Sorry not into this

Not a favorite

S’alright

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and Marrakesh Express are classics. All the other tracks are utterly forgettable. -3 for the album overall.

An easy listening snooze fest. Pretty harmonies and guitar but also pretty boring.

Not my style

Nice listening. One catchy song.

No wonder Neil Young fell out with them… he must have put his back out carrying their dead weight if this is anything to go by.

Enjoyable in the background, but I'm not entirely into it. kinda meh, 2*.

Similar to Paul Simon, chill, got repetetive Top songs are great, rest is nothing special Top songs: Judy Blue Eyes, Helplessly Hoping, and Pre Road Downs

Honestly it didn’t impress me much. I know this band is well regarded but the songs weren’t super memorable to me. 2.5

Meh, not bad so that I didn't want to listen, and while I can respect the craft and musicianship on show it was all a bit too gentle and bland for me

Not my jam for sure.

Nostalgia album for male baby boomers. I can appreciate helplessly hoping and wooden ships but that’s it the whole album is just more of the same.

Kwalitatief uitstekend. Maar poeffff, wat is dit een saaie plaat. En dan staat er ook nog dat verschrikkelijke Beatles-achtige Marrakesh Expres op. Ondanks dat de heren prima kunnen zingen, luister ik vooral naar de muzikale begeleiding. Doe mij bijvoorbeeld toch maar een instrumentale versie van Wooden Ships.

Bit boring for me

The first two songs are good but then there’s 45 minutes of album left.

Album cover looks like it could have been released yesterday by some hipster singer/songwriter band. First song is too long. I generally dislike songs over 5mins. I like the organ on Pre-Road Downs. So far I like this more for chill background music than something I’d really be listening closely to. I do have helplessly hoping in my library already tho! It’s a very lovely song. The infinity selections after this album have been good!

None of the songs caught my attention. I don't know them and I probably won't remember them after this album.

This album really needed Neil Young.

Not my thing but okay

This one was a nothing album for me. Didn't do anything special. I liked the Marrakesh Express song well enough, but it all felt like background noise to me. I clearly know nothing about music but I just didn't jive with this one.

As boring as a traffic jam

It wasn't offensive but I wasn't overly into it. It just wasn't much. Decent as background music I reckon

classic folk americana, not my speed, tough to balance rating personal preference with acknowledging that critically it's good. I'm going to lean towards personal preference, wouldn't stop to listen all the way through again, classic album problem of all sounding samey

It was good but nor my genre

It's not terrible. But it is fairly boring. Perhaps my ears have been inundated with this style for too long, but this album doesn't seem all that special. Seems like peak boomer music. It's not pop per se, as there is some evidence of progressive chord changes and experimental tempos, melodies, etc. I'm not a fan of this style of vocals. The vocals are not unique and sound like every other band from the 1960s and 1970s. Nothing is catchy. None of the beats stick in my mind after a first listen. All the songs sound the same. I can't even remember any of the choruses immediately after listening. I'm always annoyed when the singing is just some form of repeating the phrase "oh baby" like 50 times. I don't even think I had a favorite song on this album, as none of them are memorable. I would not listen to this again if given the choice.

Forgettable and some unnecessary long to much fillers with dooo doo well thats what stood out to me most.

Was intrigued by the first song. The underlying rumbling snare and guitar stabs create a cowboy stand-off vibe that juxtaposes the orchestral string layers delicately placed on top. Kinda dramatic as fuck but I would happily have this as my background music in a cowboy shoot off. The rest of the album zoned out while I was walking home. Kinda forgettable overall, except for the strings layers on top through the album were nice. Probably wouldn’t listen again for at least 2 years

I know CSN are a big deal, but I honestly couldn’t tell you a single song they’ve released. I was thinking listening to this I would at least think “aaaah this is a CSN song!”. But nope. If I was watching a 60s/70s period hippy road trip series on Netflix it’s the kind of stuff that would soundtrack lots of dusty Cali sunsets. And you’d think, yeah this is cool. Outside of that, it’s a no from me.

Is it a bad album? No, of course not. Does listening to 2 songs feel like you’ve heard everything the album has to offer? It kinda does.

Track 12 - so true to their word Guessing this was an influential album that introduced a new American sound? Nothing too special about this for me, might even be 1.5 stars

Unexciting, never heard it before but felt like I had

Wooden Ships is the only thing redeeming this

Kakkosen ja kolmosen välis

Chilled country vibes

Crap without young

nopt awful

So flipping boring

The guitar playing is really great and relaxing. The singing was pretty decent too. Not a whole lot I'd listen to on repeat, but it was a good listen while it was on

Ok, these guys may have been good back in the day, but 54 yeras have passed now and in my wee humble opinion it hasnt dated very well. Politely polished male harmonisation that isn't bad, they were wannabe Simon and Garfunkels, but not quite hitting the mark. Sadly this type of music is just a polar opposite of anything I'd want to listen to. As i listened to the album I thought these guys were OK for the late 60s... but then they even managed to completely kill Harry Neillsons Everybody's Talking, which is a shame, because there are soooo many excellent versions of that track, from Harry's original to The Beautiful South. This is not an album for me.

I've listened to this album at least 16 times in an evidently fruitless attempt to pair thoughtful review with a careful rating. But each time I sit down to write, I end up throwing up my hands in frustration because I can't justify giving 3 stars after forgetting if I even listened all the way through the last time (each time I thought I hadn't yet fully did). So this is an official f-you to the album that has somehow gaslighted me more than Amy Dunne gaslit Nick Dunne in Gone Girl.

C Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - 3 Marrakesh Express - 3 Guinnevere - 2 You Don’t Have to Cry - 3 Pre-Road Downs - 2 Wooden Ships - 2 Lady of the Island - 3 Helplessly Hoping - 3 Long Time Gone - 3 49 Bye-Byes - 2 I have nothing to say about this, other than it was better than I expected. However, it's a 2, so what does that even count for?

Friendly hippie singing circle. Boring.

Levy kuulostaa kanneltaan eli ruskealta. Miellyttävää, mutta ei ihastuta ja vangitse. Maanläheisyys toki lämmittää.

They need Young bad

Not horrible, not great

For some reason my review for this album was deleted and I have to write it again. It's a terrible task to do it again, so I will summarize - I like the iteration of the band with Young, it was okay, but I don't really find this version amusing in any way. Very average album altogether. That's it.

It’s a wonderful sound in search of more memorable songs

It's got 'Marrakech express' on it, which is a song I love. Lots of quite annoying '60s-style close vocal harmonies. Gentle, complex guitar work. All a bit samey though. 52 minutes and 14 songs felt very long!

Terribly average.

This is really quite dull. They've got the ingredients there to be much more interesting than they are - you can't really fault their singing voices (because Neil Young isn't part of the group yet), they are competent musicians, but the songs all sound the same, and the same isn't particularly lively in the first place. Lacks energy throughout, don't see this as an essential listen by any means. 2/5.

A very slow album. Actually almost put me to sleep, I had a real struggle keeping my eyes open at work. I was hoping that it would be a little more up tempo but alas, it wasn't to be. Best: 49 Bye-Byes Worst: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

Very boring, given their talent!

If I wanted to listen to a bunch of hippies singing folk music, I wouldn't, because I don't want to listen to a bunch of hippies singing folk music. This may be my father's favorite album, but it certainly is not mine. I can see why many people enjoy Crosby, Stills & Nash, but they are not for me. Nevertheless, Wooden Ships and Marrakesh Express are quite good.

Ganz ... nett! Und erfreulicherweise noch ohne Neil Young. Das war's dann aber auch.

Quite frankly, boring. The "doo doo doo doo doo"s at the end of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" are great, and the guitar/effect on "Pre-Road Downs" is pretty cool but that's about all that really stood out for me. The rest was certainly listenable and inoffensive but didn't do much for me.

Pretty but samey

Not bad, not really my cup of tea

As soon as I saw it was folk rock I knew I was not going to enjoy it. After vaguely listening to the album I was right. Highlight was: Marrakesh Express

Some of the lyrics were good, but it felt like I was listening to the same song over and over again

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Definitely didn't push the right buttons for me.

It was ok. Just not a huge fan of their music but I respect it

An alright folk album with some interesting songs. Not exactly looking forward to listen again.

5/10 meh

Familiar w this one

Not terrible.

Wasnt my favourite

It’s no Simon and Garfunkel

A classic, but one I won’t be listening to again. Took me three and a half hours to listen to it. I appreciate the influence they had and the harmonies. But meh….

Good harmonies, not really my thing

Yawn. Not my jam

While it's clearly the work of three very good song writers, they were clearly waiting for the 4th to show up in Neil Young. As it is, it fills me with the ick that that sort of '100 Drive Time Songs' compilation that you buy for your Dad as a thoughtless Father's Day gift gives you. He thinks Jeremy Clarkson tells it like it is, but there's a drug reference just gentle enough he can feel edgy, and a sad song for when he thinks about the divorce. America was miles behind the UK at this point, wasn't it... So much bland detritus like this in this list.

There are some great chill songs on here but I feel like I need to be in the right headspace or this thing just feels incredibly boring. Highlights: Marrakesh Express, Pre-Road Downs, Wooden Ships.

Some nice moments but overall not my kind of music. Slow moments that didn't do much for me

Boooooring.

Kind of like the Beatles or Led Zeppelin, but with a country twang. Reminds me of stuff my parents would play in the car when I was little.

I dug the stuff on the album that didn’t sound so much like CSN

No fue para mí :( me costó terminarlo

Lindo pero olvidable

nose no me gusta el folk

ehh.. I want to like it but it's harmonizing folk from the 60s. Some of it is decent.

I can see why it was popular but only like three songs really grabbed me. Overall not my thing kind of boring.

Yeah I’d just rather listen to the Beatles

This was a chore to get through. Beautiful harmonies, flawless instruments but man was it boring. Adding the faves to a 2006 remaster is skewing the ratings.

Music for people who clap when an airplane lands. Too many albums from the Neil Young Extended Universe (CSN, CSNY, Buffalo Springfield, all of the members' solo albums) on this list and they all sound the same.

Soothing but not my thing sorry lads

The harmonies are nice, and it's all very neat and tidy, but I just find it hard to love. It sounds a bit sterile to me. Marrakesh Express, Helplessly Hoping and 49 Bye-Byes stood out as tracks I might listen to again. 2.5

Really not my cup of tea

The album makes me think of laidback summer weekend afternoons. I appreciate the craftsmanship that they put into the harmonies and it's remarkable how they come across as one voice. All that said though, it's not really my cup of tea and I doubt I'll be revisiting the album for my personal enjoyment.

Canciones hippies de bonita melodía pero nada que atrapara mi atención. 2.5 pero baja a dos porque no creo volver a ponerlo. Songs: Wooden Ships.

Not a huge amount here TBH

The group before Neil Young was added. Very folksy music and several of the songs are recognizable; however, I am not sure I would request to hear any of the songs again. The cover of Everyone's Talking was probably the best song but the original is still better. I didn't hate it but it was just there. It is a mid 2 but I will round down.

It's just boring

Favourite track was “Marrakesh Express”. Overall didn’t really enjoy, found it lacking excitement as there was any real attack to the music. Found the extreme left/right mixing where vocals only in 1 ear a bit difficult, but I always think this!

Sympathique. Quétaine par moment.

J’avais de grosses appréhensions négatives en voyant cet album. Finalement c’est beaucoup moins pire que je pensais. Pas mon bag, mais j’ai bien aimé les harmonies vocales qu’on retrouvait dans leurs groupes précédents. Ce côté me plaît, mais je le préfère avec un côté rock. Pas sûr que je vais y revenir par contre, mais cet album a sa place dans cette liste.

Prior to today I couldn't name a single song from this musical act. I knew they were pretty popular and revered and that Neil Young would later join them and that about covered it. Somehow I didn't know a single song or album title. Well I wasn't missing much. The whole thing came across as bland folk. They have fine harmonies and whatnot and it wasn't annoying level bad but I was not entertained by any of it. There was no standout. It just went on. Fortunately this album is relatively short. I don't think I will ever come back to this one.

Always regarded Crosby, Stills & Nash's music rather boring and uninspiring, and guess what? Relistening to this album only made me more confident in my opinions.

Some nice harmonies and decent songs. Annoying the album wasn't on Spotify so I had to put it on youtube where it didn't sound brilliant to me. Not especially memorable, I'm sure they've done better

nice enough. not one to go back to

Late 60's Singer/Songwriter/Folk/Country/Hippie-Album. Nothing stands out. Quite boring. 2/5.

Some of it's really nice for background listening but I'm not sure I'd put this on intentionally very often

No es el estilo de musica que me gusta escuchar.

Another typical ‘60s album. Nothing to groundbreaking but not unpleasant either. A few memorable songs but tbh mostly forgettable unfortunately. 3/10

Normally this kind of stuff is right up my alley, but I've listened to this before and my thoughts are the same after listening again: it's pretty boring.

A limping foetus of an album.

Really not my jam at all, sorry

“The wildness that should liberate great rock is so well-controlled that when it appears it seems to have been inserted just to prove the music is rock.”

First listen. I know a couple of the popular songs. The rest are new to me. CSN are great, but their sound is pretty dated now. Listening to that harmonizing on each song get's a little tired. Still an enjoyable album. 2/5

This album is okay. If you're into 60s folk stuff, you probably love it. It's just not my scene. But I didn't hate it either.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Generous 2. Most of this is hugely dull.

Somewhere between okay, and good.

60s Belle & Sebastian

Couldn't really get into it. As a first time listener, I found nothing exceptional about this, apart from the bass, which was lovely.

Very samey, kinda bland

Snooze. Sorry, just not my thing

Not for me.

Considero que o álbum seja de rock minimalista, pois o Rock é mínimo tal como o prazer que uma pessoa retira ao ouvir isto. A melhor cantiga deste álbum é o Wodden Ships. Nota:3/10 Data: 20/02/2026

Some beautiful lyrics, nice tunes, not really my bag though as a genre. Reminded me of Simon & garfunkel

Quite boring. Didn't do anything for me.

Not sure about this one. A bit dreary for me I think.

I know how influential these guys were, but it still doesn't change the fact that I unfortunately found this to be pretty boring. Redeeming qualities, absolutely, but I wouldn't return to this Saved: Pre-Road Downs

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: 49 Bye-Byes, Teach Your Children Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: People adore this? Hated this on first listen, extreme overdose of meh on second listen. Simply was not interesting to me. Sorry.

Zo vaak geprobeerd dit leuk te vinden, maar het blijft saai.

Godsamme, heeft David Crosby aandelen in deze 1001-album-generator ofzo? Ik heb nou inmiddels wel genoeg zoetsappigheid gehoord.

Er is keuze uit 1001 platen, ik heb er 14 voorgeschoteld gekregen. In 3 daarvan zat David Crosby. Hoe groot is die kans? Overigens vind ik die samenzang nog steeds verschrikkelijk zoetsappig.

wan't my cup of tea.

Sin pena ni gloria

Caí en coma.

booooooo! didn’t finish

Wooden Ships has a really nice vibe. Most of the rest of the album is ok but feels kinda overworked. It gives off a mostly calm feelings but the lyrics feel "meh" in general. Clearly the group has potential but I'm not certain why this album specifically was chosen.

old mall music. totally forgettable.

Melko laimeaa menoa alusta loppuun. Yksi hittibiisi osu korvaan

3/10, Rather forgettable, and did not stick with me in the slightest

Paul Simon wannabes. Stop singing together so much!

Harmonize, strum, harmonize, strum. Zzzzzzz.

DNF Not really for me, felt like background music Nice to hear the originate everybody's music talking as I only knew it by the beautiful south Don't feel like I appreciated it

A couple great songs, but not really into the rest of the album.

Not my vibe

#440 / 1089 Heard before? ❌ Revisit? ❌ Nope. Very hard nope. Barely 1/5

Regular

Me and Folk Rock don't mix. It's a little upsetting to me how most Folk Rock albums just don't resonate with me whatsoever and this album is another example. It takes something to make me like a Folk Rock album and what that something is is something I need to figure out. I liked Folk Rock albums before: Nick Drake and Simon & Garfunkel both having albums I enjoyed. S&G's Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of the few albums on this list I gave a 5/5 rating. I think I rely heavily on the music and a little less on the lyrical story-telling that seems to be the main focus of any kind of Folk music. Folk-music seems to have the music-part serve as sort of a pedestal for the lyric-part which again, I sway heavy on the instrumental side a lot more than anything else. LOL! Of course, after saying that, the track with no lyrics is my favourite from the album. I need more! Don't know if that makes me greedy or not. Overall, the album, like most Folk albums, is fine. T3: Song with No Words, Pre-Road Downs, Marrakesh Express

Fine and quirky but didn't grab me.

not so much of my taste but the recommendation it gave away was good

Not for me. 1/5

felt pretty generic

Poronga con patas

Songs like country Beatles.

The vocals are really lovely. Songs you can dance to, really catchy. Some of these songs are so pretty! Fav song is ‘You Don’t Have to Cry’.

Sounds kinda samey Not for me Nope

I guess you had to be there

Nothing to report, dull.

Not for me

american drivel rock at its finest. It’s just repetitive shite, them harmonies people get so excited about just make my arse twitch.

I just can’t

I love The Byrds and have much affection for The Hollies and Buffalo Springfield but I totally can not be dealing with CSN or any of their variants - painfully bad. The system requires me to award a minimum of one star, very much undeserved in this instance. Tom.

not my vibe

Tää oli aika tylsä levy. Biiseistä ei jäänyt mikään yksittäinen mieleen. Miksaus oli todella hassu. Suurimmassa osassa biisejä rytmisoittimet oli aivan liian taka-alalla makuuni. Rummut kuului pelkästään oikealta ja rytmikitara vasemmalta. Lauluharmoniat oli todella pinnassa, eikä pudonnut mulle ollenkaan, vaikka ne on ollut tekijöilleen lienee ykkösasia.

huh? funny ale ne

Folk rock is not my thing.

not really my taste in music…sorry

give me a break from all this 60s folk/pop rock shit. i get it i'm not a boomer

Inte för mig

This album pmo for some reason

Gostei da voz dos artistas. Mas folk não é meu favorito. Músicas muito longas e sem um tema constante.

the beatles from walmart

Kam ich nicht rein. Musste also auch nicht rauskommen.

Hippy dross

Not a fan of these three

boooooring

2/10 - this is a generic 60s album

Too close to country for comfort.

Recently, I gave a Talk Talk album 2/5 because it was boring and pretentious. It wasn’t exciting enough to annoy me, but at least it was inoffensive.. This Crosby, Stills & Nash guff actively irked me, so I am obliged to award a lower score. Seriously, It’s bad. It’s like that scene in Family Guy when Peter says that The Godfather “insists upon itself”. This record insists upon itself. The music on this album is annoying, outdated and far too pleased with itself. It is just not relevant in 2025. A desperate imitation of The Beatles (also irrelevant in 2025), this album has no place on this list.

Ngl I listened to it three or four times and none of the songs were memorable

If I wasn't committed to trying to expand my music knowledge I wouldn't have made it past the first song on the album. Remains to be see if I can finish the rest of the songs

Not my type of style, very American kinda country typa vibe

insufferable. i hate country jesus christ.

Album de 3 racistes jamais sorties de leurs Ranch

Really just one song for me. Again, great voices, but some of these songs are just too whimsical for me. We could do with a lot less humming.

Мимо

Not my favorite album of theirs, pretty damn slow and sleepy

Why we all singing… reminded me if the monkeys met the doobie brothers

Boring

"Whoopa, hey mesa, hooba huffa, hey meshy goosh goosh" this has to be a little racist, right? I do not love this album.

really not my style

This folk stuff is boring as all hell. Just a hard listen. No me gusta. Hope to never hear this again. Negative score

i just didnt care ngl

Did not like.

Знаете, есть музыка, которая, как хороший виски, с годами становится только лучше. А есть… ну, скажем так, йогурт. Вроде бы съедобно и временами даже вкусно, но через пару недель лучше выбросить. Так вот, Crosby, Stills & Nash — это йогурт эпохи хиппи. Натуральный, без ГМО, но давно уже безнадёжно прокисший. Слушая этот альбом, я чувствую себя археологом, откопавшим артефакт ушедшей цивилизации. Вот он, музыкальный слепок эпохи, пропитанный духом Вудстока и ароматом… ну, вы сами знаете чего. Сладкие как патока гармонии, наивные тексты. Эти мелодии — мягкие, как пух единорога, и такие же, чёрт возьми, нереальные. Голоса сливаются в единый приторный сироп, от которого сводит скулы, как от передозировки сахарной ваты на ярмарке. Кто сегодня будет слушать Crosby, Stills & Nash? Разве что тот, кто в 1969-м под «Suite: Judy Blue Eyes» потерял девственность на плюшевой кровати в фургоне Volkswagen.

didnt finish, boring

Singing accompanied by guitar, i'd pick a good reggae band over this any time.

Repetetive harmonies make this folk album dull.

Not my vibes

Absolute trash.

When I reviewed Deja Vu, I did not expect to land on a 2, but I did. I thought, “Would this be a 1 if it didn’t include Neil Young?” Well, here we are. I’ve already said a lot about my feelings towards hippie folk, all that still stands here. It’s not really the WORST thing I’ve ever heard, but it sucks a lot, I will never listen to it again, and it now exists on a curve against CSNY.

Horrible

I have a controversial opinion as I really found the harmonies annoying. No doubt they are technically brilliant but the only word I have for this album is bland. Just not my cup of tea

It's just too hippy dippy for me , no bite.

Non ascoltato tutto ma nulla di particolare, abbastanza brutte le linee vocali

Boomer garbage.

I don't know a song and it doesn't matter. Definitely unimportant

soft gentle boring whisper of music.

Wasn't on spotify so I didn't listen to it

I expected/wanted this to be great, good, or at least innovative. It was just poor

Makes you want to punch a hippie in the face. I only wish David Crosby could come back to life so he could die again. At least his dirt nap finally shut him up.

Altisima mierda loco, que pesaos ⏬

Nicht meine Musik

not for me

Insipid.

The kind of album that makes me want to reconsider this project.

Not my type, really, I tried three times.

This is precisely the horseshit I think of when I think of when someone says '60s music. The fake harmonizing drives me fuckin' nuts. Kumbaya motherfuckers!

muy aburrido

There's an inherent conservatism to folk rock, but Crosby, Stills & Nash sniff at the boundaries, adding a bit of extra fuzz to the bass tone here, sprinkling some extra minor tones there. But then they create something as infantile as Marrakesh Express which instantly voids any attempt to take them seriously. To add insult to injury, the trio released it as a single. Why? Iggy Pop is right. "I mean, Marrakesh Express? It may be the worst song ever written."

I have no patience or appreciation for troubador Americana shit like this. Boring.

Tarkoituksellista ärsyttämistä? Haluan uskoa niin.

Bro song without words might be the most boring ass song I’ve ever heard. Honestly this album is so fucking slow like painfully slow. The only song I really like is Guinnevere but that’s probably just nostalgia since my mom used to play that song in the car all the time. But otherwise really lame

Was not a fan

Vond hier echt geen reet aan.

Of its time perhaps but sounds dull to my ears. An early 70s vibe that maybe the album influenced. Clearly these are talented people but it just doesn’t do anything for me as an album.

Not a fan of old acoustic. I find it boring with dull instrumentals.

Ugh what a load of shit. Spare me the late 60s folky garbage. 1/5.

horrible hippy shit.

chiant, et même pa sur spotify

....not for me. Sorry.

boring didnt finish :(

Mainstream of the 60s, nothing different and a bit sleepy. But works well as a lazy afternoon soundtrack.

nah. not my thing

Massively overrated. Uninteresting.

Smooth, but bland. Maybe they were better once Neil Young joined.

So straight away I have to say I’m not a huge fan of folk style music and/or the sound from the 70’s that this album is full of. So my hopes were not high when I got dealt this selection. My hopes sank even lower after each track I listened to even though I kept doing so objectively and without bias. It’s just not an exciting or enjoyable album at all in my opinion. Normally on a successful bands highest rating album there is at least one track you can admire and get a glimpse into why others like their music so much...I couldn’t even see a glimmer in any of these tracks.

Quién le bajo la barra tanto a esta lista?

No quise ni terminar de escucharlo

I feel like I'm inside a Goodwill

Relaxing
