The Best Neil Young Albums Ranked

My favorite 13 albums

[@richardbooth6063]

Love Neil Young...great list and there are a few I want to check out from your list...However, Zuma...has to be on any top Neil Young list. Danger Bird is in my top 10 all time songs by Neil...Barstool Blues....Lookin for a Love...Don’t Cry No Tears and of course Cortez the Killer make this an essential record...It helped me get through my Navy days sailing around the world

[@robertcooper411]

Have you heard the live version of "Barstool Blues"?(Year of the Horse album) It's great!

[@richardbooth6063]

@@robertcooper411 Yes !!! Great extended jam on that song!...I also like Danger Bird from that album! I saw Neil with Booker T & the MGs in 1993...He was good without Crazy Horse too...Wonderful show!!!t

not to mention, Stupid Girl ... an all-time great post breakup angst-filled high school kid's tune.

@@robertcooper411 So much better than the studio version. Live he always adds something.

[@luisacosta8535]

When I heard After the Gold Rush the first time I fell in love with Neil Young and after 50+ years I still play this album when I felt bored about the kind of music they play nowadays. Such a great album and I certainly love most of his folk and melodic albums, too.

[@MrJacrider]

So great you included Massey Hall. An absolutely fantastic sounding album. Love his conversation with the crowd between songs.

[@jaisabai4155]

Well done sir. Been a big fan of Neil since I discovered him in the early 70s. I have most of these 13 on vinyl stored away at home including "Decade" signed by Neil after an excellent concert in Australia.

[@wjstephens4654]

Great list, For me, Comes a Time ranks much higher, definitely top 5, it just touches me. It was part of the soundtrack of my life at pivotal times. Part of the magic...

[@johnmcguire1792]

My favourite

[@ST-xg3gy]

"Zuma", then again "On the Beach" is simply sublime.

[@rogerbell8429]

I love Sleeps with Angels. He did a live studio release of 4 songs from that album called The Complex Sessions recorded in October 94. There's a fantastic version of Change your Mind on it which is superior to the album version. It's available on KZbin. Definitely worth checking out.

[@Hektormydog]

Great list from a special artist. His first album is wonderful and will always be one of my all-time favorite albums by anyone/band (I’ve been listening to it for 50+ years and never tire of it!). Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere is my number 1, the guitars, rocking, lazy quiet tracks, polished in a garage band way. After the Gold Rush would be my 3rd place, but you nailed the list, how can you pick 1-2-3-4-5, they are all just great!

[@jeffmpvd7689]

My most listened to Neil album is Greendale! The rockin vibe with Crazy horse is so much fun and as an "audiophile" the recording quality is sublime.

[@ironcurtainsteve]

strange choice

[@artvallejos1460]

Be The Rain.

[@flyingjeffsutherland3744]

After watching your shows, they resonate with me for hours, even days! I love your heart felt perspective and super intense dedication to album collecting...truly inspiring. One album that I didn't see mentioned in the comments, which I love, is, Broken Arrow. For me, that album has all the classic sound and insight that I look for in a Neal Young album.

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

Of the 17 studioalbums I have and know rather well this is my top 10! 10. Hawks & Doves (1980) 9. Hitchhiker (2017) 8. Rust Never Sleeps (1979) 7. Tonight's the Night (1975) 6. Harvest Moon (1992) 5.

Long time Neil Young fan. Hard to pick a favorite album, many recall moments in time that are special to me. When the mood is there,no better song than ' No more ' from Freedom

[@rickhager3288]

Hi Mazzy, I enjoy your videos so much, could listen to you all day. I like On the Beach as my # 1. That second side is perfect zone-out music. Thank you for all of your intelligent videos, really great and helpful.

[@domielakrabi3276]

Nice to see "Psychedelic Pill" in this ranking! I'm a fan of it too.

[@aindriubradleymarshall6226]

Hi ... Insightful choices, Sleeps with Angels, Le Noise and P' Pill are killar. After the Gold Rush for me is number one. I love the pastoral bucolic gentleness of Silver and Gold. Zuma and On the Beach are epic, he was on fire in the '70s.

[@SCjuisy]

Nice surprise that you ranked his debut so high. This album and On the Beach are the Neil Young LP`s i play most. Keep up the good work.

[@mickcook9277]

I'll chuck in a random pic Mazzy - This Note's for You. Not that popular but I loved it, Twilight and Can't believe you're Lyin' - I played it over and over...Thanks for your videos man.

[@KorbenDenver]

American Stars & Bars is pretty great too in my opinion. There's just sooooo much! Nicely done, Mazzy!

[@DCB728]

American Stars and Bars is sublime! In my top five for sure.

[@Rick-vw6en]

Great list there, Mazzy. I would add Zuma and American Star-n-Bars...w/ songs like, Will to Love, Like a Hurricane, and my favorite, Homegrown...such fabulous songwriting.

[@roadofplenty237]

Great list. My favorite three albums are: 1. Sleeps with angels 2. Everybody knows this is nowhere 3. Ragged glory

[@craigmelissa12]

"After the Gold Rush" is simply beautiful and haunting to me. Have to agree that it is my "best"/"favourite". Massey Hall is my favourite if I am just looking at sonically the best. Great Video!

[@delcrowe9712]

Decade was the 1st Neil Young record that I bought when I was a teenager in the 70s. I have been a lifelong fan, since.

[@CornboneStudios]

Saw him on the Greendale tour with Lucinda Williams opening at The Greek. He played the hits after the stage show performance. Amazing show. I got into him in 79 after seeing rust never sleeps movie on cable tv. I really love Ragged Glory. I think I may place everybody knows at number one, but I love them all really. Thank You, great episode. OK Wilson....

[@cesarnarro6013]

I can only tell which N.Young albums that I have listened to the most all these years are "Everybody knows this nowhere" "Harvest" and "American stars n bars" you had a few on your list that I had never even heard of ..will definitely be listening to those.. thanks

[@covischang3645]

Rust never sleep is my all time favourite, it touches me everytime i play the album. Greeting from Taiwan

[@cbond1c113]

Thanks for the video. Although this was done a year ago, it is very timely in the sense that I am currently tackling putting together the Neil Young component of my vinyl collection. There are some obvious ones which I have staked-out, and should have in 1-2 weeks. However, I have to admit that I've put off collecting his work, because it is so extensive, and he has been brave to try-out different styles at times that one would not expect.

[@thomasnelson5758]

Great list. My top 3 are 1. On the Beach (also one of my favorite albums of all time) 2. Tonight's the Night 3. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere

[@MrBallynally2]

i would add Zuma as a must be in there which makes a top 4. Any of those albums are pure gold..

[@markharwood7573]

@@MrBallynally2 We're very close on this one. I go for 1. Zuma 2. On the Beach 3. Everybody Knows.

Brilliant ranking and reviews. Especially pleased with your suggestion of DECADE as the place to start. Your devotion to NY's music lights up the screen!

[@DJGerryfromStarlightMusic]

Rust Never Sleeps/Live Rust is Neil Young at his best electric & acoustic!!☘️😎👍

[@JakeWarwick2410]

so hard to say....Neil has put out a lifetime of great music. Sometimes you're just in the mood for a particular album by Neil depending on the way you're feeling. I would say my go to albums are Old Ways, Life, Freedom, Harvest Moon, Rust Never Sleeps, Broken Arrow, Tonight's the night, comes a time.

[@jamesmachado9366]

Love all of Neil's catalog. With most musicians of the 60 their best work is all in the past. With Neil his best record could come out tomorrow. Hey Neil, thanks for making the world a better place.

[@surfwriter8461]

I couldn't disagree more. Neil has not produced an album or a song worthy of his canon in roughly 25 years. He's been popping out albums with totally undistinguished or downright gag-worthy "songs" for a couple of decades, self-indulgent songs that lack lyrics or melodies of any distinction at all. If you see a list of his greatest songs by anyone with a decent critical faculty, they're all songs from his time with Buffalo Springfield and his first few solo records or the songs for CSNY--all songs at least 25 years ago.

[@alm5693]

Thank you for this video. I'll admit that I was one of those people who didn't get into On The Beach, but now I want to check out Sleeps With Angels. It would be interesting to see a ranking of your least favorite Neil Young records because he's so often fearless about going off the rails.

[@Ricky2374]

Nice to see some love for Le Noise and Psychedelic Pill, Both those would make my top 10.

[@mikel4797]

Decade is a superb collection, and I always double up Massey Hall with Unplugged because of the wonderful sound. Enjoyed the video.

[@ΑΡΓΥΡΙΟΣΚΟΥΚΟΤΑΚΟΣ]

Everybody knows this is nowhere, On the beach, Tonight's the night, Rust never sleeps and Ragged glory are my favorite.

[@liamdowling8077]

I really enjoyed this list, *because* it is different from the list I would choose. I have really enjoyed replaying Decade and Sleeps With Angels after watching it. Both sounding great. Will also check out Le Noise as it is one of the few I did not pick up at the time. On The Beach always my number 1!

[@StevieBluenoseScott]

American Stars And Bars is not only, in my opinion, Neil Young's best album it is also one of the greatest albums ever made.

Hear, hear! It's in my top-5 alongside Doors - L.A. Woman; Beatles - Abbey Road; Kinks - Give the People What They Want; Joe Jackson - Beat Crazy.

[@noheamike5036]

Ragged Glory is a glaring omission.

[@adrianhallich6101]

i came here to say the same thing. i figured for sure is would be on the list, probably fairly close to the top. As he came to the top 5, cool, he rated it pretty high. 4, 3...wow, it made top 2. 2...still not there. I didn't think he'd rate it 1, and sure enough he didn't.

[@stephenhaegele2297]

Must agree, super album!

[@davel4708]

Yeah, I'd have put that in there instead of Psychedelic Pill. It's a good list though. I'd have pretty much all those albums, just in a different order. On The Beach is my #1.

[@chrisweidner4768]

In “on the Beach,” “Ambulance Blues” has some of his greatest work; “I never knew a man who could tell so many lies. He had a different story for every set of eyes. How can he remember who he’s talking to? But I know it isn’t me and I hope it isn’t you.” “you’re only pissin’ in the wind. You don’t know it, but you are. And there ain’t nothin like a friend who will tell you that you’re pissin’ in the wind.” Written when 24. Pure aware genius.

[@tbullard3]

Yeah , Ragged Glory is too 3 for me

[@mrhoffame]

Comes A Time is a masterpiece for me. Side 1 alone is just genius. Nice for showing love for LeNoise too. Pscyhedelic Pill also makes my list. That track Ramada Inn became one of my favorite Neil songs overnight. All Great picks Mazzy!!

[@shaynewest8757]

Time Fades Away is still my fav.

You did a great compilation of the best not 100% sure of the order but still included most of the masterpieces.. you as myself grew up with Neil and Buffalo Springfield how moving was that stuff ? Do you recall Crosby doing , its been so long but I think it was thousand roads.. underappreiciated. Back to Neil 50 yrs later and I'm still listening!whats that say in itself.

[@edwardmulholland7912]

Nice to see Neil’s first album getting some love. I love it, my favorite NY album - special for many reasons. You are right, it is the logical conclusion of Neil’s Buffalo Springfield era. You only get to make your first solo album once, and he made a brilliant album and never made another like it ever again. I love those early live shows Neil has released that feature songs from that album (never mind bootlegs). And same as you I love the album cover - it’s perfect.

[@jnicholls4120]

Thanks Mazzy for another great video! I'm in the UK and I got the first 4 albums as soon as they were released here - I got a US import of After the Goldrush a few weeks ahead of the the UK release - it's still my favourite. The first 3 albums are still my favourite 3. I agree with your high placing of the 'Neil Young' album - I'll never forget as a kid hearing 'The Loner' on my little radio - a life changer for me. BUT the first time I played 'Harvest' I hated it. Last year my kids bought me a record player (I hadn't had one for many years). The first vinyl I played on it was 'Harvest' - I expected that after all these years I would now appreciate it - but I still hate it. For me, Zuma would replace it in my top 12.

[@shanemckenna9416]

1- After the Gold Rush 2- Rust Never Sleeps- 3-. Everyone Knows this is Nowhere 4- Tonight's the Night 5- Harvest.

[@lizdoncampbell9921]

My favourite depends on my mood - Mr Young covers the spectrum from “calm/melodic” to “get up and dance” to “kick arse” and all points in between. What a body of work!! Harvest hooked me when it first came out, a fan ever since now with over 20 vinyls plus CDs. Landing on water great when angry about something. All time fave the Massey Hall live double - just him and instruments - pure!!

[@charlielaunder4520]

I simply could not comment on this video immediately, after drinking from the deep forbidden lake. I've simply come to the conclusion that WE all love Shakey for different reasons, whether it's acoustic, feedback, lyrically, or just plain fun rock and roll. A list makes little or no sense to me as MY love for Neil is always changing, depending on my mood regardless whether happy or sad. I personally have always loved the ditch trilogy, I love and appreciate YOUR insight. 🍻 Don't be Denied

[@wolftree3948]

I'm relatively new to your channel. I know album rankings have not been your focus, but really glad you are jumping in a little. Who better to do this than you?! What is neat for me, at 59 and one whose listening habits began with bands found in Circus and Hit Parader magazine (sorry for my lack of taste :-)), is hearing in 2021 - for the first time - albums like Neil Young Decade. I bought this months ago and just listened to most of it over the weekend. Of course I have heard many songs on this album, but there are just as many I have never heard before or not in a very long time. So, I'm going back to song releases of 40-50 years ago and in enjoying music in the way you do sometimes, it's been a most enjoyable ride. I'm expanding my horizons beyond the obvious classic rock releases and digging into other genres like Canterbury, prog, rock fusion, etc. and even though its old, its new to me. So, if you like doing album rankings, I welcome it wholeheartedly and will be watching.

[@mazzysmusic]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Yeah I’ll do these every once in awhile as I’m enjoying them. So far lots of positive responses. I’ll stick the the artists I feel I know really well. Cheers !

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is one of my fave records of all time. I bought it not long after it came out as I was a big Springfield fan and very sorry they didn't continue as a band.

[@johnwullschleger4351]

Interesting how almost everyone’s best of Neil list is different - I personally feel Ragged Glory and Zuma should be on any list. I’m partial to Journey Through Past too. Greendale suffers with fans because it’s not a collection of songs but it deserves more love imo. I’m also quite smitten with his latest album at the moment although I would not attempt to say where it fits in the pantheon just yet.

[@danielmcglothlen2215]

Somewhere I just got distracted and stopped following Neil Young. Until today, I'd have said my favorite disks were Zuma, Tonight's the Night and After the Gold rush. I'd add American Stars and Bars just because Like a Hurricane is probably my favorite Neil Young song. Right now. But I've never felt good about my Neil Young literacy. I snagged Dead Man so fast tonight it's a little gross, tbh. I love Neil for the young artists he's supported over the years. The tour of his with Sonic Youth opening for him is one of the few Sonic Youth tours I missed. They played at The Gorge and I just couldn't imagine Sonic Youth playing outside. (I eventually did see Sonic Youth playing outside and my instinct was RIGHT). But I digress. Thank you for helping me with my Neil scholarship, Sir!

[@richardhedges1109]

Sleeps with angles is amazing, I just listened to off the back of your advice, going to listen to that album again, thanks for sharing! . I have listened to much now, it’s all so good!

It’s very hard to pick a top 13 Neil Young albums and I commend you for picking bold choices like his self titled debut and Psychedelic Pill. There’s so many other great albums like Zuma, Freedom, Ragged Glory, Comes a Time, and American Stars n’ Bars are all amazing albums as well. I completely agree with you on After The Gold Rush being number 1. That album is on a whole different level than most albums ever released
