mention 'Teach Your Children', and 'Our House'. These songs are poetic and artistic, rich in imagery and soothing to listen to. I believe they all flow well together, and I never tire of listening to this CD. In my opinion it's one of the all-time greatest. Give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.

Doesn't Flow
The songs don't flow well. Each song sounds like it's from a different band. I know that this a greatest hits album, but the songs should have been arranged better. Read more

So Far
This was the first CSN album I owned and it opened a door in my music library. I loved every song in this compilation and it drove me to buy more CSN albums and the box set.

A good compilation for when it was made
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young was one of the greatest classic rock bands, period. Any band the members of this band once played in (Buffalo Springfield, The Hollies, etc. Read more

Helplessly hoping for more.
"Crosby Stills and Nash (and Young)" are a case of having one collection (this one) that's too skimpy, and another one ("Carry On") that's too expensive. Read more
