zuma
after the gold rush
everybody knows this nowhere
but if you really haven'theard any of this studio stuff, buy "decade" which is a two-disc retrospective, with many of neil's classic songs...
and...
harvest moon
freedom
these are two of his later albums that are worth picking up, as well... |

Decade is another good one (it's a 2cd best of his 70s stuff and I consider it a must have). I remember (sort of) many a night at university playing this album, everyone loved it. |

Marko,
Get Rust Never Sleeps first.
C10 |

| sirmoonie |
And then get Ragged Glory and Tonight's the Night.
Neil Young is one of those few artists for which Greatest Hits don't suffice, but Decade is kind of an exception to that rule since it is so comprehensive and well selected. |

I always come back to Ragged Glory as maybe his strongest, most consistent album. And it rocks like a mofo....

I love Broken Arrow, Marko. Loose Change is simply great - a terrific jam!
Most of Neil's classics have been mentioned here already (except my personal favourite - On The Beach. Although, Are You Passionate is a good album, it doesn't (imo) stand well with his "better" albums. My personal favourites, in order, are as follows:
1) On The Beach- 1974
2) Zuma- 1975
3) Tonight's The Night- 1975
4) Rust Never Sleeps- 1979
5) After The Gold Rush- 1970
If you like his live material, WELD, Rust Never Sleeps, Unplugged and LIVE RUST are all great.

100% get Decade. It's great.
Ragged Glory is my fave of his. It rocks so hard. No one has distortion like him. The songs are just brilliant. Fucking up, love to burn love and only love - these songs are stunning. The video of that tour is unreal.
Sleeps with Angels is not bad either. 15 minutes of "Change your mind" (about Kurt Cobain) is scarily powerful.
Zuma is pretty cool. A fun album.
Broken Arrow is just cant get into. Played it a few times, but never since it came out.

Picking a Neil Young album to recommend to someone who isnt that familiar with his material isnt easy because his style varies so much.
I would recommend you buy "Decade" which gives a good introduction to his career up to 1977.
The best studio albums IMO are pretty close to the ones LazyBones recommends.
Tonight's The Night (1975)
Ragged Glory (1990)
On The Beach (1974)
Rust Never Sleeps (1979)
Zuma (1975)
Even saying that, you might not 'get' "Tonights The Night". It sounds like it was done over a couple of nights in a series of first takes with all the participants stoned to the gills. In reality, thats pretty close to how it was. It's raggedness is a huge part of it's charm.
Also buy "Live Rust" (1979) and "Weld" (1991) for two fantastic examples of why Neil & Crazy Horse are one of the greatest live bands in history. |

Corgi mentioned "Ragged Glory" as being a real rocker and I conquer. "Live Rust" is a must own!!
cool to see some Neil fans here. Whats your takes on Greendale? |

A bit of an over-indulgence and a bit hit and miss - but an album I doubt any other major artist would have the balls to make - let alone take on the road and play in its entirety before it was released! |

terrible tracklisting. Obviously the 1983-87 period isnt there as he was on Geffen but the first twelve songs are all on "Decade" already and the last four songs cover a period in which Neil made ten studio albums for Warners/Reprise, many of which were amongst the most acclaimed and commercially successful of his career. |

Well,does 1983-1986 period have,this typical 1980ies sound?
Jethro Tull sounded awful in 1980ies.
I can get many of you listed very easily,only for 11euros,
each.So,i think i�ll buy them all anyways.And don�t get me
started with boots,not just yet.
Neils songs are very simple,but so enjoyable to listen.
I wonder why it took such a long from me,to start listening
him.Maybe the timing is right. |

No - his albums on Geffen were for the most part very untypical of anything he's done before or since. So much so that David Geffen actually tried to sue him for deliberately making records that didnt sound like Neil Young!
Those Geffen trouser-fillers in full were :
"Trans" (1982) - Neil discovers the vocoder and tries to sound like Kraftwerk for 6 of the 9 songs on the album. Its actually a decent album,and contains some very good songs although its like having two very different EP's on the same album. Not for everyone, though. Totally unlike anything else he's done before or since.
"Everybody's Rockin'" (1983) Six months later, Neil does an about turn and goes pseudo-rockabilly. The whole album lasts about 25 minutes and as well as a few originals, includes covers of "Rainin in My Heart", "Mystery Train" and "Bright Lights Big City". His voice doesnt really lend itself to rockabilly, though.
"Old Ways" (1985) - an unjustly overlooked country album compared to the much-lauded "Harvest" and "Harvest moon". Half of Nashville seem to be listed on the credits and theres duets with both Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Neil's singing is superb throughout, and it includes a gorgeous cover of the old 50's standard "The Wayward Wind" plus a cracking song called "Misfits" with bizarre lyrics about the crew in the space station watching Muhammad Ali reruns.
"Landing on Water" (1986) an album of pretty decent songs ruined in the studio with too much synthesizer and programming (like most Neil albums, many of the songs were recorded or performed live a year or two before the album was released. In this case, the originals were far superior). Only two songs are worth it IMO - "Violent Side" and the superb "Touch The Night" (a song which sounds like a cousin of "Like a Hurricane" and which was accompanied by a bizarre promo video). One of the worst albums he ever put out.
"Life" (1987) - back with Crazy Horse for the first time on a studio album in five years and a marked improvement. Its not brilliant, but has a few gems such as "Mid East Vacation", "Long Walk Home" and "When Your Lonely Heart Breaks".
Geffen also issued a compilation in 1993 of Neil's material on the label which Neil gave them for free as part of the agreement to get him out of his contract. Its called "Lucky Thirteen" and contains quite a few unreleased songs from the Neil Young Archives such as a great live track called "Dont Take Your Love Away From Me" and the original live version of "This Notes For You" which appeared in the MTV award winning promo video and was on the original "Blue Note Cafe" recordings which remain unreleased (the studio version is the title track of the first album he made after he returned to Reprise). Its not a bad album, although I dont think the previously released songs chosen for the track listing are really the best of his Geffen work.

That is a crappy best of. Get Decade!!!
It just seems so odd to have the 70's well covered, then nothing for 10 years! He should have waited until he figured his contractural shit out, like the Stones did with 40 licks.
What about the album with 10 men working and this notes for you? I liked that alot. Neil Young and the Blue notes wasnt it? Some good stuff on it.
Oh, and 1 more thing. Rocking in the free world is simply a awesome song. Brilliant as can be. A real anthem. But the clip is terrible. No, humiliating. Neil looks like he's joined Spandau Ballet.
