CSN by Crosby, Stills, and Nash

CSN, the third studio album from Crosby, Stills & Nash and only their second as a trio, came out on Atlantic on June 17, 1977, with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash producing it themselves. Eight years after the debut, the harmonies are still the whole story: those three voices braided so tight you can't tell where one stops and the next begins, laid over soft, sun-bleached rock.

Nash brought "Just a Song Before I Go", a number 7 hit, Stills brought "Fair Game", and "Cathedral" is the one that surfaced on the countdowns. The public turned out in force: it reached number 2 on the Billboard album chart, went quadruple platinum, and as of 2012 it was the trio's biggest seller, ahead of their 1969 debut by 200,000 copies.
