Underappreciated is a better word than I used, but it wouldn’t fit in the title box.
Never heard of it.:rolleyes:
It’s for sure loaded with great songs.
And I like the cover, too.
The original LP cover, with the textured paper, gold print, and glued-on sepia-tone photo, was very cool indeed. Didn’t take well to rubbing up against other albums in a collection, though.
Apparently, neither did the actual album title.
Crosby, Stills, & Nash is a perfect album and gets more awesome with age. Déjà Vu, though I once liked it better, has not held up over the years. I’d put it third after CSN.
I prefer that great anthem of the foot massage industry Rub 'Er Sole
IMHO, it’s an uneven album. “Carry On” and “Helpless” are great songs. I don’t think the Graham Nash songs (“Teach Your Children” and “Our House”) have held up that well over time, though they’re still OK. If “Almost Cut My Hair” or “Everybody I Love You” hadn’t been on the album, would anyone have missed them? The other songs are OK but not great, with Neil Young’s “Country Girl” medley being the best of them.
Hell, on all three of their original albums, they only managed one solid side of really good songs: side 2 of 4-Way Street. Fortunately, their good stuff was very good indeed.
But I thought I’d already begged for forgiveness, no?:mad:
The album held up fine, it was something else that deteriorated.
I think the album is about as much of a masterpiece as an album can get and, if I’m not mistaken, I think the brilliant, beautiful and talented Joni Mitchell had a lot to do with it being so good (if not from direct input, then at least inspiration, as she was romantically pursued by some of the dudes in the group).
Oh boy, this isn’t my day. I just clicked into the link I provided earlier and discovered to my horror that it’s not the whole album after all. Due to copy-rights a bunch of songs have been deleted, sorry about that, people.
With Joni Mitchell (Nash) and Judy Collins (Stills) providing both inspiration and collaboration, it’s not surprise that was some sublime music.
The hell are you talking about?
I often mistakenly refer to Grahamna Sh as Grahampa Rker.
mmm
Your taste in music, sir.:rolleyes:
As long as you don’t refer to him as Grahamcra Cker.
A masterpiece. I have it on vinyl and put it on the turntable and let it take me away, away. Loved it from the day I bought it unto this very day. Carry On!
A most excellent cover. I have a concert tape of them from those days, and some drunk/high girl can be heard yelling, “Where’s Taylor and Reeves?!”
The 1975 album, called just CSN (and IIRC was a photograph sticker of them on Crosby’s boat) is, to me, their masterpiece. I’ve seen them live like 30 times, and always like when they play something off of that album.
Like Neil Young lamented; vinyl is just richer, deeper and better than music off CDs. (Not his exact words, but pretty close.:D)
