Crosby, Stills & Nash shot to immediate superstardom with the release of this, their self-titled debut LP, a sparkling set immortalizing the group's amazingly close, high harmonies.

While elements of the record might seem forever ensconced in the late '60s -- Nash's Eastern-influenced musings on the hit "Marrakesh Express" reveal his roots in The Hollies as much as his worldliness, and the antiwar sentiments of the apocolyptic future tale: "Wooden Ships", is a theme often echoed by other contemporaries, though as done hear, utterly compelling  and a sheer classic -- the harmonies are absolutely timeless, and the best material remains rock-solid.

Stills' gorgeous opener, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", in particular, is an epic love song remarkable in its musical and emotional intricacy, Nash's "Pre-Road Downs" is buoyant folk-pop underpinned by light psychedelic textures, and Crosby's "Long Time Gone" remains a potent indictment of the assassination of Robert Kennedy. His "Guinnnevere" is simply sublime. A definitive document of its era
