Crosby and Nash were great singers and stills was a great guitarist/singer-songwriter. He doesnt get enough credit. He's a hell of a lot better than young at guitar, his voice technically better and he wrote some pretty great songs. Neil was just a lot more consistent with his songwriting.
Its not really a fair comparison, Crazy Horse were a band that just lacked a frontman when they hooked up with Young, whereas CSNY were a supergroup that happened to work very well together, when its often more common that supergroup's don't work that well together.

Luckily that was the only thing he copied from Doug Ingle, because outside of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida they didn't put out a good album.

I had the honor of seeing buffalo Springfield last year. I can proudly say that I've been a part of one of the few audiences that has had the privilege to see them in the last 40 years.

Ive never been really impressed with a pearl jam album as a whole. They've made some great songs and some pretty good albums, but nothing that was really great in it's entirety.

I'd give it to Neil, but I think it boils down to taste. I love Bob still of course, saw him in 2010.

One of the best psychedelic albums ever made, though, and the title track is one of the greatest moments of the genre. The 3 minute single just doesn't cut it, though.

Ten is as close to a perfect record that Pearl Jam made. "Alive" is a great track, which features one of my favorite solos.

But overall, I think Pearl Jam are an abomination. One of the worst bands, mainly just due to the fact I find Eddie Vedder to be a boring vocalist and as they went on they basically became the AOR equivalent of the alternative scene.

Vs. was a boring record. As was anything they did after that to this day.

I remember going through a Pearl Jam phase, but in my defense I was on a lot of drugs at the time.

Mostly what stops me from liking them more is Eddie though, don't like his songwriting. Find him to be no better than any of the self help zombies, who drink at starbucks and read The Secret and think they are deep.

No better than any of their clones.

at least I can laugh at Creed. Remember seeing them live.

To be honest, I think Creed are a decent band, they are just stuck with a piss poor douche of a singer. But I like Mark Tremonti as a guitarist.

Alive is a good song but it's been so overplayed it's hard for me to listen to these days
