Greatest Hits is the fifteenth Crosby, Stills & Nash album, and their fifth compilation, released by Rhino Records in 2005. It peaked at #24 on the Billboard 200, debuting at that position on April 2, 2005 with first week sales of 33,000 copies, and spending eight weeks on the chart. Its current sales sit at over 640,000.[3] The album was dedicated to Cass Elliot with great thanks to Neil Young.

Content

The title is somewhat of a misnomer since two of the band's nine Top 40 hits from the Billboard Hot 100, "Woodstock" and "Ohio," do not appear. Both of these tracks feature Neil Young, who does not appear on any track on this set. Although "Our House", "Teach Your Children", and "Carry On" are on the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young album Déjà Vu, Young wasn't involved in those songs, allowing Greatest Hits to authentically be considered specifically a "Crosby, Stills & Nash" collection. The selections derive from the group's first four studio albums (Crosby, Stills & Nash, Déjà Vu, CSN, Daylight Again), but nothing from their last four (American Dream, Live It Up, After the Storm, and Looking Forward).

Greatest Hits contains some of the band's most well known songs, such as "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Teach Your Children", "Carry On", and "Southern Cross".
