I have always been in to old music, but for some reason I only discovered Neil Young 2 years or so ago. Thanks Neil you have helped me through some tough times

He has written some top songs no doubt.

Harvest is a great song.

"I was almost there at the top of the stairs"

I spent a lot of my teenage angst years listening to "After the gold rush"


I forgot to add that my young daughter can play all of the mouth organ part on "Heart of Gold" . I love that smile

Cowgirl in the sand, extended jam. Turn up to 10 and listen to the bass thumping away.

A sensational artist, I bought most of his albums as they were released but strangely didn't play them to death at the time. I vividly remember wanting to keep them safe for a time when I would more appreciate them, as I was being heavily influenced by other types of music at the time.
I finally picked them up again in earnest about 10 years ago, & although I of course have always known the songs well they somehow seem more personal to me now, & I listen to them more than any other artist now.

Go on, give Cortez the Killer a listen as soon as you can, genius song.

I quite like Neil Young - I have every album from 'Neil Young' to 'Live at Massey Hall 1971'.

Need to catch up with the latest stuff.

I'm a big Neil Young fan, seen him a few times now including with Crazy Horse. The Weld album is worth a listen if you're liking Cortez, there's a few tracks on there of the same ilk, however the best version of Cortez, IMO, isn't by Neil Young, but by the Dave Matthews Band w/ Warren Haynes from the Live at Central Park album (video on YouTube) - Warren's solos are incredible.

Neil Young kickstarted my interest in 'proper' music when I was 15...
went to see him at the NEC with my brother in law...that was 29 years ago...
a massive influence to me
