Best Neil Young Album?

Trans, closely followed by Everybodys Rockin

 

1) On The Beach
2) Ragged Glory
3) Zuma
4) Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
5) Sleeps With Angels

 

Harvest.
Tonight's the Night.
On the Beach.
After the Gold Rush.

These are all equal imo. Everybody Knows and his debut just behind them.

Harvest started me off with Neil so i'd call that my fav if i had to.

 

Freedom
Rust Never Sleeps
Harvest Moon

 

My vote is For Everybody Knows for studio, Live Rust for live.

 

I think he is as talented,

 

Album cover tbat complements the music.

 

Neil Young's debut album, a underrated masterpiece.
Buffalo Springfield esqe.
Jack Nitzsche's production at his lonely surfer best.

 

Agree with After The Goldrush.
Always wondered why it's sounds cruddy compared with his first two&Harvest.

 

Hmmm. Well,

Live at the Fillmore Archives release with Crazy Horse is pretty killer. But so are:

Rust Never Sleeps
After the Gold Rush
Tonight's the Night
Freedom
Silver and Gold
On the Beach

 

Best album cover.

 

Yeah, Young's debut album is evocative of the time earn, and Brautigan's slice of Americana pie.

 

Great cover. Everybody has a different interpretation of what it means.

 

You could pick any record between the self titled and RNS, plus Ragged Glory.

 

He had a second blast of greatness--following his first decade or so--from '89's Freedom through '94's Sleeps with Angels.

 

Pacific Apocalypse Highway.

 

Very true. SWA is a killer record, and greatly underrated.

 

My weird explanation---the headline of the newspaper under the table is the main clue--is that that's not Neil Young standing with his back toward us facing the sea. It's Richard Nixon, his hair grown out. The ( '59 ?) Cadillac tail fin sticking out of the sand symbolizes the end of the 1950's era just like the Statue of Liberty in the sand at the end of Planet of the Apes symbolizes a nuclear holocaust.....

 

I'm with you with the exception of tricky dicky.

 

Actually 'pose, could be a Sgt Pepper homage.

 

Yeah right.

 

Best selling album Harvest.
I think this is the album he'll be remembered for.

 

It was a spectacular LP. Kept it simple and well executed from cover to songs.

Tonight's the Night - raw, real, gritty, with a touch of sentimental melodicism. Everything you could ask for in a Young record. Now to get an 'Archive' version so we can enjoy the original intent.
