You missed "The Hour of Not Quite Rain," then?


I may have. I did say almost every time.

Listening to the album box -

Buffalo Springfield > Crosby, Stills and Nash (but barely)
Buffalo Springfiled Again >> Deja Vu (which is high praise as Deja Vu is my favorite album from CSN(Y)
Last time Around >> Any other CSN(Y) album you want to name

Yep, Springfield's better.

The thing about those triple albums Matt, they could be culled to much better single albums simply by removing all the songs not by Neil Young on them.

You can say the same thing about Beatles albums by removing the George and Ringo songs.

a) No you can't.
b) There's nowhere near as many of them.

Hey, the album I made is great. If you have a problem with Crosby and Nash, then you wouldn't like it. Simple as that.

I have a problem with Stills too by then. Actually, I might even say Crosby's second-best by then.

I don't have a quibble with your selections - I just think the exercise is limited by the gap in their relative talents.

Concur. CN&Y needed a Furay (Nash probably being the intended analog).

Since it seems to be the Crosby and Nash songs which draw the most ire on the LP I made, let me further stir the pot by saying that the albums I chose those songs from (Songs for Beginners & If I Could Only Remember My Name) are both better than ANY George Harrison LP save All Things Must Pass.

You're not stirring ANYTHING by saying that. You're no rebel. You're the most conventional music fan we have here.

Not exactly high standards, mind.

Although I might take a few of George's over Nash's.

'Party Seacombe' beats everything Nash and Crosby ever wrote.

But you know that already
