how can someone who is an artist, your age and who likes so many other cool bands possibly be so closeminded about Neil?

I usually love Neil Young, but I'm not sure I dig this song

Tired of Neil Young? Get him out of your system in just 50 seconds!

Here's EVERY Neil Young song you've ever heard...

(click here)

I like the instrumentation, but the lyrics are just rambling. They don't even fit from sentence to sentence. And the tick..tock, ring..ring lines?? Ugh.

YES! It startled me -- I expected those gorgeous harmonies to come pouring out and was surprised when they didn't.

Edit: I mean, no it's not just you.

Hmm...Neil Young, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison. One of those things is not like the other.

His nasal tenor voice is not all that unusual. I always thought that he, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan went to the same singing lessons.

By the way, Frank Zappa has quite a few more records, but seeing that he is dead, I suppose Mr. Young has a chance to surpass Mr. Zappa.

Compared to his back catalogue, this is pretty week.

Tick Tock, waiting for this song to end.

Neil Young singing about Chris Rock? I need a drink.

yikes! is it me, or does the opening of this song sound just like the opening of 'find the cost of freedom?'

I love Niel Young, but its not for his voice; it's for his artistry and songwriting skills. If you don't like Niel Young you should probably suspend judgement until you've heard Decade, IMHO. Some of his best work is on there; I Am a Child, Southern Man, Ohio, Cinnammon Girl, Sugar Mountain. That "I shot my baby" song...

The guitar work on that ablum is really something too.

guy down the street from me looks exactly like Young. Kinda sings like him too....ho hum.

I was going to rip on you for ripping on Neil, but it looks like your're a Replacement's fan, so I'll let it slide.

I understand that Neil's nasal tenor voice might be a little too unusual for some.
However, Mr. Young has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice and is the most prolific artist I know (correct me if you know anybody with more records than him). For this alone, respect is in order.

Don't like him. Don't like this. All his stuff is too contrived. So there! (IMHO)

my favorite song from the album (except the Chris Rock part )

Like him, don't like this though. The whole thing is just too contrived.

Mr. Young is still a great songwriter. Amazing.

I've said it before and will say it again. Neil Young sucks.

I admire a radio station that plays material that polarizes opinion and deliberately plays less well known and, err, less popular tracks.

I may not care for this track, but I am glad I have heard it in place of some Neil Young track that i have heard a zillion times before. Ok twice before, then.

Market forces sure work in mysterious ways!

Put yourself in his shoes...in his 60's, a brain hemmorage scare, kids who never got a fair chance, and see what you come up with at that stage in your life. The guy is trying to make a difference in the world. Go Neil and Go Leafs Go. He knows what i am talking about.

Yes, no way to disagree with your assertion and its support. But we are here to enjoy, so I recommend tuning out the lyrics and concentrating on the musical parts!

You know, I've listened to this album a couple of times now, and tried to like it, and I've finally given up. There are a couple of good songs, and by and large the music is good; but the lyrics are just not up to his standard. If this album didn't have Neil Young's name on it, it would be a laughingstock. I'm talking about clumsy lines like this:

not to mention

He sounds like a beginning songwriter who's trying too hard.

Yuck.
