The Official Neil Young Thread

[Clem Halibut]

Listened to Broken Arrow today !!
Wow!! Great record
Not sure why I overlooked this one all these years
Perfect set up for Mirrorball

Love that album. My first exposure to these songs was from that Jim Jarmusch Year of the Horse movie. I especially love those versions

YES!!
Year of the Horse was fantastic
Love it

Uncle Neils 90s albums are so good. I think ragged glory is my least favorite (I haven't listened to harvest moon for awhile, it probably is my lowest)

[Clem Halibut]

Deadman Soundtrack is ace as well

[Kalevi]

I've still never heard that one

[VinylGuy]

Listened to On The Beach, such a nice cool album. I love how warm it sounds.

Famously recorded in a truck!

On the Beach is rad, and wut.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, the ditch trilogy is great. Its not my fav from him, but its still a moment from his career i always go back to.

I wonder if the truck is similar to the one Rick Rubin has on Shangri La.

[liebzz]

I likely consider On the Beach my favorite, with Rust Never Sleeps maybe second.

On the Beach and Tonight’s the Night were both recorded in a “mobile recording studio,” basically a huge box truck with recording gear set up inside of it. Everyone was stoned on “honeysliders” — basically hashish cookies — and in certain cases asked to play their non-primary instrument. Not sure if Homegrown was recorded the same way but it would stand to reason.

The Ditch Trilogy — which I consider a quadrilogy given the addition of Homegrown — is my favorite era, and it’s all in those circumstances.

I think I go back to this section in Shakey about once a year.

Underrated, the lot of ‘em.

Also really like the “A Treasure” archive release. And Life. And Trans.

[Farmer John]

I even like Everybody's Rockin'

[coptheriotact]

“Life” was released on the day I was born.

87 was a weird year for music production

[emanon]

Fuckin' Up has landed. Giving it its first spin right now...

[tragabigzanda]

[dad]

[Farmer John]

Yeah can't wait for that (on my AirPods)
