ONE Favourite Neil Young Song

Today I'll go with:

"The Old Homestead."

 

Words (between the lines of age ) long version......

 

Lately I have a fairly difficult time making it through "Bandit" without wanting to cry. So it gets the nod.

 

'Sugar Mountain' and 'Old Man'. Timeless themes packed with insightful lyrics.

 

and another vote for cortez.

 

"Ambulance Blues"

 

What I appreciate about Neil is his music is so diverse, yet lots of material that stands up on its own. Different tunes for different moods.

I'm still discovering work he's done.

As far as tracks that haven't been suggested yet, I think this less-than popular tune is undeniably gorgeous and full of feels.

 

After The Gold Rush

After The Gold Rush

I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

 

AS disgusted as I am with Neil since post Greendale and Archives when I read all these posted songs and the ones not yet posted it reminds me of what an extraordinary writer he is/was!?

 

A Horse With No Name.

 

Sugar Mountain is the song that won me over to Neil...I have never tired of it, still love it today.

 

Wut?

 

Walk On

 

Everybody Knows this is Nowhere

 

Umm . . . you're joking, right?

Right?

 

On The Beach
Great song off of a great album.
I went to the radio interview
But I ended up alone at the microphone

 

Tin Man. (sorry)

 

"Look Out For My Love"

 

back on topic: today I'll nominate "What did you do to my life"

Ironically, "Heart of Gold" would be bumped from the charts by a clone---America's moronic "Horse with No Name". Young even received a congratulatory phone call from his father, who heard the record on the radio and assumed it was his son. Amazingly, Elliot Roberts immediately signed the band to a management contract, a bit of information that both Nitzsche and Mazzeo would use to wind up Neil. "I remember him callin' Elliot, yellin' and screamin'---'Waddya spendin' time with this copy band when you've got the original right here, Elliot?'"

Jeannie Field recalls Young showing up for dinner one night aroudn this time. "I was really surprised. He didn't usually hang out with us--it was so unusual. Well, I found out later that Elliot had brought America up to meet him, and Neil was so pissed off there was no way he was going to meet them. He was just hiding out."

 

this is hard.

Tin soldiers

 

"The Old Laughing Lady" (MTV Unplugged) kinda has it all.
