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
Album Description
One of the most enduring musical partnerships of our time, Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) are beloved worldwide for their peerless three-part harmonies, inspired songwriting, and brilliant musicianship. Rightfully claiming a singular place among the artistically and culturally influential acts of the original Woodstock era, CSN has been called "the voice of an entire generation."

 It's Deja Vu all over again September 29, 2008
If you've never heard of CSN and you want to get an idea what these guys are all about, pick this up. Granted, it doesn't have the classics with Neil Young, but that's all right. These guys rock as either a three piece or a four piece vocal band. You can enjoy some good old-fashioned folk/protest rock from one of the original bands that did that kind of music. There's a bit of everything here. I'm really too young to see these guys in their true heyday (call it '68 to early 80s), but they are still relevant 40 years after their debut album. LOL I was 5 years from being born when they released their debut. It's all good though. I'm someone who listens to almost every type of music out there and these guys just don't get old to listen to. Put this in, turn it up, and enjoy.
Awesome CD! September 17, 2008
The CSN Greatest Hits CD is a notable collection of their hits from the late 1960's -1970. Their harmonies are unmatched by any recent group. The songs are reminiscent of the times with lyrics that bring delightful images to mind.

This is a great disc. Track order is well laid out. Great music by a great group. Packaging stinks though. All cardboard, no protection for the CD.

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!
