    I love Neil Young - you've gotta listen to a few albums and see which period hooks you in. I like Deja Vu (CSN&Y), Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Harvest, After the Goldrush, there are so so many good albums in his catalogue (plus a couple of stinkers like Reactor).

    Even his recent pieces like Silver and Gold and Greendale stand head and shoulders about other big commercial rock albums in terms of listenability in the long term.

    The Dead Man soundtrack is fantastic. He improvised the entire thing and it was all done in one take. They locked him into a private cinema with a bunch of instruments and equipment and he composed the entire thing while watching the film for the first time!

    Reccommended film as well.

    This is the album that really made me like neil young. Perfect chillin out on a fall day kind of record. The song writing is great and the production is incredible. I would love to know what they did in the studio to make the drums sound so full.

    "Harvest moon" makes my life feel like a Mastercard commercial. What a song.

    Sorry my man, but you can't live on sugar mountain with the barkers and the colored balloons. Live Rust has to be one of the best live albums ever made.

    All the stuff he did with Crazyhorse is solid. I saw them when Sonic Youth was the opening act, the folkies in the crowd didn't know to shit or go blind.

    I only have really listened to that song "Old man lying by the side of the road." Makes me cry.

    The first time I really "got" Neil Young was on a lazy sunday afternoon in Santa Barbara, lying in bed with the window open, post-coital, and my neighbor put on that song. Damn. What a memeory.

    oof, my neighbr was a dude, literally he was the dude from lebowski. No job, unemployed, on schizo medicine, fat pot belly, long hair, smoked joints on the porch, he even made a record in 1981 that he gave me. But no, I didnt fuck him.

    Is this pic of a poster that you have or have seen? I have to get my hands on that.

    As for neil, you need to be in the right mood to listen to him, but if you are, no one beats him. He's not the most technically gifted guitar player, but he makes up for it with emotion.

    The one that hooked me was "Zuma"-- a couple of the songs are just so funky to me-- but I celebrate almost his entire catalog. He writes melodies so well that after a little bit of listening I learned to love his voice. Pretty much all of his 70s LPs are great other than "Journey Through the Past" and "Stars 'n' Bars." I've never gotten into "Tonight's the Night," but I'm in the minority there.

    i think Stars n Bars is absolutely and completely great.
    i think my favorite LP might be After the GOld Rush.

    i think this might be in Shakey, but the thing about Neil Young is that his songs are so structurally solid. the dude, somehow, really knows how to write a song. Strong melodies, chord progressions, lyrics, are almost always in evidence.

    one of my all time favorite Neil songs is Thrasher. but its impossible to pick a favorite- so many good ones.

    "Zuma"

    YES. "Danger Bird" is that ultimate business. It's recently replaced
    "Cortez The Killer" as my solo weed/beer/reflection anthem.

    Mr. Young has been on Conan O' Brien all week.
    Last night he did "The Needle and The Damage Done" solo.

    Speaking of, Danny Whitten's playing on the first Crazy Horse LP is
    something else. RIP.
