I've though long and hard about this and i would have to say " Rust Never Sleeps " . Powderfinger, Welfare Mothers, Hey hey, My my, Thrasher, what an amazing album.
Id say " Mirrorball " a close second though.

Who cares if the world is going down the toilet? Eddie Vedder got his mojo back!

i'd agree with that. it's just that trans is about the only one i wouldn't listen to straight through. there are underwhelming tunes on some of his albums, but for the most part i like them all cover to cover.
For the purposes of this, I would say my current state of mind is in line with On the Beach from 1975 I think.
It just is whats going on now, the vietnam war ended, watergate happened, nixon resigned, people were tired, and frustrated.
Ambulance Blues gives me chills everytime I hear it. We are at that same point right now in time.
mellow has to be harvest (did she wake you up, to tell you that, it was only a change of plan?) a man needs a maid is also a favorite. the man is a songwriter for sure.
rockin' is weld/arc (cortez the killer still gives me chills to this day)
but who knows, i may just play sleeps with angels any moment now.. western hero sounds so goooood.. or harvest moon, or silver and gold, or etc.
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
that's where my favourite song lives.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
and your favoutie song is? heart of gold?

And his tears fall and burn the garden green
zuma

tonight the night

take a good look

lie beside me
i just need to say

and while there are still more of his albums that i like more than arc, id like to give a shout for it, cuz that cd is fucking sweeeeeet.
for the guy who said he wants rocking out neil....it depends what kind of rocking out. however, that said, the album that probably still rocks out the most, imo, is everybody knows this is nowhere.
have you seen it? i have. too many times. love you.

Love to burn, love and only love, fuckin up, over and over...
genius.
Zuma needs some love too.
Well if you don't have it already i suggest you get Live Rust. It gives you a great taste of both world with killer versions of rockin songs ie Like a Hurricane.
As for his rockers:
Ragged Glory =Great
A lot of neil's rockers are on albums that have softer sides too. Like Everybody knows this is knowwhere has teh power trio of cinnamon girl, cowgirl in the sand, and down by the river but the rest of the album is a bit more mellow.
