Default Neil Young- Whats your favourite album/period?

EDIT: I would like to ask the Mods not to merge this with the 'Neil Young' post that Rezz pointed out as this thread is solely focusing on the Favourite Album/Period of his music rather than just a general discussion on Neil Young.
This way I should be able to attract posters who have a deep interest in Neil Young's works rather than 'casual fans' who have only heard
'Heart Of Gold' or 'Rockin' In The Free World' for instance.
If this could be allowed I would be most grateful.


Alrite this is a thread dedicated to discussing Neil Young's lengthy career spanning from late 60s right through til present day.

Throughout his career he has constantly changed; baffling fans & winning new ones in the process; but has still managed to remain relevant throughout 4 generations due to his immense talent in songwriting not to mention his enormous stage presence & technical ability.

Personally, I do not know anyone who doesn't like Neil Young.

My personal favourite period(s) of his career is in his later works from
80s & 90s but especially 90s.
My favourite album usually juggles between;
Ragged Glory (1990), 'Mirrorball (With Pearl Jam)'- (1995) &
'Sleeps With Angels (1994) ;depending on what mood i'm in.

I find it too difficult, on a whole to rank his best album of his career so Ive done a decade by decade ranking of what i think is the best albums from that period, which I think is a fairer solution.

60s:
1) Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969)
2) Neil Young(Debut) (1968)

70s:
1) After The Gold Rush (1970)
2) On The Beach (1974)
3)Zuma (1975)
4)Tonight's The Night (1975)
5)Comes A Time (1978)
6)Harvest (1972)
7)American Stars N Bars (1977)

80s:
1)Trans (1982)
2)Landing On Water (1986)
3)Freedom (1989)
4)This Note's For You (1988)
5)Re-Actor (1981)
6)Old Ways (1985)
7)Life (1987)
8)Everybody's Rockin' (1983)
9)Hawks & Doves (1980)

90s:
1) Ragged Glory (1990)
2) Mirrorball (With Pearl Jam) (1995)
3) Sleeps With Angels (1994)
4) Broken Arrow (1996)
5) Harvest Moon (1992)

2000s:
1) Praire Wind (2005)
2) Chrome Dreams II (2007)
3) Are You Passionate (With Booker T & The Mgs) (2002)
4) Greendale (2003)
5) Living With War (2006)
6) Silver & Gold (2000)
7) Fork In The Road (2009)

Live Albums:
1) Weld/Arc (1991)
2) Unplugged (1993)
3) Live Rust (1979)
4) Rust Never Sleeps (1979)
5) Road Rock Vol.1 (2000)
6) Year Of The Horse (1997- Havent got yet).

P.S. I am aware I havent bothered to include Buffalo Springfield.
Also I missed out the Eldorado Ep as it only has about 4 or 5 tracks (not all exclusive) so I wouldnt class it as a proper album.

I also dont have the extremely rare 70s live album 'Time Fades Away'.
I saw it for around £150 on amazon recentley & thought f*ck that lol.
