Here’s a performer that evokes so many different opinions of his music that it’s almost impossible to list his songs in any particular order of greatness. Here are some that come to mind right away... Old Man The Needle and the Damage Done Heart of Gold Down By The River Cortez The Killer Ohio Only Love Can Break a Heart Cinnamon Girl Most likely you’ve heard all of those. They were quite popular. I think it’s important to get to know this subset before exploring the catalogue deeply. Some of the deeper cuts have such unusual chords and off beat vocals that you almost get lost if you don’t have a good base to work off. Yes I started on all those! Thanks for the recommendations! Heard them all except Cortez the Killer. Old Man, Heart of Gold, and Ohio are my favorites so far. Did you ever see this?:

Had not seen that articulations clip, but that’s Neil Young stripped down. Neil Young on a stool with a guitar and nothing else. No plugs and cords. No back up singers.Even better with no audience, but that never happens... Listen intently to Cortez The Killer, then you’ll be ready to move down into the deep tracks... |

Her’s a good start. Right after Cortez The Killer, keep the same theme with Pocahontas. The American Indian continues to be slayed. Then you might want to take just a short break from Neil to listen to Elton John’s “Indian Sunset”. Paul Revere and the Raiders “Cherokee Nation” would be an apt ending to the chapter before you re-enter the mystical web woven by Neil Young...

Such an amazing performance:
My favorite line:
"Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you" -Neil Young and all of kaybli's ex girlfriends.

Old man inger, look at my life 34 and no Grady Sizemore Live alone hoping for Bryce That makes me think of Shin Soo Choo Machado lost, such a cost Give me Sanchez that don't get signs crossed Like a CC that won't get tossed Sliding home to you
Old man, take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need baseball to follow
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my Torr(eyes)
And you can tell Leclerc that's true

I look at this land out here, knowing that the two massive buffalo herds, 600,000 in the Southwest, and 1,000,000 head in the Mid and North West were slaughtered to starve the American Indians. The meat was mostly left to rot, the hides sent back east to make belts for the machinery that was being invented and assembled. The skulls were piled 8-10’ deep to track the kill so the shooters could be paid.
We drove the families off their land, and now at least 20-30% of what we took belongs to the BLM (Bureau Of Land Management). Protected from development and destruction of it’s environment. We’ve made State Parks out of some of it. Then we’ve squeezed the tribes into the areas with the hottest weather and least rain, mostly desert. Places where the crops won’t grow.
How ironic is that? If only we had built immense ovens and gas chambers we could have joined some of the other monsters in the world and committed a quick genocide instead of slowly torturing and starving our victims to death. Truly a story even darker and more vile than slavery in our country’s history, and both fights were in progress at nearly the same time in history. Has more blood and terror ever spilled on one country’s soil at one time?...

Well, this old gizzard is heading for bed right now. Verse 2 is going to be harder to write. Neil got ‘er down pretty much perfect... |

Love Neil’s lyrics, but his whiny voice grates on me. Same with Dylan. Probably the best songwriter of his era, but his voice creeps me out. I will say that Like a Rolling Stone May be the greatest song ever written. He was almost booed off the stage when he plugged up and went electric with the song in England. Brave mofo back in 1965. I was only two years old then so I have no point of reference except my admiration for his early stuff.

Only wish OUR Children in OUR Schools would learn the TRUTH.

Any Neil Young fans out there? I've been going back on his catalogue and discovering his stuff. Hadn't heard most of it until recently. Any recommendations welcome. It's funny, I'm listening to Neil Young right now, on Spotify as I logged on to this website. Neil is my all time favorite artist and while, it's difficult to own everything he's put out, since he's catalog is so large, I do have a majority of his releases. I love almost everything he's done, form his grunge work with Crazy Horse, to his folk & country stuff and even the weird releases from the 1980's when he was with Geffen Records. A couple of his great albums that you should check out that are not mainstream and never receive any kind of radio airplay: "On The Beach" from the early 70's, during Neil's dark and depressed era and "Ragged Glory" from 1990, a hard rocking album he did with Crazy Horse. inger's list of Neil songs is great, however, I'd add two of my all time favorites, "Powderfinger" from Rust Never Sleeps and the electric version of "Rockin in the Free World" from Freedom. I've heard both of these tunes a million times and they never get old. I could add another 100 great Neil songs since there's so much to choose from but I need to get back to work! Enjoy the music!  |

Love Neil’s lyrics, but his whiny voice grates on me. You sound like my wife and kids, Chuck. My kids have been forced to listen Neil Young songs since they day they were born, my son once said, I love Neil Young's lyrics but I wish someone else could sing his songs. His voice is an acquired taste. |

Powderfinger is great and so is Rockin in the Free World. I will check out On the Beach and Ragged Glory too! Thanks for the recommendations CHI! I don't mind Neil Young's voice at all. Love that voice. |

I knew you'd be here, Chi. I remembered you saying you are a huge fan. I also figured you could give us some of those deeper cuts that we'd be less familiar with. I could never figure out why his voice sounded so much less creepy on the release "Heart Of Gold"... |
