Desert Island Neil Young

Looks like it's ' Ragged Glory' for me followed closely by 'Rust Never Sleeps' which has Thrasher and Powderfinger on it.
 
Surely there is only one answer :D

Which also happens to be my fave NY record with Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere a close second which, keeping the desert island theme going, has this on it.

Pretty good choices there. It’s all about your mood.
I’m bit lost over the last four years?
 
Ah, but Desert Island Discs called for a selection of tracks, not albums...

OK. I'll play.

1 - Powderfinger (from "Live Rust")
2 - Like a Hurricane (from "American Stars and Bars")
3 - Crime in the City (from "Weld")
4 - Revolution Blues (from "On the Beach")
5 - Words (from "Journey Through the Past")
6 - After the Gold Rush (from "After the Gold Rush")
7 - Cinnamon Girl (from "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere")
8 - Rockin' in the Free World (Electric) (from "Freedom")

If I had to save one Neil Young album, it would have to be "Live Rust" as it was the first album of his I bought and contains a lot of his best songs (if not his best versions), a good blend of electric and acoustic. Lots of memories tied with it.

Fab, got all those. Will put on Words on tonight, i can't remember it.
 
I can't live without EKTIN, On The Beach, Tonight's The Night, Zuma, or Ragged Glory. Honorable mention to American Stars & Bars and Hawks & Doves. And in an alternate reality, Homegrown.

Especially Zuma.
 
I’ve been a Neil Young fan since he was in Buffalo Springfield the album for me is “ Everybody knows this is nowhere “

Regards,

Martin
 
My 8 desert island officially released Neil Young acoustic live performances. Today.

Stringman (Odeon Budokan)
After the Goldrush (Live at the Cellar Door)
Birds (Live at Canterbury House 1968)
The Losing End (Songs for Judy)
Don't Let it Bring you Down (Massey Hall)
Journey Throught the Past (Massey Hall, although the barroom piano version on Songs for Judy comes close second)
Old Laughing Lady (live at the riverboat)
Campaigner (Songs for Judy)
 
Since 2023 started have been listening to less and less music, however, Neil Young is somewhat of an exception:

Top tunes have been:

Razor Love (Silver & Gold)
Horseshoe Man (Silver & Gold)
Already One (Comes a Time)
Four Strong Winds (Comes a Time)
Natural Beauty (Harvest Moon)
Harvest Moon (+ some good covers out there on YouTube)
Southern Pacific (Reactor)
Bound for Glory (Old Ways)

Apart from Southern Pacific, all are highly reflective and stray well into C&W territory, something that I normally avoid but he manages it with such aplomb.
 
1) Cowgirl in the Sand
2) Tonight's the Night
3) For the turnstiles
4) Revolution Blues
5) Cortez the Killer
6) Motion Pictures
7) Sugar Mountain
8) Sea of Madness
 
Cortez the Killer
The Needle and the Damage Done
Helpless
Pochahontas
Hurricane
Southern Man
Cinnamon Girl
Heat of Gold
 
That's a tough choice. If it's an album I think it would have to be Weld, primarily due to what I feel are amazing versions of Cortez the Killer and Like a Hurricane. As to a collection of individual tracks, perhaps:

Tonight's the Night
Cortez the Killer
Like a Hurricane
Don't Let it Bring you Down
Crime in the City
The Needle and the Damage Done
Southern Man
Alabama
Heart of Gold
On Broadway
