The walrus and the carpenter from Crosby, Stills & Nash.

David Crosby and Graham Nash had a kind of love/hate relationship over the years that didn’t preclude them from teaming up to release a handful of albums under the Crosby-Nash brand. Their first album is their best, featuring a pair of hits in “Immigration Man” and “Southbound Train.” The albums that followed filled the gaps in between the Crosby, Stills & Nash reunions. Both Wind on the Water and Whistling Down the Wire went gold, at which point the pair went their separate ways. Except, of course, they didn’t, re-appearing as CS&N numerous times over the years. In 2004, the pair surprised many by reuniting for the double-disc Crosby-Nash in 2004. Their music together is similar to their solo efforts but with better harmonies; despite their differences, they did seem to bring out the best in each other, at least musically.
