Best Neil Young Album?


This may belong on one of the Neil Young's fan web sites but with the critical success of Greendale (his best effort in the last 20 years IMO) what is your favorite Neil Young album? Mine is probably Hawks and Doves with Zuma a close second.

The old, he can't sing tag eh? Beauty is in the eyes and in this case in the ears of the beholder. I'm sure a Jim Croce thread would light up with comments on their fave records also.

Hitting all the right notes can make for enjoyable listening but too often the perfect singers are boring and lifeless. I'll take the frog in the throat of Neil, Dylan or Lou Reed over most 5 octave masters.

That being said. I'm also surprised that people find anything of worth on most of his 80's Lp's, and that includes "Life". Would anyone listen to that record if it wasn't be Neil. And what is it with Hawks and Doves? The songs are ok but they don't stand up to his early to mid 70's records

Oh well too each their own, I'm just glad to hear that Neil is recovering from surgery and may finally get around to releasing his long awaited box set.

My sister has been trying to send me a video clip of Neil Young singing Down By The River backed up with Crosby, Stills and Nash on Hullabaloo, or some such show. It's absolutely the most wonderful example of those guys at their best. It is priceless. Okay, here's the deal. It's a bitch to do. Please, one very determined guy contact me. I will provide you with a link to retrieve it. I can tell you how to be able to view it but I'm unable to determine where the file resides so sharing it is impossible. It auto opens in WMP and a search says it's on the desktop but it's not. Whoever contacts me will be rewarded if you are a Neil Young fan. You do need to be a pc techie and I'd like you to share this with Neil Young fans if you can figure it out. I'm too busy to provide a link and instructions to everyone that might contact me so I'm asking one person to carry the torch. You will be amazed. It's priceless.
