Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ~ together and apart
by Moondance

Chart under construction - will add further commentary over time.
Dateline: 22 January 2023
Late December 2022, I happened across the idea of creating a custom chart to put together the creative output of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash & Neil Young ~ collectively, individually and with other bands.
Fast forward to 18 January 2023 and news that David Crosby has died, aged 81. I now feel more convinced that this chart, bringing together the albums that showcase the musicianship, singing & songwriting of these four creative talents will be a useful resource.
In ranking the albums within the chart, I had 3 options:
a. based on my own ranking of each album;
b. based on the collective BEA member ranking of each album;
c. based on the release date of each album or the performance date of 'live' albums.
I decided on the latter option as I feel that it best portrays the musical journey each of them took (together & apart) and how their musical careers intersected.
Note: Given the limit of 100 albums per chart and the output of the totality of CSN&Y, I have not included compilation/greatest hit albums or every 'live' album; nor have I included every Neil Young album - especially those from his latter career.

1977 (July) - NY 31.
The Ducks were a short-lived super group formed in the summer of 1977, comprising Jeff Blackburn, Bob Mosley, Neil Young and Johnny Craviotto. The band played a series of impromptu bar gigs over a seven week period in 1977 around the Santa Cruz California area.
The album (High Flyin') - although released in May 2023 by Neil Young as part of his 'Archives' project, captures highlights from those short lived summer of '77 live concerts.
