The Official Neil Young Thread

[Farmer John]

Hawaiian Sunrise

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

I notice that "LA Girls and Ocean Boys" became the lyric and melody that runs underneath the chorus of "Dangerbird".

[Kevin Davis]

Man, I love this version of "Everybody's Alone" from the Tonight's the Night sessions.

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

The "Zuma" outtakes are like a personal kiss on the balls from baby Jesus.

[Kevin Davis]

The electric "Ride My Llama" and "Hawaii" are maybe my two favorite tracks on this whole set.

[Simple Torture]

I think I'm finally going to start listening to this tonight after dinner. I might go out of order based on people's reactions in here.

"Dume" (Disc 8) is possibly the best Neil Young conglomeration of all time.

Insanely good.

[Kevin Davis]

The "Ride My Llama" on here reminds me of "Crime on the City" on Weld -- a good but not quite-top tier song, originally presented acoustically, pressurized into this battering ram of a rock song that makes everything good about it even better. Fantastic.

Geezes i need to get on this and listen already.

"Daughters" is such a great song. Maybe the best of the "previously unreleased" songs?

In terms of songs being presented here for the first time I think my vote goes to "Born to Run." But right out of the gate I'm highest on the Zuma outtakes so I might just be listening to it more.

I need to give that one another listen.

“Frozen Man” is another gem.

[Simple Torture]

Dume was as advertised, but I think Disc 1 is great, too, now that I've circled back there. Love this version of LA.

Acoustic LA
Llama
Hawaii
Lotta Love W the Horse has such a great groove here
Frozen Man my fave

Oh my goodness gravy, yes, this is a good one.

When Archives Vol. III comes out in 2031 during the second Ivanka Trump administration, I hope we're all still in this thread to enjoy it together.

[Jessica Fletcher]

I tried to make a "best of" playlist on my NYA account, not including recordings from the proper albums, and it ended up being 37 songs. It's too good. The Old Homestead disc is so good it's really elevating my appreciation for Neil, and he's been my favorite artist for decades.

[Simple Torture]

This is my second favorite version of "Greensleeves."

[7 Years and Maybe Longer]

This is my second favorite version of "Greensleeves."

The version on the Ben Keith & Friends album with Neil and the choir is one I break out most Decembers.
