    Feel sad no one commented on Grey Riders when I posted it :/

    Anyways, 

    What songs by Neil Young do you think are the most underrated or forgotten?

    Just noticed that Neil's website has been taken down. The homepage is now just the Children of Destiny video with links to buy it, and a link to his Store. Hopefully that means a revamp building up to a new round of Archives releases... 
    I can't remember the last time I actually got any Neil news from his website. The 'NY Times' and 'Living With War' pages hadn't been updated in years.
    Which is a bummer!  I enjoyed reading the NY Times!  I hope the old guy is doing OK!
    I think he's just winding down some of his work so he can spend more time with Darryl Hannah. He probably understands that he's scored big time with her, lol.
    Seriously though, everyone keeps expressing concern for Neil, but he seems perfectly fine. He's simply easing up on the work, which is normal for his age, especially after a divorce plus a new relationship plus his music shenanigans.

    Honest answer- doesn't do it for me.  Like most of his work with International Harvesters, well done, just not on my list of Neil favorites.  But that's not a put down.  I never disparage any of Young's work. 

    I think every Neil fan must have some songs they like that seem "underrated" to their ears.  I can understand why some like one thing while someone else doesn't-- we all hear differently (which is why I don't believe in the term "bad" music). 

    So one of my lost favorites is "Goin' Home for the "Are You Passionate" LP.  Here's the Horse doing it live (this live version blows me away!):

    Are You Passionate is a really strong album. My first show was his Sweden show at The Globe Arena in 2001. Black Crowes opening.
    Fifth song was Going Home :)

    Just saw Neil's Facebook page update. The previously unreleased 1976 album Hitchhiker is now available for pre order.

    Sweet! There was a feeling for a while that he may have pulled it from release (again). 
    So happy to see there's an official date for it now. :)

    20 bucks sounds cheap for a new Neil Young album. 

    In Sweden his albums are crazy expansive.

    He said he was doing this... I think this is one of the reasons he has taken off a year

    I generally am not a fan of pre-ordering Hitchhiker was just too tempting.  I hope it's good!

    As much as I'm not a fan of pre-ordering, by the time it shows up I will have forgotten I ordered it and it will be a great surprise.  Failing memory in old age does have it's good points at times! :glasses:
