FAO Neil Young fans...
 

Just reading a bit about Neil Young and have decided to give him a listen. Before i go on the hunt for some albums can anyone suggest me some.

- What are your favourites? Why?
- What moods/emotions/pace do they have? i.e. calm / heavy rock/ country etc

Cheers all. :rolleyes:

just get his greatest hits album. I have that here but Im Indoors probably has his back catalogue.
I like Cinnamon Girl because it spawned a version by Type O Negative
Like A hurricane because it was covered by the Mission
Rockin in the Free world, as I remember him accompanying Pearl Jam on the MTV awards years ago and singing it live

just listen to the lot

I like the one with crazy horse, stuff like mansion on the hill etc.

and he is the Godfather of grunge of course ;-)

Re: FAO Neil Young fans...
 

saw an interview with him once.
Brill.
He played what he wanted when he wanted ,and sod the publicity.

Saw him at Reading one year and his backing band was Pearl Jam. Class act. Still love hearing Rockin In The Free World.

Mirrorball was the album he had out at the time? More rocky than his older stuff.

Love Neil Young, and Crosby Stills Nash and Young too - takes me back to my yoof :cool:

Re: FAO Neil Young fans...
 

Harvest is his most classic album. It's mellow hippyish rock. If you only every buy one Neil Young album, then make this the one.

For loud grungy rock, I'd recommend the double live album 'Weld'.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I reckon posters in this thread might like this piece of awesomeness:

get everything bar the stuff in the 80's (its a bit ropey)

The guys a star went up to Aberdeen last year (I think) to see him, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been too, he basically played the same set at Glasto a couple of days later...

Best thing he's ever done for me though is Rust Never Sleeps - Sail Away is probably my favourite song by him. I just love the sentiment of it;

See the losers in the best bars
Meet the winners in the dives
Where the people are the real stars
for the rest of their lives


thats its I'm going to listen to him for the rest of the day :)
