    mookie, there is no way i'm gonna type out 100 songs..

    i will type out a few..

    neil is a survivor..

    helpless
    after the goldrush
    don't let it bring you down
    cinnamon girl
    rockin in the free world

    harvest and harvest moon (no deletions, not even Old King)

    "Don't let it bring you down
    It's only castles burning,
    Just find someone who's turning
    And you will come around."

    ty neil young for your contributions to song writing!!

    excellence beyond compare!! :)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    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

    thanks for your post olderman. no worries about posting 100 songs...i'm surprised anyone even responded to this to tell you the truth! :D

    great tunes...and the lyrics from don't let it bring you down are some of the best he's written. good call!...and we agree on helpless :)

    back in the day, mr young's songs entertained many people, and imo, mr young is #1. case closed. keep on rockin in the free world.

    "did she wake you up,
    to tell you that,
    it was only a change of plan?"

    "i've seen the needle and the damage done,
    a liitle part of it in everyone....."

    yeah, i think he's entertained an informed as well, olderman. i think a lot of younger generations get into his music because they see that some of their favourite bands either look up to him or have been influenced by him.

    all the lyrics you quoted are genius, in my opinion. and i can only hope that's there's much more to come! :)

    aside from the first three this list is flexible dependant on my mood.


    1. the needle and the damage done
    2. old man
    3. lotta love
    ohio
    stupid girl
    comes a time
    helpless
    danger bird
    already one
    only love can break your heart
    mr soul
    pardon my heart
    rockin in the free world
    downtown
    alabama
    don't let it bring you down
    scenery
    sleeps with angels
    motorcycle mama
    the loner
    nowadays clancy can't even sing
    i am a child
    scattered
    this town.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    mookie blaylock 10,

    It's funny, when you first posted this thread I stated to type my top 100 I made it to 70 something then I was retarded and accidentally closed the Internet Explorer (a lot of things going on at once). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could send me a mp3 or wma of "Cocaine Eyes"

    Favorite Neil Young song of the moment...."Revolution Blues"
    "Fuckin' hippies!"
