* CreatorKiller: ''American Dream''. Music/NeilYoung's relationship with the rest of the band (credited as just Crosby, Stills, and Nash on albums without Young) quickly grew tenuous the moment his solo career took off, but as Young fell into a deep AudienceAlienatingEra in TheEighties while CSN had a CareerResurrection with their 1982 album ''Daylight Again'', Young decided that he would finally rejoin the band provided that Music/DavidCrosby kicked his drug habit. However, given Young's mercurial tendencies, he wound up directing most of the project in order to keep him from [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walking out]]. ''American Dream'' was heavily hyped as their long-awaited reunion and comeback, but while initial sales were excellent, the album itself, a disjointed mess leaden with awful lyrics and production that lacked any sense of sonic cohesion, was later described by Young's own biographer as "the most wretched album [he] has ever lent his name to... a digital nightmare completely ill-suited to the folk-pop quartet." With the exception of Young, even the band's members themselves hated the album. Young would subsequently ditch the band, turn his own career around in the late '80s and '90s, and emerge as an elder statesman of rock, but the rest of the band spent its days playing the nostalgia circuit until their official breakup in 2015.
* DenialOfDigitalDistribution: In 2022, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash issued a statement that they would be removing the group's music from Spotify as well as their solo projects in solidarity with bandmate Music/NeilYoung, who had previously pulled his catalogue from Spotify in protest against their hosting of Creator/JoeRogan's podcast ''The Joe Rogan Experience'', which Young and the members of CSN claimed promoted vaccine misinformation.[[note]]They all quickly reversed it. There's no evidence their music was ever actually removed from Spotify.[[/note]]
