Crosby, Stills, and Nash

Crosby, Stills, and Nash were a folk rock supergroup made up of David Crosby of The Byrds, Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield, and Graham Nash of The Hollies. They were a phenomenal success, with numerous hit singles and bestselling albums. They famously performed at the Woodstock Festival of 1969, where they played the song Woodstock. The song had been written by folk musician Joan Baez months earlier and quickly became a counterculture staple. CSN were later joined by Neil Young, who had also been a member of Buffalo Springfield. They had further hits such as the counterculture staple Ohio, about a mass shooting by the National Guard of college students protesting the bombing of Cambodia which had only recently happened at the time of its release. Many of their hits, both with and without Young, have become classic rock staples. With Young they continued to have bestselling albums. Young actually performed with them at Woodstock. They broke up in the seventies, with Stills seeing the greatest solo success of the original three. His biggest hit Love the One You're With actually features Crosby and Nash on backing vocals, but was still counted as solo. All three have been inducted into the actual Hall of Fame twice as well as Young. Weird Al Yankovic parodied CSN with his song Mission Statement, taking elements especially from Carry On and Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. The latter had originally been written for Judy Collins, with whom Stills was in love at the time.
