The title track in particular is one of his best.

I remember the day I learned how to play and sing this song. I realised I was never going to have trouble getting laid for the rest of my life.

I have played many Neil Young songs and cannot remember sex resulting from any of them. I must be doing it wrong.

Try playing them for women.

You do indeed have that right. Forgot about that one, but I did run out and buy it right after seeing the film, and it emerges from time to time...

Of the more "traditional" Neil records, On The Beach wins for me. It's a good first date record.

If a woman I just met and was on my first date with, put on this record, I would be helpless.

Too bad you're married

I'm tired and wound up, so I'm going to comment on this, then re-read it in a day and revise my post (I bet) but here goes:

I don't think Neil has made any records that are 100% "bad". I just view them as sub-par. Knowing his history of quality control, such as it is, I can't legitimately call any of these aforementioned records crap.

I think even Landing On Water has its moments. I still have it on vinyl.

I have never ever heard a Neil Young record.

From the time I was a little kid, I've always really loved Rust Never Sleeps. The frst time I heard it, I just couldn't believe a guitar could sound so thoroughly nasty.

However, at this time my favorite would be a toss-up between Tonight's The Night and Zuma, with Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere not far behind.

I always thought both Trans and Reactor were intended as some kind of joke that got lost in the telling.

is there any tribute album to Neil ?
can someone poitn me toward some weirdos covers ?
except Winterlong by the Pixies...

I really like "Out On The Weekend" too - there's this certain chord he hits in the chorus that is just fantastic - but Harvest ain't Neil's best by a long shot. "Out On The Weekend" is one of the few songs on there I like.

This song really is amazing. The song Harvest is great also.
