Neil Young - Barn Documentary

Thanks for the thoughtful post.  The points you raise may partially explain the rush to find music from the 70s/80s/90s that I may have missed.  I'm a fan of BARN and count it as one of my best recent adds to my collection along with the recently released recording of Mr Young's Carnegie Hall concert.

"He doesn't really get spoken of when the topic of guitar players comes up, but I think he's truly top 10". 

I like Neil's playing but "top ten"?  Really? Compared to singer-songwriters like Richard Thompson or Bruce Cockburn (not to mention Johan Mayer), Neil's guitar playing is pretty primitive. But perhaps actual playing skill is not the standard you're using... care to explain? 

I was of course referring to John Mayer, not his German cousin, Johan...

Neil would almost need to be compared in a different category of guitarists.  Like grunge or hybrid grunge LOL - one thing for certain he is a rocker and has a consistent  tone when playing a rock song.  And that is very satisfying to me.

I was surprised to discover out that I have more NY albums than any other artist.

I forgot to mention @bigquery Barn is also one of my latest and best additions.
