Today I went out and got only my second Neil Young solo LP (on Cass.) "After The Gold Rush",which features his 1st hit,"Only love Can Break Your Heart" and the very controversial,"Southern Man". I also have "Harvest" which gives us the classics,"Old Man","Needle and The Damage Done" and his only #1 hit,"Heart Of Gold".
In the CSN&Y dept. I naturally have,"Deja Vu". The whole LP is great,especially,"Our House","Teach Your Children" and the Joni Mitchell penned,"Woodstock". Five star material!
Then there's my lone Neil Young and Crazy Horse LP,"Rust Never Sleeps". Which,as most of us know,features Neil's loudest song ever,"Out Of The Blue and Into The Black",sometimes known as,"Hey Hey,My,My (Rock and Roll Will Never Die!" I believe he's toured with this album as a backdrop about 2 or 3 times. Even on ABC's early 90s late night show,"ABC's In Concert",which I still have on VHS.
It's hard to pick one over the other as better or worse,I like all of these periods of his career.
I don't have any of his 80s LP's though. I really don't know if he and that decade co-habitated well with each-other. All I remember of that is the song,"This Note's For You!",a song that skewers Madison Ave. and the artists who sell their songs I.E.:their souls,to commercial advertising just for the $$$. I think it had to do with Steve Winwood selling one of his songs for a beer ad. Anyway,any opinions? Thoughts or what have you? Got Neil Young? (Milk ad joke!) http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Been me,Out Of the Thread and Into the Net! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif
