I read Nei's autobiography the other week. For such a fine songwriter he is the polar opposite as a writer. However, it did contain loads of small snippits of info about where he came from and some of his influences. 

I'd recommend NOT to read it though as previously I had him pegged as an icon in my eyes and having never met him I thought he was deeper and a more wonderful a human being than he actually is.  

But hey. . . the music is still there and it still resonates with me so no harm done really.

Still listening after all these years automatically makes this a 10.

Neil Young began his career as "a folk singer, keepin' managers alive."  Ahmet Erdegun put him, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay together to make the should-have-been-a-supergroup Buffalo Springfield in 1966.  They released "For What It's Worth", a song that still gets lots of airplay here and elsewhere more than 45 years later.  The band's popular songs were by Stills, but Young really could swing his axe, arguably even better than Stills.  With 3 terrific vocalist/songwriters, two of whom were seriously talented guitarists, their 3 albums had any number of dynamite songs, not the least of which was Young's "Mr. Soul".  The band split primarily because of NY's star turn and the fact that Furay was on his way to becoming a preacher (he has a hip church -  oxymoron? - in Colorado, Boulder I think).

Young went solo, first with a "Why-I-left-those-zeroes" disc, eponymously titled, then the truly immortal "Neil Young with Crazy Horse".  That's still his best for my money.  It's one of the all-time studly rockers.  Go buy it if you don't have it.  It's not even a little dated, in spite of being 40.  He's known for great tunes with awesome guitar riffs and insipid lyrics.  His discography must be enormous, but went waaaay downhill after "Harvest" in 1973 (?).  Is that a start?

Love this song from waaaaay back, and I'm not embarrassed about it in the least.  It makes sense: "When you dance, I can really love."  Why, of course!!

Where do you start with this guy? He keeps shifting and changing what he wants to do - YES! he has slowed in recent years, but my goodness what a collection of music and the styles are so incredibly varied.

I saw him at his Bridge School Benefit - in Mountain View last year - simply amazing and so incredibly diverse...

I remember our walk back from the concert we all started asking ourselves, "Will the stars of today last as long?" Will we see the Jay-Z's and the Kanye Wests still make amazing music into their 60's

Who is current now that you can see still pumping out amazing music at an elderly age?
Beck? Pearl Jam?

When I lived in Monterey, we would drive up to Watsonville to buy fresh Brussels sprouts and artichokes straight from the farm, listening to Neil Young cranked up loud in the car both ways. {#Good-vibes}
