Best Neil Young Album?

After the Gold Rush ... and probably because it coincides with the time Neil was first with CSN&Y.

An interesting follow-up question would be ... "what are Neil Young's best performances on record?" My votes would go with ... Buffalo Springfield "Retrospective;" CSNY "Four Way Street;" and CSNY "Deja Vu" and while we are at it, the best cover of a Neil Young song is Roxy Music's "Like A Hurricane."

I was at the Live Rust concert at the Cow palace. In fact, my buddy and I were sitting just below where the photograph was taken from (the mixing board). My favorites are American Stars & Bars,Comes aTime, Zuma( Cortez the Killer is a "killer"), Harvest...You know I really can't think of a bad one, they're all so different.

Hawks and Doves
After the Gold rush
Tonight's The Night
One The Beach
Neil Young self titled (first album)
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Zuma (classic...esp the CSNY cut)
Comes A Time
Harvest
And.....Old Ways.... these are all classics

1. Harvest
2. Decade (i know picking a "best of" Album is cheating)
3. Live Rust
I love Neil Youngs concerts... I know of no other performer who can perform the most organic delicate songs and then crank it up with a scorcher. I think of all the 60's/70s' artist he still has something to say. For some reason his albums always take some time to grow on me.

I simply can't pick one, depending on my mood almost all can be his best. I second the live concerts, I've lost count of the number I've been to, wish I could have live recordings of all of them.
