It could easily be seen as a cash grab by Atlantic Records
July 29, 2014
This is a hard one to figure out. It could easily be seen as a cash grab by Atlantic Records. On the other hand its nice to have all these great songs in one place. The real mystery is song selection. CSN has been together for about 45 Years, with a grand total of five studio albums of which only three albums were used for this greatest hits album, they also used a couple of cuts off of Deja Vu, a CSNY album, I guess Neil Young had no contributions to the songs selected. With so few good albums to work with it just barely has enough to cover a single greatest hits album. All but two songs are to me true classics but 49 bye-byes and In My Dreams don't belong on any greatest hits album. They easily could have used 4+20 or maybe War Games off of Allies,an out of print mostly live album or You Don't Have To Cry or even Camera off of After the Storm not exactly a classic but it would have given the album more of a updated and varied feel to it or even left those two songs off completely. Oh well, its still a great album all the great CSN songs are on it. Looking forward to CSNY Greatest Hits.

Poor sound quality
August 7, 2018
The sound quality of this cd is terrible. I played it on my Bose system which can make almost anything sound good but could barely make this cd play anywhere near the original sounds of CSN. I may have gotten a lemon. Not worth the money I payed for it.

I really like this music and have been a fan of CSN forever. The selection of songs are just fine, the problem is that this particular cd remastering sound dull and muddy especially the first half of the cd. I actually thought there was something wrong with my with my moderately expensive sound system. I played my other CSN cds (deja vu for example) which the same songs sounded much clearer and vibrent. This issue for me really takes away the enjoyment of owning this cd.

Most of the CSN hits were on the CD. Of course, everyone complains about some song that they would have liked to be on the album, and I would have liked 4+20. But, well... Sound quality was generally good, although some of the tracks were not as well presented as others. All told, an enjoyable CD.

What can I say? Crosby Stills Nash are one of the greatest bands from the 60s and 70s, and onward.

Usually when you buy a greatest hits CD, most of the songs are hits and a few are thrown in that makes the listener wonder what they were thinking when they compiled the album. This is not the case with this CD. Every song on it I would have chosen for this CD. Sure, with CSN, you could easily make a box set of greatest hits, yet this CD manages to capture them at their best. Not one song is out of place or obscure. I am very happy with it.

Great CD, listening to these songs have bought back many fond memories

I only have their CSN album from the late '70s; and it is easily one of my best vinyl albums. For some reaons, I did not go back and discovered more of their older music at that time. After so many years I accidentally found this CD here and sampled every song before purchase. Then after receiving this CD I repeatedly listen to it in my car. Their harmony is exceptional and every song on this CD is wonderful. However without listening to their other albums, I still like CSN better as an album. But this is also easily one of my best "greatest hits" CD collection. If you don't have all their albums/songs, buy this and you won't regret.

Balance of Audio could be better, but considering the era is acceptable.

When I think of Cass, Jimi, Bobby, John, Martin, Miles, and Che Guevara: I automatically think of Graham, David and Stephen. The Progressives in America pine for a reunion for the 2020 presidential election!! CS&N are the spokespersons for our generation! Values of Compassion, Peace & Love in 2020. Daylight Again!
