After the Gold Rush and Harvest are my favourites, but I've not heard much. If you want to "get into" him as in learn a bit about him, the 33 1/3 book about Harvest is great.
I've missed the boat on this one a bit...
Er..buy all the albums up to, but not including Comes a Time, then buy Rust Never Sleeps and the Massey Hall and Filmore live reissues. Then buy Sleeps with Angels and Ragged Glory (and maybe Comes a Time if you fancy it).
Then pick around the rest apart from Landing On Water, which is by a long stretch his worst album.
On The Beach and Tonight's the Night should be next though.
is seriously the best young/horse record since danny whitten junked it, has some real raw leads, total sunday afternoon stoner jam vibes, plus mother earth is on some spiritual shit
its brilliant. underated IMO. Its not the place to start though. dylanesques list is pretty difintive as starting points.
Re-Ac-Tor, Ragged Glory and Mirrorball are all worth checking out, but are secondary in priority. Trans is pretty bad, but worth listening to too, as an insight into his psyche, i.e. his constant impulse to evolve.
has some class joints on it, love surfer joe and motor city but man "ssssssssssssshots" cracks me up every time i hear it and t-bone is like 9mins and 9secs too long
After the Gold Rush
is what everyone says.
This is the correct answer
I concur
used to have it on Vinyl. Mmmmmm.
And to think I once thought 'Only Love Can Break Your heart' was a St Etienne song! :(
This ^
Apart form the ST Eteinne thing.
Harvest
Harvest Moon
After The Goldrush
Thank you!
After the Gold Rush it shall be.
i'll report back and demand more.
aw
Do not listen to this person
How can Harvest Moon in anywhere Neil Young's top 3 albums?
Get:
Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere
After The Goldrush
Tonight's The Night
On The Beach
Rust Never Sleeps
Zuma
Harvest
That covers his heyday. And buy the other tunes from Decade on iTunes.
be not in
I didn't say it was in his top albums
Just a good place to break someone in, without all the freakout guitar solo crap to wade through no?
Plus
My other two suggestions is what he started with (and enjoyed), so cheer up you bellend.
wow, so far this album
is exceedingly good.
so many classics
everybody knows this is nowhere
rust never sleeps
ragged glory
on the beach
tonight's the night
harvest
after the goldrush
listening to harvest now
and it's very good as well.
i knew i'd like neil young, so this makes me very happy.
Zuma
No-one's mentioned that one yet...
Plus of course:
Harvest
After the Goldrush
Rust Never Sleeps
Live at the Fillmore East (EXCEPTIONALLY good live album. Probably better once you know the songs though)
Also check out CSNY!
Seconded.
Been listening to the live album solidly for the last few days. Brilliant! What a bill too, NY & CH with Miles Davis.
best song on after the goldrush?
for me it's got to be Don't Let it Bring You Down. Sends shivers down my spine.
souuu-thaaaarn mayyyynnn

Sorry he's married
I like Zuma and tuff with crazy horse best. Don't like the more folky stuff really...
ragged glory

Get 'Re-Ac-Tor'
its brilliant. underated IMO. Its not the place to start though. dylanesques list is pretty difintive as starting points.

Freedom
is good for a nice selection of acoustic songs done with some electric oomph.
reactor
has some class joints on it, love surfer joe and motor city but man "ssssssssssssshots" cracks me up every time i hear it and t-bone is like 9mins and 9secs too long
shots is the best song on it
On the Beach
I'm a big fan with the whole collection. I would honestly say that On The Beach is my most returned to LP.
There is something magic about it. I would recommend to start there.
I thought
you meant sexually wanted to 'get into him'
o_o
don't bother
he's not worth it
