Crosby, Stills, and Nash

Crosby, Stills, and Nash were extremely important in the folk movement of the sixties along with Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, and The Byrds. Due to the surge of interest in a "back-to-nature" lifestyle and a desire for an escape from the political and cultural clashes going on in the news as well as the ongoing Vietnam War, folk was a way to acquire peace. It was also an escape from the radio-friendly music heard on the radio, with people seeking out singer-songwriters. It is a shame that CSN were not inducted their first year of eligibility. With Neil Young, CSN performed at the legendary Woodstock Music and Art Fair of 1969. Member Stephen Stills was also a member of Buffalo Springfield and went on to have a successful solo career. Member Graham Nash was also a member of the Hollies. Member David Crosby was also a member of the Byrds.
