I like the ranking save for my love of Rust Never Sleeps which is top 5 easily and maybe top 2.

Big John’s been drinking since VinylGuy spurned Emmy Lou.

Whoops. That has to be fixed - Big John’s actually
Been drinking since Durden spurned Emmy Lou.

I did what?

You disrespected Emmy Lou which caused Big John to relapse into alcoholism.

(you ranked Rust Never Sleeps too low on your list)

Underrated Rust Never Sleeps - that’s a line from Powderfinger altered for my musing. Listen to Rust Never Sleeps again. Lots of important lessons to learn, like who make the best lovers and whether rock and roll is here to stay.

i guess i'll listen to thrasher now...

Three tracks into Zuma right now. Really digging this. I feel like I remember people telling me to skip this one back when I first started really diving into Neil's catalog. But this is sold AF so far.

[Farmer John]

Production on Zuma is fucking aces. Track listing is mixed, from like two star to five star

Tell me which songs you consider two star so we can argue about it.

[makeshift]

Melvins Mudhoney band cover Drive Back on their new EP. I dig both

find those people and hurt them

I've always thought Undone was a sped up Don't Cry No Tears. Zuma hits me right almost everytime.

What do you guys think about Broken Arrow. I like Sleeps with Angles, but listen to Broken Arrow more.

And for Rust Never Sleeps, it's number 1 for me.

FINE JESUS I'LL PUT ON REST NEVER SLEEPS AFTER I'M DONE WITH ZUMA CALM DOWN

Lookin For Love and Drive Back are both pretty weak

Looking For Love is a first listen favorite for me. Really love it.

I am actually really looking forward to revisiting the record. It has to be at least fifteen years since I've listened to it.

I like Lookin for a Love, but yeah, I don't much care for Drive Back.

Broken Arrow might be his most underrated album. I personally think it's the best post-Rust Never Sleeps Crazy Horse record. I like it more than Ragged Glory, and I love Ragged Glory.

[epilogue]

Rust Never Sleeps is totally solid. I can see what people love so much about it. And it's definitely better than I'd remembered -- especially the songs that aren't widely considered hits and/or are included on a lot of compilations (Ride My Llama for example).

I probably do have it ranked too low on that last ranking that I did. But there's no way I'd put it #1. It doesn't begin to touch Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush, or On The Beach.

Still, wonderful listen and I'm glad I gave it another spin. This dude has too many great albums.
