we'll see though, i've been able to see whats so great about bands with much less to say.

I can certainly see why the music would not appeal to you, but what do you mean "i've been able to see whats so great about bands with much less to say."

Neil Young is on of the most outspoken and politically relevant acts of the last 40 years.

I think he's saying he should like him because of that.

Son of JayJamJah · 08-12-2009, 01:45 PM

That's exactly what I am unclear on. Does he not like him because he doesn't have a message or does he think he could like him because his music has a message...?

Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush, Harvest and Rust Never Sleeps.

I would speculate that the MB community at large doesn't really fit comfortably within the Neil Young demographic, but his work with Crazy Horse, in my opinion, would be a lot more accessible and interesting to many of the posters on here than his milder solo albums.

I only have Harvest and, to be honest, I haven't really given it much of a chance. I'll abstain 'til I've a) done that and b) heard another album or two. Safe to assume he's getting to the next round anyway though.

It's a yes from me. I was never much into him until I saw him live in January at a festival and it was pretty amazing.

Absolute yes. Here are some links for the unsure people out there, some of my favorite Young songs. Actually I would vote yes if these songs were the only songs he wrote. I think they're that good.

Don't really like him, but he seems famous enough.

He' written so many classic and timeless tunes, that one time or another nearly everyone has heard, Heart of Gold may be one of his best known songs, but it has such a resonance no matter what age your are... you gotta give the guy a yes vote!
