[@tomhenninger4153]

Neil Young is one of my favorite artists ever! So cool. Everybody Knows, Zuma, Rust Never Sleeps. Thats so hard. After the Gold Rush, Tonight's the Night right behind.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

A grand list Tom! I agree with most of your list brother! ❤

[@RJP-mz2pz]

Rust Never Sleeps, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Tonight’s the Night, Comes a Time, On the Beach and Ragged Glory. Great discussion!

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

You certainly picked some of the very best here, brother! 👍❤ Thanx RJP!

[@jameswilson7084]

(3) "Trans" (2) "After The Gold Rush" (1) "Harvest" I like every song on all three of those Neil Young albums.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Trans would also be high on my list as well James. So we’re not too far off brother!👌❤

[@captainsatellite2112]

Harvest, Rust Never Sleeps, After the Goldrush in no particular order. Not my 4th fave but I actually like Trans too and was fortunate to see him perform Computer Age live in the 80s. Managed to make our way to right in front of the stage for that show.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

You;re the second comment or to mention Trans Captain! A wonderful album! ❤

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Very hard to pick a favourite at all Michael. Love all of them.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Me too Jeffrey! We are talking about a true Rock Legend with a capitol L brother! ❤

[@jeffreyflint6286]

@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine Absolutely!!!!!!!!

[@Martin-Essahc]

A great sequence but in reversed chronological order of preference: 3- On the beach 2- Tonight's the night 1- Zuma with the great Cortez the killer

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Zuma is great Nitra! Great list! ❤

[@garytrew2766]

Harvest ❤

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

There ya go Gary! You are a scholar and a gentleman! ❤🏆

[@pierreverweij5559]

I have a soft spot for “Comes a time” but I guess it won’t be mentioned much here…

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Comes A Time is a beautiful album, and there’s definitely a place for it in many of our hearts Pierre! As I mention in this very video, It was barely beat by After the Gold Rush for my 3rd favorite album by him brother! ❤👌

[@classicrockriffsandotherbi7737]

After the Gold Rush, Harvest, CSNY - Deja, honourable mentions: Harvest Moon and Comes A Time.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Solid picks brother! Thanx ClassicRock! 👌❤

[@Matias-music-71]

Harvest , Deja Vu , Rust Never Sleeps

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Great list Matias! Thanx for the input as always brother! ❤

[@matthewblanchard9301]

'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere', 'After The Goldrush' and 'Sugar Mountain Live At Canterbury House 1968'(It's hard not to include Dèjá Vu, real fuckin' hard)🤠

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Yeah it was hard for me as well Mathew! But his solo work is yet so damned expansive brother! 👌❤😉

[@mozart9991]

I think it is not right - for me - to count Buffalo Springfield or CSNY albums because he wrote, at most, a few songs on each album. So, in order of my appreciation, I'd choose After The Gold Rush, Harvest and Everybody Knows This is Nowhere. He was certainly on a roll. If I were to include something from a group he was in, I'd replace EKTIN with Deja Vu, of course.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

A very valid statement Mozart! For my list, I evaded picking non solo work for your very reasonings here!❤👌🏆

[@steverobertson6748]

Harvest Rust Never Sleeps Decade

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

A noble list indeed Steve! Thanx brother! ❤👌

[@tpatrick44]

Harvest #1

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Amen to that Patrick! ❤

[@talbotdarren]

How about just the three best Neil Young songs. I would go with the following: 3. Cinnamon Girl 2. Pocahontas 1. Ohio (CSNY)

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Great mentions here Talbot! Thanx brother! ❤

[@ronreno5702]

Every thing with Crazy Horse

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Yeah Crazy Horse is the best band he ever played with IMHO Ron! Well said brother! ❤

[@ronreno5702]

@ thank you Michael. He Tocked with crazy horse the rest was folk music

[@Taffer9876]

1. Harvest Moon 2. Harvest 3. Let's listen to Harvest Moon again

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Ya know Taffer, I’m detecting a pattern here! Brilliant! ❤👌🏆

[@mustlovepretzels]

Harvest After The Gold Rush Live Rust 🥨

[@vortexpilot5096]

Early 80s the wife and I went to see Neil play. He started the set sitting crosslegged with guitar atop a 10-foot tall wooden box. He came down a ladder as I recall and gave us an intimate acoustic set, you know, "Sugar Mountain," "I Am a Child.". Then he plugged in and Crazy Horse came out, and they unleashed the decibels. Turns out the 10-foot box was their amp. The sound was so big we felt our guts vibrating, got nauseous and had to leave.

[@charlielaunder4520]

I've come to the conclusion people like Shakey for different reasons, while some prefer the soft acoustic side or country fringes. I've been listening to Neil on a regular rotation for close to 40 years I love the raw ragged side of NY. Picking a top 3 is tough because they are forever changing just like Neil. If I was forced to I would head for the DITCH Time Fades Beach Tonight's The next week or month might just be , Zuma, Freedom and Gold rush .....Mirror Ball, Le Noise and Everybody Knows . It really depends on what kinda mood I'm in . With that said Landing on Water and Reactor and Colorado don't get the love they deserve.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Very well said brother! Thanks for sharing such insightful thoughts! You are obviously a scholar & a gentleman Charlie! ❤

[@KardboardKenny]

none, because being a SC native, it's understood that "A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow".

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

LOL! I see whatcha did there Kenny! Good to hear from ya btw!❤❤❤😂

[@KardboardKenny]

@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine I'm surprised no one beat me to it.

[@clydekimsey7503]

Harvest, after the gold rush, harvest moon

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Very nice Clyde! Thanx! ❤

[@nathanensoll2796]

Tonight's the Night, On the Beach & Zuma/Duma Harvest is too commercial for me - even Neil rang for the ditch after that release ... 😅

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

It was commercial. But great commercial to my ears Nathan, but I hear ya brother! ❤

[@bootsybass]

Neil and the Shocking Pinks (Everbodys Rockin’) has always been a favourite of mine. I know it doesn’t get a lot of love but it has great songs Wonderin’, the brilliant Payola Blues and a great cover of Mystery Train. The video for Wonderin’ is also brilliant.

[@jamesreding6336]

I have the gold Rush album and Decades album of Neal Young

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Chris agrees with ya James, he made special mention of it brother!❤

[@olavirannisto3552]

Harvest, Tonight’s the Night, Sleeps with Angels.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Wow you’re the first to name those specific three so far Ola! Thanx! ❤

[@luismatamala7267]

Time Fades Away is my all time favorite

[@saifonlawrence2044]

His first 20+ albums are all great...these panelists are lame.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Now now Saifon I so happen to agree with your statement of his first 20 for the most part! Ya healed me! I can see! I can see! 😂❤

[@jamesreding6336]

I never bought music till I was 19 in 1977 threw 1984 I bought almost bought 400 albums stopped buying music after that except for live DVDS concerts in 2005 to about 2015

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Oh God the music DVDs that I own! I feel a video comin’ on James! ❤

[@jamesreding6336]

I was on Romperroom in 1964 I still have my diploma and picture in Tacoma Washington for a week

[@jasonardler8373]

The run of albums from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere through to Zuma is uniformly excellent. Harvest Moon is also a favourite. But the go to albums for me right now are Live at Massey Hall and Live at the Cellar Door.

[@edshu5098]

I gotta go with Harvest, Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere and Comes A Time then After The Gold Rush. His early work was so good. Saw him with Crazy Horse in 1987 in Germany.

[@christophergase1468]

For me personally it's very difficult to name just three albums.😅 But I choose Rust Never Sleeps, Freedom and Zuma. I recently bought Dume and can recommend this record to anyone who also likes Zuma. 😎👌🏻

[@charleswells8453]

3. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 2. Tonight’s the Night 1. On the Beach Honourable mentions for After the Goldrush and Harvest.

[@LloydBoonworldofmusic2]

so if we can include any band he has been part of i would have to say 1: Harvest Moon 2: Deja Vu 3: Prairie Wind

[@ijeff2005]

I wouldn't include any Springfield or CSNY since those are collaborations. It also minimizes his prolific solo career. It's hard for me to pick 3, but here goes. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush and Rust Never Sleeps. I always like "Gold Rush" better than the far more popular "Harvest". It is his underrated masterpiece. Kind of interesting though not surprising that no one picked an album more recent than the 1970's. He did some very good records after the 70's including a few that would have made my top 10 list like Freedom and Ragged Glory. Like nearly all great 60's era artists his best work comes from the earlier part of his career.

[@stephanevillatte5970]

''mirror ball '' is in my opinion one of his most underrated...I find it far superior than some of his legendary electric crazy horse albums

[@adambower2677]

Every one of them

[@terrywilliams7827]

1 Re ac tor 2 tonight's the night 3 rust never sleeps

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

Top 3? 3. Freedom 2. After the Gold Rush 1. Harvest

[@adamfindlay7091]

Resistor

[@carlgrimsman6683]

Deja Vu had just 2 Neil Young songs and beat so many full Young albums with you guys! He didn't even sing on other Deja Vu songs and played on just 3 tracks besides his own.

[@gerrylambert5225]

Weld Chrome 2 Ragged Glory
