"Younger Than Yesterday" had a huge impact on me when it came out. I
was a big Byrds fan already, but that album saw the emergence of Chris
Hillman as a serious songwriter...and would turn out to be the last
studio album in which David Crosby was a part of the band. Later Byrds
albums were good and I bought a couple of them, but the band no longer
held that special place in my heart.

Yes, that album was one of my favorites. My favorite songs were "So
You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star' and 'Mind Gardens', with possibly
'Thoughts and Words' behind the two I just mentioned.
