    Time Fades Away is a must. I have it on vinyl and if I put it on, I have to listen to it straight through. It is so awesome. Don't be Denied and Last Dance are my favourites from that one.

    Neil young is a master at his craft and not to mention a complete badass. So happy I discovered the greatness of his music (thanks, PJ!). Was fortunate enough to see him live last year in Baltimore and it was a pleasure to be in the audience! Hearing After the Gold Rush on the organ was stunningly beautiful- brought tears to my eyes! His music is just legendary!

    My forum name and location are probably a bit of a giveaway when it comes to how much I love Neil!

    The first time I remember hearing Neil was when I was rummaging through my Dad's old 7" singles when I was a kid and I came across the Heart Of Gold/Sugar Mountain single. I played that thing non stop for hours, it drove my parents crazy. I loved Sugar Mountain, I hadn't heard story telling like that before. My Dad gave me the single years later and I still spin it occasionally.

    Neil headlined my first PJ show too. It was Finsbury Park in London in 93 and he was with Booker T. It was actually my first ever gig and I got Neil and PJ, not a bad start.

    I think my top 10 Neil albums would look something like this:

    On The Beach
    Harvest
    Mirrorball
    Time Fades Away
    After The Goldrush
    Sleeps With Angels
    Rust Never Sleeps
    Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
    Tonight's The Night
    Chrome Dreams

    Where do you get it? Just a torrent file?

    Yes and its a must if you like Neil Young (and I love him 8-)).

    If I had my laptop with me (using an iPad) I could tell you the simple program I use. I'll check.

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Hello Joe-
    I just responded to you on the MMJ Roll Call board.

    I have seen Neil at Red Rocks many times and will be going to one MMJ and both Neil shows at Red Rocks. Maybe he ought to get his "nephews" in line and tell them to play Red Rocks again too.
