Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

I really loved listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in class, and realized I knew way more of their songs than previously thought. I've heard "Our House" many times, plus "Teach Your Children" and "Carry On." My favorite aspect of this group is definitely the four part harmony. It's incredibly impressive how they are able to synchronize their voices in such a unique way. Without the harmonies, I probably would not have enjoyed this band, because they seem to have an old-folk-sometimes-country sound that isn't exactly appealing to me. However, the harmonies keep me interested and appreciative. Their songs come up in lots of movies as well and I never realized it was CSNY until now! Here is "Our House" live in 1974 (The hair in this video is a bonus).
