- “Suite Judy Blue Eyes” Famously written for Stills’ ex, Judy Collins, “Suite Judy Blue Eyes” is easily among the most famous songs in the CSN canon. In facr, it’s the song that introduced their first album and their music as a whole.
- “49 Bye-Byes” Another classic from the group’s eponymous debut, “49 Bye- Byes” is also one of the few CSN songs that’s elusive in terms of content. No one seems quite sure of what the 49 bye byes refer to, although part of the song grafts in Stills’ Buffalo Springfield song “Questions” with a change in its tempo.
- “Woodstock” They were there, but the one who wrote one of CSNY’s most popular tunes was not. That would be Joni Mitchell, of course, who opted to forego the festival in order to appear on The Dick Cavett Show, instead.
- “Southern Cross” Another track taken from Daylight Again, the song reflects the narrator’s desire to take comfort from sailing on the sea in the wake of a failed love affair with lines like, “I have my ship / And all her flags are a flyin’ / She is all that I have left / And music is her name.”
- Suite Judy Blue Eyes (1969) Another deft amalgamation - as the title implies, this is a suite of four short songs written by Stills and seamlessly interwoven.
- Ohio (1970) Composed by Neil Young in pained reaction to the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970, Ohio was rush-released as a single, scoring them a Billboard Top 20 hit.
- Wooden Ships (1969) Co-written by Jefferson Airplane’s Paul Kantner (their version appears on the Airplane’s Volunteers album), this captivating tale of survival in a nuclear holocaust is wrapped around an arrangement that mirrors the ominous undertones of the subject matter.
- Carry On (1970) Here Stephen Stills brings elements of three different songs into one concise package. He draws on Questions from his old band Buffalo Springfield, plus there’s a jam session with drummer Dallas Taylor tagged on as a delightful free-form coda.
