Hello from Bob
#1
Hello, I am Bob. I like music, everything from Classical to the Glen Miller Band! My favorite performers are The Beach Boys with their gorgeous four part harmony. I am looking forward to learning more about other styles of music. ...God Bless, best wishes Bob

Thank you so very much for the welcome! I truly enjoyed the Beach Boy tunes you provided for me to hear! I hope you do not think bad of me but I enjoyed all the Beach Boy tunes with a some good red wine! Absolutely awesome were the tunes you picked out. Thank you very much!!

Welcome Bob. I am also a Beach Boys fan as I also like multi-part harmonies. Another favourite of mine is the Four Seasons.

Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young are about as good as harmonies go IMO...
if you havent heard it and you have the money i suggest you invest in their "deja vu" album

^ Agreed. I am a Hollies (Graham Nash) fan too. My only CSN&Y album is So Far.

i have all their studio albums as a quartet,but not this one???...im assuming its some sort of compilation,right?

im a huge fan of The Hollies(nash), like most of The Byrds(crosby)material,but not all of it...and love Buffalo Springfield(stills/young)

Nash's debut solo set is also very good, but thats as far as my knowledge of his solo work goes..

It was their first compilation (of singles) and you would not need it if you had the albums, except for Ohio and its b-side Find the Cost of Freedom. I always liked Ohio, since it was covered by Welsh band Sassafras, and, although some people think it is twee, Our House.
