did Don 'n' Glenn like CSN(Y)?
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 28 August 2014 23:09 (nine years ago) link
DON: The first CSN album really set laid the blueprint for the whole Los Angeles scene of the late '60s and early '70s. The call it the "Mellow Mafia" now, but that trivializes the power these guys had, these men who could be romantic, idealistic, and political right at the top of the charts, both on their own and in their solo work. Those amazing albums spent alot of time on the turntable at the Eagles' nest and you can believe we were taking notes.
GLENN: The track we identified with most was "Love The One Your With", because you could walk into any joint in LA, and think, "I've loved that chick her over there, and the one in the corner, and I'll be with that one by the pinball machine tonight!"
DON: Well, yeah.
A couple other tales start shortly after this: Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young: C/D, S/D

I really dislike Stephen Stills, but I recently picked up the first Manassas album and even I have to admit that it's pretty damn good.
― Austin, Thursday, 2 June 2016 18:35 (seven years ago) link
he wrote "judy blue eyes", "helplessly hoping", "carry on", "dark star", and "southern cross". therefore, he rules.

NB: AS A SONGWRITER NOT A PERSON
The 12 minute Bluebird is quite jawdropping.But I thought he was a twat in the Big Sur movie which has coloured the way I've seen him since.
I've got a great Manassas gig on my walkman. Not sure where from. Also great 19 minute Down By The River by CSNY from Balboa Park I think.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 2 June 2016 21:52 (seven years ago) link
Brimstead OTM. Stills and Young also one of the great guitar duos, especially when one of them reins it in enough to play second banana - e.g. "Ohio," "Long May You Run," virtually the entirety of the first Buffalo Springfield album.

Was just coming here to post this because I'm working for the afternoon on a bar patio and this is on the P.A. It totally justifies the existence of the song, which needs justifying.

I despise the song but I like it when the Isley Brothers and Aretha Franklin (her Fillmore album) cover it.
I f-ing hate CS&N, but I like quite a bit of what each of them did before they formed that group, specially Stills.

"Southern Cross" has been a periodic earworm for me ever since it first came out. I don't know why, but out of nowhere I'll get stuck in my head, "I have been arou-ow-ow-ow-nd the world ..."

― birdistheword, Wednesday, 18 May 2022 23:53 (two years ago) link
There are better and old bands who are all still alive, but I picked out U2 because of their album/ticket sales and IIRC their pre-Achtung Baby hits were staples of Chicago classic rock radio.

I'd like to add Roxy Music but the late Graham Simpson was a founding member - he left after one album and I don't think they ever had a bassist who was considered a permanent/official member after that.
― birdistheword, Wednesday, 18 May 2022 23:59 (two years ago) link
I think I determined on some other thread that all the original members of Manfred Mann, formed 60 years ago, are still around.
Anyway, I'll never be a Stills lover, but the first Manassas album is probably the best "solo" record by any of C, S or N.
― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 19 May 2022 00:14 (one year ago) link
For a project, I had to digitize the 9 minute version of "Bluebird", which is essentially the original song with an appended live version tacked onto it.. and there's a part at the end of the song where Stills starts "primally" grunting in a "sexual" way. It's every cliche about everything bad about "classic"/60s rock rolled up into one moment.. bad faux primal grunts. Thank you Stephen.― donut christ (donut), Saturday, December 25, 2004 1:49 PM

Heh heh...I only ever heard that extended "Bluebird" one time, on a college radio station. The deejays did an extended comic routine about the greatness of college radio & how no other stations would allow you, the listener, the privilege of hearing Steven Stills grunting.― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Saturday, December 25, 2004 3:23 PM

3:25 grunting begins. typical hippy freakout yelp.
4:23 after a very stoned fuzzbox solo, HOOAAHs have begun. somewhat off beat. charming.
5:50 vamping. grunts very tame and minimal so far.
6:15 "SANG IT CHILDUNN, YESSSSING!!!"
7:30 the jammy parts in this are really good! and that's what it's mostly been so far!
8:00 chorus comes back in.
8:28 wow, so the best part is almost at the very end and is totally acapella. nice.
well it wasn't as plentiful as i was anticipating, but it completely exceeded my expectations in grossing me out.
