After the Gold Rush

is what everyone says.


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.


JGJug to thread...

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.


Tonight's The Night

I'm gonna get wasted and listen to this tonight. Tis one of my all time big ones.


get

ragged glory man


^^ essential

good call the dogg.

for "starters" just get Decade.


Hi!

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.


Sorry he's married

I like Zuma and tuff with crazy horse best. Don't like the more folky stuff really...


ragged glory

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


Get 'Re-Ac-Tor'

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.


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


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
