David Crosby / Stephen Stills / Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills and Nash)

The Byrds’ David Crosby, Buffalo Springfield’s Stephen Stills and the Hollies’ Graham Nash joined forces as rock’s most important vocal supergroup in 1968. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame trio (intermittently a quartet with the addition of Still’s Buffalo Springfield bandmate Neil Young) brought a focus on complicated harmonies—sometimes in such complex song structures as “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”—and the flair for melodic pop songwriting from their past groups. Their popularity, like their music, has endured to this day, even as Crosby, Stills and Nash have simultaneously maintained successful solo careers.

Key songs in the David Crosby-Stephen Stills-Graham Nash catalog include “Guinnevere,” “Love The One You’re With,” “Our House,” “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” and “Teach Your Children.”
