Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Crosby, Stills & Nash, released by Rhino Records in 2005. It peaked at No. 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. The album was dedicated to Cass Elliot with great thanks to Neil Young.

## Content

Although "Our House", "Teach Your Children", and "Carry On" are on the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young album Déjà Vu, Young was not involved in those songs, allowing Greatest Hits to authentically be considered specifically a "Crosby, Stills & Nash" collection, and as such does not contain any songs featuring Young. 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).
