Crosby, Stills & Nash

Judy Blue Eyes is a classic, but so much of the rest of this album is pretty sleepy.

It’s all downhill from Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. That’s not to say the rest of the album is bad, it’s just how do you top Suite? It’s far and away the strongest song on the album. The rest of the album has some solid tunes and amazing harmonies! Marakesh Express is a lot of fun. There are some duds on here, but even on those the harmonies are great.

I don't know what to say about this one. People will swear it's "a classic" but I'm not really sure I agree. There are a couple decent songs on here, Judy Blue Eyes of course, but I feel like the reason this album is beloved now is purely nostalgia. Great harmonies throughout, but if the strong point of the record is good harmonies that's not really high praise. The music was certainly better when Neil Young joined, regardless of him actually breaking up the band. Someone else said that CS&N was better with Neil Young and Neil Young was better on his own, and you can't really argue with that.

In the end I feel like there were loads of albums that sounded just like this in the late 60s/early 70s and this one doesn't really have anything that makes it stand out. 2.5 out of 5 but rounding up because of the 10/10 David Crosby moustache on the cover.

Enjoyable in the background, but I'm not entirely into it. kinda meh, 2*.

Although I don’t love every song, I just love *them* so much. Beautiful voices, beautiful songs, beautiful music.

4/5

Kwalitatief uitstekend. Maar poeffff, wat is dit een saaie plaat. En dan staat er ook nog dat verschrikkelijke Beatles-achtige Marrakesh Expres op.

Ondanks dat de heren prima kunnen zingen, luister ik vooral naar de muzikale begeleiding. Doe mij bijvoorbeeld toch maar een instrumentale versie van Wooden Ships.

Yep solid folk rock album, worth a listen

The harmonies of my youth. How the fuck does someone come up with Suite: Judy Blue Eyes?!? CSN drip with talent.

Illimitable, iconic vocal harmonies beckoning us back to a time of musical revolution, taking the public ear from 60s blues rock into a new decade of singer/songwriters. By the way, comparing your “m’lady” to Guinevere isn’t a good thing. If she’s also drawing pentagrams on your walls, run. Leave her before she leaves you for a guy who picks oranges just as well as he picks a guitar.

Enjoyed this much more than the Byrds albums. I do think Crosby is overrepresented on this list, but this album (and If I Could Only Remember My Name) definitely deserve a place on the list.

Hugely influential and for good reason. This album really set the stage for music of the 70s. On its own it's a really great release too. Lovely harmonies and guitar playing. My biggest complaint is the absolutely abysmal stereo panning.

Oh and fuck David Crosby.

A few all time great folk songs on here. You can tell bands like early Fleet Foxes drew heavily from this

Weirdly, I had Helplessly Hoping running through my head this morning, and then it turns up here. It's so good! I love the way that this album takes the infectious pop of The Byrds and adds a dash of cynical folk rock to the mix.

RIP Dave, too many people dying at the moment. Great harmonies, some excellent songs - really enjoyed this. 4.5

Lots of great harmonies. A nice and pleasant album to listen to.

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes is fun! generally a pleasant album, kind of forgettable.

The album makes me think of laidback summer weekend afternoons. I appreciate the craftsmanship that they put into the harmonies and it's remarkable how they come across as one voice.

All that said though, it's not really my cup of tea and I doubt I'll be revisiting the album for my personal enjoyment.

Tengo que escuchar más de ellos y a este disco volveré más de una vez. Me han gustado muchas canciones y el disco en general. Favoritas: Suite: Judy blue eyes, Marrakesh express, Pre-Road downs, Lady of the island, Helplessly hoping, 49 bye-byes y Everybody's talkin'. Un 5 estrellas *****.

very good, but deja vu takes everything this album does well and does it like twice as good

hey nash
