.......I went through a huge Neil Young phase. I jumped in at "Rust Never Sleeps & worked my way backwards as I kept up with his current work. I stopped in the mid-to-late 90's. His guitar shredding capabilities cannot be denied. His style is a thrilling dangerous mix of sweet & sour notes served with sharp shards of dissonance & chaos. & somehow the cub-footed rhythms of Crazy Horse becomes the perfect background for Neil's flights of frenzy. Having said all that, & after a couple dozen shows......I don't know.......it seems he has less & less to say......or has chosen to preach........I haven't bought a Neil cd since Life In War (or whatever)
Living with War was interesting and apparently quite heartfelt. The more country-flavored stuff (like Prairie Wind or Old Ways) is even quite appealing to me in it's own way. The old stuff w/CH though, has a special place in my heart and, of course, the Dylan cover on Bobfest of "Just Like Tom Thumb Blues" by Neil just blows me away!

Yes my friend, they certainly do rock!
