Had a long drive last weekend (crawled down the M6 motorway at 25mph in the pouring rain) with a strong Neil Young theme - played all of Decade and then again.... wonderful stuff! Lucky enough to have met a woman who shares my enthusiam for NY, RP and most things in general - this is for you Ceri!  |

If Neil was at that age today and made that home recording he'd have lilkely posted an .mp3, as he was an unknown. Where would he have posted it? I'd like to find some recordings by artists in the early age of their careers.

I usually agree with your sentiments on here, but I think you're on shaky ground with that one. If the principle is "if you can't do, don't criticise", then you'll only be able to criticise in the limited fields which you (general 'you', not you personally) are expert in. Which would mean that 99% of music listeners and consumers, who can barely play the triangle or sing a note in tune, couldn't criticise songs or artists. It would mean that you couldn't complain about your computer, say, unless you're an IT professional. Or moan about the bus service if you've never driven buses. And so on.
I agree with the OP that Neil Young's voice sucks. That's just a personal opinion, and I've major respect for him as a songwriter, but I'd rather hear a decent cover of a NY song than hear him sing it himself. The voice is just painful to these lugholes.
But Fred - C'mon man, Neil's voice is actually quite pleasant on this old ditty, no? |

The master (Neil) follows the students (Pearl Jam - There He Goes) - as it should be. Sublime

Yeah, I can sing the hell out of "Needle and the Damage Done," and even play the guitar. Doesn't mean I should.
Thank you! |

PLEASE... No More Neil Young... His whiny nasal style maybe/might have been/was cute 40 years ago... But now-? Not So Much-!

This song just says it all to me.
I usually listen to songs for their music, I listen to this one for the lyrics.

Don't ever let a "generation thing" get in the way of appreciating beautiful art. |
