As stated above his solo stuff is different to the stuff with Crazy Horse. Most of his solo stuff is rooted in country and folk and albums like "After the Gold Rush" with its blistering Southern Man and "Harvest" are good places to start, as is the album around the same era with Crazy Horse "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere" which contains two gems in Cinnaman Girl and Cowgirl in the Sand. Then from there go to another album with Crazy Horse called "Zuma" with the outstanding Cortez the Killer, this by the way is my personal favourite album in his catalogue and then "To Rust Never Sleeps" also with Crazy Horse.
I think after listening to these you will know if Neil Young is to your liking or not. If you are more inclined to like straight up rock music as opposed to country/folk rock then the stuff with Crazy Horse is more recommended.
Also dig out a copy of the Jim Jarmusch film ""Year of the Horse" which focuses on the band in the 90`s where their music is displayed at its grungiest best where the group simply blow you away.
