    Oh man, that song is ten thousand tons of heaviness.  Talk about a deep cut.  That one goes to the bottom of one's soul.  But at the same time, it's one of those songs that's a soothing balm to the soul.  It's easy to get lost in that one.  Great pick.

    Should I have bought it (95 dollars)? Also had Le Noise and Living with War for $110 and Silver and Gold for $40


    Yes, you should have bought Are You Passionate, Le Noise and Living With War and sent them over to me!
    They were all part of a bunch of records that got damaged in a move years ago, and I haven’t been able to replace yet.
    Even for 100 a pop? :O

    they had sleeps with angels too.

    Yep, even for that price I would have been very tempted to get at least one of them. Probably all three.

    It wouldn’t have been the most I’ve paid for vinyl...

    I really want an original Le Noise on vinyl. I had to settle for the Bluray instead. much too expensive.

    Same here.  I blew it with that one.  When it came out, Dimple in Sacramento had the new vinyl for around $25 and at the time I thought that was way too much.  Dang!

    fk I am loving the On The Beach album right now.
    Glad I found a copy on CD back at the start of the year, remastered!

    I'm struggling to like 'Tonight's The Night'.

    I've given it a number of listens and it's not doing anything for me.
    It's rated as one of his best albums and is on Rolling Stone's top 500 greatest albums of all time list.

    I dig "Mellow My Mind" however. 

    Any fans of this album?

    There has always been something keeping me from being head over heels into it to:

    https://instagram.com/p/Bbh4_xflRw6/

    Following the death of Crazy Horse member Danny Whitten and roadie Bruce Berry Neil Young recorded this raw and painfully personal record - even including a note saying sorry to the listener for its personal nature. There's pretty much no production to separate Neil from me, and maybe that has a part in why I don't revisit the album that often. It sounds in part like demos in all the crudeness and Neils voice shifting in volume. Even though there are really great songs on it, e.g. World on a string, Borrowed tune and Tired Eyes.

    Yeah, I like World on a string and Tired eyes.

    It's definitely one of my all-time favorite Neil Young albums with with a slight catch.  This is one that I only listen to late at night when in the right mood.  The more tired and depressed I am, the more I love this album.

    Well will wonders never cease!  I finally got word that my pre-order for Dead Man has finally shipped.  Thought I'd never see it!
