I wonder if Neil himself has listened to every release...

If you mean every commercially available album, along with stuff like 'Eldorado', 'Chrome Dreams' and 'Times Square', then I have. I'll listen to something of Neil's at least once a week, a few times I've played all of the albums in order from 'Neil Young' to 'Americana' (that takes a while, it's a good job I've got a long commute every day!). There's so much material that he's kept back or can only be found on obscure live bootlegs that I know there's a ton of stuff I haven't heard yet but that's part of the fun.

I've been into Neil since I was a little kid and he's one of a handful of artists that I'm genuinely excited about every new release (mainly because you never know which way he's headed next!)

My father-in-law had a bunch of CD's he got from his library - 80s & 90s Neil that I haven't heard yet. I DL'ed all these, so I'll be investigating a bunch of Neil I haven't listened to yet.

Chrome Dreams 1 is a cool album.

I had it lost it in a move. I have a buddy that has a copy i need to reach out to him and see if i can get it again.

Its pretty simple to find online too.

Eddie has.

So have I

And Neil is a perfectionist so he has no doubt listened to all his albums

Speaking of Eldorado...I saw the CD release (Japanese import as it was only released in Japan on CD and in Australia on vinyl) in a record store during its original release in the late 80s. I didn't have much money then and also didn't realize it was a limited release. As a result, I didn't buy it. :fp:
Years later I finally got a copy courtesy of a friend who had it as he burned me a CDR copy.
Does anyone have a Neil collectible that is their holy grail? I guess mine would be an original On The Beach promo poster. Two of my friends have them (one in Philly and one in Seattle) so I've seen it in person a number of times. I've heard that they don't come up for sale very often on eBay.

For no logical reason other than to make my journeys to work more interesting, I have just started listening to all of Neil's albums in chronological order.

So far this week I've got through:

Sugar Mountain - Live At Canterbury House 1968
Neil Young
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Live at the Fillmore East
After the Gold Rush
Live at Massey Hall 1971
Harvest
Journey Through the Past
Time Fades Away
On the Beach

I've placed Sugar Mountain, Filmore and Massey Hall at the times they were recorded as opposed to the time they were released. This week has been a good week, by the middle of next week I'll be up to the 80s albums - it probably won't be as much fun

I love going through an entire catalog in a short amount of time. I did this with Neil in 2010, except I did all the studio albums and then all the live stuff. Ive also done this with The Beatles, Bruce, The Rolling Stones, and now Bob Dylan (which is taking forever!).

I did this with REM a few months ago.

Nice to know there are other OCD people out there.

I've done it with Zep in a day. U2 has taken me some time.

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE RELEASING

Neil Young
Neil Young & Crazy Horse have announced they will release their second album this year in October, entitled Psychedelic Pill. According to Neil's official website, the album was recorded right after Americana back in June and will be released in double-CD and triple-vinyl due to the length of the songs. Similar to Americana, full length videos for each of the songs will be available and previewed, and a full fidelity version of the album will be released on Blu-ray and will include all the videos. As previously announced, the band will be touring this Fall. See all the dates below.

Apology not accepted.

I could definitely get through Meddle-Final Cut, but I'm not sure I'd make it through the first few Floyd albums.

SVRDhand13

Im very excited that this will be a double album. Cant wait to see NY in Brooklyn on Dec 3 (the date is not on the above list probably because its old). I really hope it doesnt sound anything like Greendale .

intodeep

Just check out the Walk Like a Giant jam on youtube. I'm sure that is one of the songs and it will probably sound like that.

I wish he was playing near me but oh well

Anyone who has bought new NY vinyl recently? Can you tell me if his vinyls come with download codes? (yea goldrush, I'm guessing you're the man who can tell me... )

goldrush

To be honest I haven't got Americana on vinyl yet so I couldn't say (I got the blu ray for the videos of each song). I know there were downloads for the Archives box if you bought the dvd or bluray, but I can't remember if I've had any others though
