.....see what all the fuss is about? I hate his voice and a lot of his songs are whiney and wimpy.

I love RITFW, Harvest Moon and a few others....but that is when Ed or someone else sings them.

The man can write, but his voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

I can see why the San Fran fans were pissed when Eddie got sick and Neil took over.

Anyone else feel the same way?

    while you are entitled to your opinion, I completely disagree

    There are singers out there with very unique voices (Young, Townshend) that write songs that are just perfectly fit for their unusual voices

    dig a little deeper into Neil and I think you'll find that you are mistaken

    Neil Young is one of the great rock songwriters. Look beyond the voice and tap into the emotion.

    Also, a guitar sound all his own. Incredible guitar leads with extreme individuality.

    I feel exactly the same way. Its not our fault his voice is soo iritating. To us. I can't stand him either. To each his own. If I was at a PJ show and Eddie left and he took the stage I would cry.

    The BEST version of "Down by the River" ever.
    McCready plays some real lead for Neil...melts my brain every time.

    You need to listen to Weld, the double live album from the 1991 Neil Young & Crazy Horse tour. All will be revealed.

    I dont look at it that way. Its more like having a party and expecting the Tri-Delts, but the Omega-Moo's show up instead.

    :) which leads me to..... i like RITFW as much as the next guy but can PJ put it away? They have tons of original material. This should be a raritiy where people go nuts like 2 or 3 times a tour. Not every other night. I feel the same way about Baba too. I LOVE THAT SONG but i think they play it too often now a days. its like "oh baba is on that boot .... woop dee doo"
