Alright, I will add my two cents... Neil is more prolific than CSN-He had a huge run from like 66-79 (though some albums were a little uneven (self-titled, Goldrush, Harvest) though I don't care a whole lot for Live Rust compared to everything before in that era, and his bad stuff is not as bad as some of CSN's worst EVER,. He also has periodically had good stuff in each subsequent decade 80s-today, and I consider myself a pretty huge CSN fan. However, today CSN doesn't get much credit. Most of the Crosby/Nash albums were great (case in point, Wind on the Water), I even thought the one that came out ten years ago was great. Croz's IICORMN is a huge classic-like Croz with the Dead not to mention all the unreleased stuff from Planet Earth Rock n Roll Orchestra. Plus Croz wrote some great songs while in the Byrds that many younger people don't know about (Everybody's Been Burned, Strange Gathering, Lady Friend, Dolphin's Smile, It Happens Each Day, Why?), CPR also had some cool tracks, and showed Crosby could still do something and don't forget Nash's only not crappy songs with the Hollies (Butterfly, Maker, Postcard, I'm forgetting one), as well as Songs for Beginners. His released solo output since usually has a few good tracks (Chelsea Hotel, Magical Child, Out on the Island), Plus CSN had some great albums (the first, two, I happen to like the 70s album, and assorted tracks from the later LPs, though they are all very uneven. They also ALL have some great unreleased stuff from the 70s on, and some earlier unreleased gems that most people don't even know about (e.g. unreleased version of Lee Shore, How Have You Been, Everybody's Talkin, Blackbird, Taken At All, Homeward Through the Haze). Stills has had some good albums (Manassas, first solo album, Stills Alone, Man Alive was pretty good), plus he often pulls off some good tracks here and there throughout his career, though he's had some huge duds (Illegal Stills, Right By You). His recording quality definitely droppped. His Buffalo Springfield songs are some of his best though (too many to name, but Bluebird, Hung Upside Down, Questions, Special Care, For What Its Worth, Rock N Roll Woman, etc. plus his guitar playing on a lot of the songs was great), and I think Neil brings out a lot in his playing (check Buffalo Springfield reunion at Bonnaroo, the solos they trade on Bluebird, for example).
