Not really. To be honest, I haven't really listened to any of his stuff in the past couple of decades. I stick mainly with late 60s and the 70s

uh Uncle Neil

.... very fine taste Lester

Godfather of the grunge
he's an absolute Legend with a so vast catalogue .. what he did in acoustic, electric (distorted too), folk, rock and on and on, made school for so many
his late 60's-70's production is just awesome .. Neil Young, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After The Gold Rush, Harvest, On The Beach, Tonight's The Night, Zuma .., Comes A Time, Rust Never Sleep .. all in a row

i can't really stand his experimental electronic period of the 80's but at the end he came out with such an album like Freedom (keep on rocking in the free wooorld) and he turned back in good .. Ragged Glory, Sleep With Angels (Kurt

) .. till the well known here in this topic Mirror Ball.
latest works are still good enough (compared to what came from the past) and cool he opened his Archives since mid 00's
saw him last time in 2008 and he was still in a great form

not to forget Buffalo Springfield and CSNY of course

I SHOULD be a fan of Neel Young...love grunge....love the Merkinball EP...love a lot of classic rock...from Canada...he joined PJ on stage last Sept at the show I attended....but aside from his MEGA-hits (solo or in the various bands he's been part of) I've never really listened to that much of his music.

I think songs like "Piece of Crap" are quite...funny....even though I assume there's probably supposed to be some sort of irony in there.

...another good point!

When I was in my teens, I found myself listening to somewhat heavier stuff (GNR, Led Zep, etc. and later Nirvana, PJ, etc.) and the radio stations around here tended to play Neil's "folksier" stuff - which I wasn't really into. I suppose that's why I never really got into Bob Dylan either.

Good to know there are some fans here. And if you haven't ever listened to Ambulance Blues, please do so. One of my 10 favorite songs of all time.

I should really look back into his catalogue - see what PJ thinks the fuss is all about. Have to admit I prefer hearing EV sing RITFW over Neil

Agreed... It's EV's vocals I try to draw some kind of inspiration from when I'm singing it.

Had to sing that tune quite a few times to fill in for our singer (and actually once during a show), since my band had it in our setlist last summer. Fun one.

RITFW is a great, straight-ahead, rock n' roll tune, for sure.

I also really dig PJ versions of Baba O'Riley. I realize that it'll always be a "Who song" but I think Eddie and the guys really nail it.

I never got into Neil Young much,his voice always turned me away....Dave Matthews,Eddie Vedder both love Neil Young and I like their versions of his tunes much better.... both DM and EV would slap me for saying that Im sure...lol

Matt..I have another suggestion..how about a Mansfield mix...called simply..3 nights in Mansfield '03 ??

That's a good idea - one that I had considered a while back. You do indeed get a TONNE of tunes over those three nights (no Last Exit, unfortunately) - and I was in Boston in 2003 (saw the BoSox, not PJ). However, I won't start making smaller mixes until AFTER I have made my 2003 MEGA-mix that covers both NA legs.

You still helping me with that, Ed?
