Crosby, Stills, Nash & sometimes Young:

Crosby, Stills & Nash:(1969)

Deja Vu:(1970)

4 Way Street:(1971)

Graham Nash David Crosby:(1972)

So Far:(1974)

CSN:(1977)

Hmm, let's see. Where to begin with this group of albums? I own three vinyl copies of Deja Vu. One of the first five or so albums I bought myself as a kid, along with Bob Dylan, The Stones, and The Byrds was, So Far. This was also one of the groups that inspired and informed my politics in a big open armed socialist hippie kind of way. Not to mention, these dudes could sing their asses off. But some of my favorite bits are when Neil Young and Stephen Stills get to exchanging guitar solos, then magic happens. Every time I'm about to walk into a hair appointment I start singing Almost Cut My Hair in the dark corners of my mind. These songs, sung by these people are so much a part of my life that even when I haven't listened to them for years I feel instantly at home when one of them comes on, or I drop the needle in the groove.
