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.

Stills wrote song great songs, but come on, this is like comparing the 1985 Los Angeles Lakers to the Washington Generals. Neil Young is in a small handful of the greatest songwriters in rock and roll history, having recorded at least half a dozen albums that are widely and rightly considered among the best rock records ever made. Relatively speaking, Stills isn't much more than a footnote.

I didn't say Stephen Stills didn't have talent. There is a difference between talent and genius. I could name at least a dozen Neil Young albums that are better than any solo album Stills ever made, but so what if you disagree? Some people prefer Barry Manilow to Van Morrison. It's a big world. Try not to let it get to you.
