The Crosby, Stills & Nash triumvirate shot to immediate superstardom with the release of its self-titled debut LP, a sparkling set immortalizing the group's amazingly close, high harmonies. While elements of the record haven't dated well -- Nash's Eastern-influenced musings on the hit ''Marrakesh Express'' now seem more than a little silly, while the antiwar sentiments of ''Wooden Ships,'' though well-intentioned, are rather hokey -- the harmonies are absolutely timeless, and the best material remains rock-solid. Stills' gorgeous opener, ''Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,'' in particular, is an epic love song remarkable in its musical and emotional intricacy, Nash's ''Pre-Road Downs'' is buoyant folk-pop underpinned by light psychedelic textures, and Crosby's ''Long Time Gone'' remains a potent indictment of the assassination of Robert Kennedy. A definitive document of its era.
