Stephen Stills


The new disc, Live At Berkeley 1971 is out now.   I got it yesterday and it's on repeat.  I am biased I am sure, but I think he is one of the best singers, songwriters, musicians of my generation.  Plus he plays Sugar Babe on this disc, a favorite of mine, from SS2.

That movie is chalked full of CSNY jokes/references and in this case, musical fact.

Yes SS is good, but best writer is CSNY?  One only has to look at the prodigious catalogue that belongs to Neil Young to know who wears that crown. IMHO 🤣

Yes, Neil has produced a lot of music, but quite a bit of it has been sub-par too.

"Yes, Neil has produced a lot of music, but quite a bit of it has been sub-par too."

The only reasonable way of comparing songwriters is best-to-best. Say, best 10 vs. best 10 (even Dylan wrote some crap, you know). But this gets tricky, because we're really comparing specific recordings --products of particular times and places and equipment and drug intake and other variables -- not comparing sheet music.
