Spinning On The Beach now.

"Revolution Blues" is gnarly. I fucking love it.

So far (only three songs in) each track has improved upon the previous and is really building toward something super interesting. Hope that momentum keeps.

I think it's my favorite track on first listen. But really the Revolution Blues - For the Turnstiles - Vampire Blues run is fucking amazing. All three of those are great.

Farmer John wrote:Does any artist have a better decade than 1970s Neil Young? Just look at this list.

After the Goldrush
Harvest
Time Fades Away
On the Beach
Tonight’s the Night
Homegrown
Zuma
Hitchhiker
American Stars ’N Bars
Comes a Time
Rust Never Sleeps

You can even throw in Long May You Run and Live Rust.
I really love Long May You Run.

For whatever reason, I reach for it more often that I do many of Neil's 70s records.

Just a super breezy, enjoyable record.

I think I've said this before, but trag's hate for A Man Needs a Maid is crazy. What a song.

I remember liking it, but I need to revisit LMYR, especially since I've been getting into a lot of Stephen Stills solo work lately.

He's so good. "Manassas" is a fantastic album.

I don't know, I think it's one of Neil's more straight-forward, affecting songs.

It probably helps that I was first familiar with the stripped-back Massey Hall version.

Agreed all around. "Midnight on the Bay" is such a gorgeous song.

I might listen as I read. There’s a few albums I haven’t heard and quite a few I haven’t heard in a decade or more.

Oddly, I totally agree with trag re: Maid but vehemently disagree re: Road.
