fave NEIL YOUNG song

[Icy Gull]

rocking in the free world......obviously

acoustic or electric version?

Southern Man for me

 

[Norman Potting]

"Like a Hurricane" from his old stuff.

"No Wonder" off Prairie Wind from his new stuff.

Hon. Mensh. for "Powderfinger" written allegedly for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Great cover version by the Beat Farmers.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Today my favourite is On the Beach, from what might just be my favourite Neil Young album. I just love the guitar solo on it.
Tomorrow it could be
Cinnamon Girl or Pocahontas or Tired Eyes or After the Goldrush or Like A Hurricane or Fuckin Up or Crime in the City or any one of a hundred other of his brilliant pieces of music.

me too, I'll be heading to Hop Farm. Any idea who other acts are? Apparently another 11 bands/artists to be announced??!?

 

[challengechappers]

i guess one will be Pegi, his Mrs. i heard he was "curating" so should be interesting. great price at £50 a ticket too, although capacity is 30,000. hoping for lots of long solos, perfect festival music.

 

[Simster]

Damage Done.

 

[Nibble]

Rockin' in the free world.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

after the goldrush.

There was a group who did an Acapela version in the 70's. That was an excellent version too.

I haven't the faintest idea what its about though!!!

 

[Juan Albion]

Hon. Mensh. for "Powderfinger" written allegedly for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Great cover version by the Beat Farmers.

Also a brilliant cover version by the Cowboy Junkies. And Margo is better looking than Neil. But then most people are.

Prelude I believe.

[Icy Gull]

Not a Neil Young song but he was in the band and this is one of my all time favourite songs, so a loose coonection to this thread

YouTube - Buffalo Springfield

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Prelude I believe.

[yt]d6BzTCQ6Nqo[/yt]

that was the one....but what is it about?

 

[cheshunt seagull]

It's between Helpless, Cortez and Southern Man for me. Saw him do a blistering version on Southern Man in Finsbury Park in 93.

Saw the great man with Challenge Chappers at Hammersmith last Saturday. Fantastic gig, and you never know whether it might be his last

If you haven't got the new album, Chrome Dreams 2, get it. 3 fantastic new ragged rockers (Ordinary People, Spirit Road and No Hidden Path) .

Have to agree with Voroshilov about best album, On the Beach.

Best song?........f*** knows, I couldn't choose between any of about 30!

 

[dougdeep]

After the Goldrush.

 

[Stinky Kat]

rapid transit from reactor

 

[crasher]

Many great tunes but for me it has to be Ohio, that opening riff is quite chilling bearing in mind what the song is about even more so.

I have to agree. Ohio has a power all of its own.

 

[NMH]

My favourite is the sultry 'Going Back' from Comes A Time

Bizarre vid, some bunch of socialites poncing around being 'so cooool', but it is actually Neil Young poncing about

 

[mrhairy]

Lookin' For A Leader from Living with War. Got the lyrics that state that Americas next President might be a woman or a blackman. Inspired now with the Clinton race. A great protest album. Strange how the only real good protest songs are being done by a 60 year old.
