    After The Goldrush. I say that because my father gave me a copy when I was 15 years old and it has forever since been a staple in my collection.

    Other albums I'd personally suggest are:

    Harvest
    On The Beach
    Tonight's The Night
    Mirrorball (as you probably know, PJ is the backing band)
    Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
    Zuma

    Neil has some really strong albums, and then some that might not be considered as strong. Although you have to admire the man for a work technique that is hard to miss. That being no matter what, just keep on creating. Artists hit highs and lows, but the important thing is to keep working, and power through. Neil Young is a testament to that artistic motto.

    Start with Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere. It's the first NY album to actually sound like NY.

    Good choice. I wouldn't wait too long to get Rust Never Sleeps. ;)

    And of course Mirror Ball is a must for any Pearl Jam fan, even if you don't like Neil Young. :lol:

    Like a few, but this feels like a throw-off.

    Americana is fucking awesome. Buy it. Now.

    I think Clementine is one of my all-time fave NY songs.

    I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the album. They did a great job at transforming those songs.

    Anyone going to see Neil and the Horse on tour? Would be cool to see them with Patti Smith.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    It won't have a long shelf life for me either. Actually 2012 as a whole has been the worst music year for me that I can remember. There are many 5 albums that I've listened to a lot.
