| Like others have said, I am a pretty fervent Neil Young fan but could only get around 35. When you think about it, Neil's catalogue is so deep and consistent that if you asked fans to pick out the 10 best songs you would probably get fewer repeats than you would with more renown, arguably greater, acts. For instance, nearly everybody is going to put "Gimme Shelter," "Satisfaction," and "Sympathy For the Devil" in their Stones top 10. I can't think of similar tracks that are as widely acknowledged as Neil's "greatest" (With the possible exception of "After the Gold Rush," probably "Heart of Gold" and somewhat oddly "The Needle and the Damage Done"). Hell, if you asked me to list the ten best Neil songs on consecutive days I'd probably end up naming around 16 songs.
That being said, "Harvest" is either the best or second-best song on that album ,it needs to be here. So do "Borrowed Tune," "Long May You Run," and "Unknown Legend." AND "I Believe in You" and "Don't Be Denied" need to be higher. Two cents delivered. |
