An awesome thread but I have a feeling a mod will merge it with

My favorite era of the mighty Young has to be 60's 70's. Like most other artists it seems to be the beginning of truly great rock music.
Pretty good synopsis here, but with his recent albums I dont see how you could put those four above Living With War. That album is great. His muddy fuzzy tone is wonderful and the message of the album sure hits home to anyone alive for the last 10 years.
Maybe its just my general hate towards most 80's music, but like most artists 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)
were a low point for me. Something about that 80's big band type of sound just turns me off. Now I haven't heard all those albums but I don't doubt that they have there strong similarities.
edit: I really need to listen to Tonight's The Night and some more live albums. Whats your take on
Tonight's The Night?
