I always loved the album from back in the day and thought it never got enough credit. Anyone else feel the same? ---

> [@Dibbs](#): > > You’re right, but you’re also nitpicking.😛 De Javu? Really? And you think correcting that is nitpicking? Whatever. That said, the album consistently ranks in the top one or two hundred of all time in various polls. I don’t see how that can be called underrated by any reasonable definition. ---

I don’t see how that can be called underrated by any reasonable definition. Okay. I now see that I mangled the spelling. I thought he was getting on my case for not having those weird thingys over the letters. My bad. ---

I’ve loved it since it came out (with a gap of a couple of decades when I never heard it) so it’s not underrated by me, at least! ---

Tell me you’re joking Dibbs.If you asked some random guy on the street to name a CSN&Y song there’s a 90% chance the song they name will be on this album. ---

It’s great, but it’s not underrated. ---

> [@CarnalK](#): > > Tell me you’re joking Dibbs.If you asked some random guy on the street to name a CSN&Y song there’s a 90% chance the song they name will be on this album. Exactly. In my younger days, I thought that it was actually a greatest hits compilation. ---

It’s not as good an album as _Ab Erode_. ---

Excellent and well-appreciated music then, and the same now. I think it gets ‘lost’ for a while and rediscovered again, but I wouldn’t say its underappreciated. ---

> [@stillownedbysetters](#): > > Excellent and well-appreciated music then, and the same now. I think it gets ‘lost’ for a while and rediscovered again, but I wouldn’t say its underappreciated. Exactly. It certainly wasn’t underappreciated when it came out. The collaboration with Neil Young, the genre-fusing blend of music, three hit singles, hitting #1 on the album chart, even the unusual billing of Dallas Taylor and Greg Reeves. There was a lot to talk about, and it was all discussed. I’ve noticed that CS&N (and sometimes Y) have gone in and out of fashion over the years, but respect for their music has remained consistent. ---

For people of an age, that’s an easy one. Except I initially said George instead of Greg. :smack: ---

I’m glad my post generated a little interest. To many way of thinking this album should be in everyone’s top twenty (with Sgt. Pepper’s at #1, of course). Here it is in its entirety, should you care to take a listen: [Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Woodstock - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sH0uR2u7Hs&list=PLysgFgFNFAceB8XoFIYCTBq-eAM5kjag_) ---
