Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) was formed in 1968 by the illustrious trio of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash, three musicians who already had substantial credentials from their previous associations with bands such as The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and The Hollies, respectively. Their fusion created a pioneering force in the development of folk rock, with an emphasis on vocal harmonies, introspective lyrics, and a dedication to activism. The group's eponymous debut album, "Crosby, Stills & Nash," released in 1969, featured the iconic single "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and marked a new era in rock with its blend of intricate harmonies and acoustic-based music.

Beyond their initial success, CSN continued to capture the spirit of the times with further releases. In 1970, they were joined by Neil Young for the album "Déjà Vu," which further solidified their place in rock history. The group experienced changes and sporadic hiatuses, with and without Young, yet consistently produced music that resonated with the shifting cultural landscape. Their albums like "CSN," a return to form in 1977, "Daylight Again," which produced hits such as "Southern Cross," and live recordings such as "CSN 2012," captured their dynamic performances over the decades. Despite personal and musical tensions occasionally surfacing, Crosby, Stills & Nash have remained a notable and influencing force in music, celebrated for their contributions to the soundtrack of a generation's conscience and their indelible mark on the tapestry of American folk-rock music.
