His songs are timeless and whilst he produced alot of crap songs he also produced some of the best songs ever written. The number of times blowin in the wind was covered is insane. I think its unfair to compare neil young to the most influencial musical artist of the last century. He is undoubtedly mroe refrenced as being an inspriation to musicsians and celebrities in general over the beatles and even elvis.
