I wouldn't be a massive Neil Young fan but got into him around the time of his MTV unplugged (incidentally Nirvana's absolute classic was around the same time). Anyway my 3 favourites would be:

Like a Hurricane
The Needle & the Damage Done
Rockin' in the Free World

Home Home on the range (cover of folk song)
Four Strong Winds
Long May You Run

Dont know Neil Young's stuff that well , but I don't mind Harvest Moon and Heart of gold , but I really have to be in the right mood to listen to them.

Why do I picture Homer Simpson when I see Keep on Rockin in the free world mentioned ? Did he sing that once?

Four Strong Winds is a cover too, brilliant song.

Like A Hurricane
Only A Dream
Welfare Mothers

Saw him live in Belfast few years back, awesome gig, you could see he was up for it.

Hard to narrow it down.

Powderfinger
Winterlong
Like a hurricane
Long may you run
Pocahontas
Be the rain
Tired eyes

I saw him with Pearl Jam at the RDS in 1995. Full rock-out

Puckoon · April 12, 2024, 09:35:54 PM

For a man who's voice I struggle with, I still love his songs. His affiliation with Pearl Jam is awesome as well

Ohio
The Needle and the Damage Done
Old Man

Honorables:

Hey Hey My My
Cinnamon Girl
Throw your hatred down (PJ featuring NY)

Neil Young like Dylan has written so many good tunes, hard to pigeonhole him in a genre, he was grunging long before Grunge, his country stuff is awesome as well. Not a classic guitarist he none the less knows how to get it done. Check out Cortez the killer great guitar intro and a telling commentary on the invasion of the Americas by Europeans.
