starting everybody knows this is nowhere rn

It’s still got a lot of Buffalo flavor to it, he definitely progressed so fast that he lapped himself immediately but its highs are like mountains

yeah AS&B is amazing. Ive listened to Will To Love like 300 times and Hurricane right after it makes for one of the hardest one-two punches in his discography.

Those two are absolutely insane, he’s thinking decades ahead in those tracks it’s crazy

One of them ones fr fr

it makes me so happy that yall were so quick to respond to this thread bc that just further lets me know just how f***ing perfect his music is. like everything i hear im just like wow it cant just be this consistently classic and clean but it always is

like its just perfect music

I think I need to make a Neil playlist to help new fans

recently made ones for Dylan and the unheralded mega goat Gene Clark of The Byrds, who any Neil fan should also love;

Neil one of the artists that both of my parents were obsessed with so I was lucky to grow up with him

i cant even imagine how great it was having this music to soundtrack your youth, but finding it now in my 20s makes me feel so grounded. with how disorienting this world can get this, his music is a great place to escape to

both ways are good

I was raised on Neil, Floyd, Van Morrison etc and have tremendous nostalgia built in which made diving into their discographies as an adult very rewarding.

but at the same time I didn't really hear a peep of Beatles, Stones, Kinks or Dylan and diving into their work was just as satisfying in a totally different way.

one of the most exciting things about life is that i have my whole life to discover music. like i could f*** around and wait till im in my 40s to get fully into the stones and that gives me something to look forward to

yeah nah I disagree kinda. ive been doing a serious Rollin Stones dive for 20 years already and still have some glaring blind spots. same with Dylan (my goat), Neil and a few other that never totally lost the juice and have dozens of albums worth checking out. the sooner you get on those guys the better.

also they're so foundational and influential on the genre that you want to be able to notice when a band does a Keith Richard lick or Charlie Watts fill. they were so influential on Neil alone that it would help enrich your dive into his work.

for example here's Neil doing a Stones

did you just hear Down By The River for the fist time

Just sat with Everybody Knows for the first time in a while. Immensely powerful stuff Jesus Christ

As you can see the post you quoted is from 8 months ago but go off man

Seeing Neil in the third row in a small ass theater in September w Chrome Hearts was so surreal and one of the best shows I’ve seen for sure

yes thats what im saying

I feel like you could sync Cowgirl up with the big bang/primordial ooze sequence from Tree Of Life and it would be amazing

New neil young and the chrome hearts (all lowercase) out now

Finally making a Neil playlist
