The years of 1969-1974 were the golden years of classical rock and rock's first supergroup merged togehter from The Hollies, Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds. There music was pure joy to listen to. It all started when Nash met Crosby and Stills at the home of Joni Mitchell. A chance meeting would lead to the trio's debut album that embodied what the era was about; protest songs taking on President Nixon, war, love, peace, and personal development. Their songs of "Wooden Ships," "Ohio" and "For What Its Worth," became the anthem of a generation. The vast emotional range of their music, from delicate acoustic confessionals to racucous countercultural anthems were mirrored in their personal lives as well. They were combative, voatile, and songwriters who pursued chemical and female pleasures to life-threatening extremes.
