Neil Young

As you are new to Young's music, After the Gold Rush is perfect for you. It's exactly that country, folk-rock style that Young is playing almost all the time, and it is very very good, the first 5 songs are just fantastic. Then, of course, the Harvest Moon precursor, Harvest - my absolute favorite Young album. It is a little bit stranger, because of songs such as "Words" which is very psychedelic-orientated, but it's soo damn good. If you find Harvest first, buy it, you won't be disappointed at all, it's just that there are 3-4 songs that aren't this folk-rock style, but every song on the album is just magnificent.

I'm sure this got mentioned somewhere in the previous 141 posts about Neil....but I just wanna say my favorite work of his, is the rust never sleeps concert film. From the sweetness of "sugar mountain", to the wonderful distortion of " hey hey, my, my" ....if I could only own one body of work by him, this would be it. And yes I know, no " heart of gold" ...lol....

I also think that is great footage as well.

Neil Young is an amazing guitarist/vocalist. I love the album Harvest Moon.

Has anyone noticed the remarkable similarities of "Mr. Soul" to songs like "Think" or "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones? There's actually a guitar burst throughout of "Think" that could practically be sampled in a part of "Mr. Soul," as well as both songs having very similar guitar styles. I was wondering too, though, if the little multi-guitar melody solo section of "Mr. Soul" used any other familiar guitar melodies? I love all the little bursts in that section, they're all so charming.

Yes, I have noticed the similarities between "mr soul" and "satisfaction", quite a while ago actually. I thought I had discovered that the legendary stones riff had actually been ripped off of the not so popular buffalo Springfield song, but then I remembered that the stones had released that song quite a while before Springfield.

I hadn't heard "Mr. Soul" until i saw Neil live, and when it first started i was like "whoa he's playing Satisfaction, right on" and then he started the first verse and i was like "whoa REMIIIX!" but i was wrong.

Neil has a real a total crush on the Stones, just look at Borrowed Tune. it's inappropriate

I had "Mr. soul" stuck in my head for days leading up the Buffalo Springfield concert I saw.

Listening to Neil Young at 6 in the morning sitting in a cold room beside a radiator. Job!

Man needs a maid is my favorite song of Neil Young. But my favourite album is After the gold rush. I like his voice and hid passionate guitarre playing.
