    I like the sound of “spinning plates on 15 or so archival releases”

    I hope they go hard on the ORS LPs next year. Its getting to the era of shit that NEEDS to be reissued and doing boxes 5 and 6 will get us there.

    I only really want to hear news about the Ragged Glory expanded deluxe release. Neil can just take my cash for that one, no questions asked.

    Has this been teased? Or wishful thinking?

    Confirmed by Neil. 2LP reissue with some bonus tracks - Ragged Glory / Smell The Horse.
    It was originally due out earlier this year but got delayed due to the vinyl shortages.

    This is great news. Been tempted to pull the trigger on an OG, but maybe I'll wait out the reissue.

    The reissue should hopefully sound better. Ragged Glory is one of my favourite Neil records, but there’s too much music on there for one LP.

    That garage sound doesn't hold a candle to Harvest/Harvest Moon-Neil.

    Also, Broken Arrow is the better Crazy Horse album. FIGHT ME IN A GAME OF DARTS

     am sitting in a restaurant eating dinner and The Needle and the Damage Done is playing. I asked my wife if it would be rude to tell everybody to quiet down so I could hear it? She said yeah. I disagree.

    Wrong.  Ragged Glory is better.  I prefer Year of the Horse to Broken Arrow.

    She's right. Way better to go home and play it with headphones on.

    Haha no way, Ragged Glory is my favourite NYCH album. But Broken Arrow is great too.
    One of my personal favourites is Sleeps with Angels. Change Your Mind is one of the best things they've done, for sure.

    Sleeps with angels is greatttttttttt.

    The 90s was crazy for Neil. Such quality output.

    Wrong.  Ragged Glory is better.  I prefer Year of the Horse to Broken Arrow.

    I'll jump in just for the hell of it.

    Of the album mentioned above, in order of my preference, highest to lowest (but none are "bad"):
    Ragged Glory
    Broken Arrow (possible would have topped or at least equaled RG if side 2 were on par with side 1)
    At least 7 or 8 other NY, and NY and CH albums
    Harvest or Harvest Moon (take your pick)

    No need to argue about it. 

    But Harvest and Harvest Moon are the best of all times. best. of all. times. all times. best.

    I prefer Silver and Gold over Harvest Moon, but it's close.

    One of the beautiful things about music is that we experience it uniquely.  None of us will ever hear music the same way anyone else does and no one else will ever hear it the way we do.  So, really, if you think about it, it is impossible to say what record is "best".  If someone told me "Old Ways is Neil Young's best record", they would be correct... for them.
    Besides, what universal trait could make one piece of music "better" than another?  Is complexity of composition?  The consideration of the proliferation of alliteration  in the lyrics?  The greater or lesser likelihood of different music to create tinnitus when played at the same volume? The number of units sold (beep beep)?
    For me, it's what feeds my soul, sparks my imagination, and rolls my socks.  And it's pretty much different every day.
