nahh, i feel like its relatively rare for an artist's biggest hit to also be their absolute best (besides one hit wonder type artists ofc) its very natural for fans to like the deeper cuts or lesser hits more, doesnt have to be necessarily elitism all the time

youre telling me kokomo isnt a top 3 beach boys song???

Crosby Still Nash And Young were hyped up to be The Beatles of the 70s for a couple years there too bad cocaine is a hell of a d*** and Neil had to leave them in crystal canyons

crosby is so funny these days on twitter

he’s you’re typical dad oldhead anti rap dude

one friend one time pranked him and he didn’t get the joke he took it as a compliment bc yes crosby replies to everyone there

think it had something to do with mocking this artwork iirc:

it is probably his most popular song ever, but i do not think it is one of his best, although it is quite great. thus in my opinion its overrated. no argument involved

his songs i think are better either have more emotional resonance/lyrics that hit with me more, melodies that are more compelling to me or instrumentation i like better (ie his heavy guitars and solos, crazy horse rhythm section). i dont like the drumming on Harvest very much, just strikes me as generally plodding, so thats also part of why i prefer live Heart of Gold versions with just acoustic guitar. not at all saying simplicity is bad, but for someone as good as lyrics as neil its easy for him to outdo a song like that with some deeper more poetic s*** or something that can make me cry. or a more impassioned vocal

still a 8-9/10 song for me
