Canadian legend.
Been around for years; used to member of boring 'supergroup' Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
His solo stuff after CSN&Y is better though. After the Goldrush, Harvest and On the Beach were must-have albums when I was at school.
Has done other stuff since but haven't really listened to him since the 70s.

Decade has got to be one of the best single artist compilation albums although it only really covers his early solo stuff. Some excellent guitar riffs though like Ohio, A man needs a maid, Heart of gold. Not only could he write good music, but the lyrics often tell a story, Cortez the Killer, Powderfinger, Broken Arrow, Sugar Mountain etc. Live albums also worked really well for him.
Some of the stuff in his middle years is not so good as he was not happy with his record label. Otherwise their is so much good stuff.
Definately up their or above the giants like Greatful dead, zappa, doors, beatles, floyd and zep.

Of the slightly more recent stuff, try "Downtown" off 'Mirrorball" - a real stomper.
There's a place called Downtown
Where the hippies all go
And they dance the charleston
And they do the limbo
Yeah the hippies all go there
'Cause they want to be seen
It's like a room
full of pictures
It's like a psychedelic dream

I liked the Zuma album also as well as earlier stuff mentioned by Gwylan.
He went a bit right wing / farm aid for a while in the eighties...

Seconded.
'Decade' is a damn good place to start getting into Neil Young – 2 CDs of quality stuff from his early years.
I'd then recommend 'Weld', a live double CD from 1991. Amazon says: "if you're looking for a live document of Neil Young and Crazy Horse at their speaker-shredding, stage-scorching best, Weld is an absolute must-own. Fired up by the success of 1990's Ragged Glory, and outraged by the eruption of the Gulf War, Young and his cohorts attacked their 1991 tour like men on a suicide mission. An angry, gunshot-laced version of Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" is the closest thing here to an acoustic reverie; the rest of the album offers up staggeringly intense electric versions of Neil songs both current ("Crime in the City," "Love to Burn," "Rockin' in the Free World") and classic ("Cortez the Killer," "Cinnamon Girl," "Powderfinger"). The back-cover photo of a disheveled Young cradling a broken-stringed guitar pretty much says it all--no one could have unleashed a sonic onslaught this brutal, and emerged unscathed from the experience."
(Early pressing of this came with a bonus disc 'Arc'. It's 33 minutes of nothing but feedback, and possibly one of the least accessible recordings ever issued!)

What's wrong with FarmAid?
Whoever said Boy Named Sue is a legend. I can't believe Cash is dead..Like a bit of Rodgers as well actually.. but the best has to be the Beatles..

Not sure if anything is, so forgive my flippant comment. I always connect it (maybe unfairly) to Neil Young and his Hawks and Doves period and the conservative political songs on that album.
It also seemed to me at the time a little obscene for Dylan and Young to be raising millions for US Farmers right after Live Aid, but maybe US family farmers are equally as deserving of charity as anyone else..
