Post your list of what you feel are the top 10 Neil Young tunes.

 

I'll be thinking of mine this morning while in a department meeting. I do know one thing for sure: "Powderfinger" is No. 1.

"Daddy's rifle in my hand, felt reassurin'"

 

 

Maybe that should be on P & R Forum? :D

Here are Mine:

 

No order (Depends upon Mood).

 

 

Ohio

The Needle and the Damage Done

Southern Man

Old Man

On the Way Home (acoustic version at Massey Hall)

Cowgirl in the Sand (acoustic at Massey Hall or 4 Way Street)

Down by the River (CSNY version is good but solo features more Neil)

Old Laughing Lady (Always a haunting ballad that I love)

Helpless (With the Band on "The last Waltz)

 

 

I hate to put a last one so here are some others that are fun and/or always appealed to me:

 

Live Rust: Cortez the Killer, When You Dance, Sedan Delivery (For grins)

Sugar Mountain (First song I learned to Play and sound right)

 

Expecting to Fly, Campaigner and Long May You Run

This is like asking to list Jim Schue's :cool:top ten faults.:cool: There are so many it's hard to narrow a list down to ten, but I'll give it a shot.

 

 

Down by the River

Like a Hurricane

Such a Woman (one of the most underrated N.Y. tunes of all-time imo)

Hey Hey, My My

Keep on Rockin in the Free World

Ohio

Needle and the Damage Done

A Man Needs a Maid

Cortez, the Killer

Powderfinger

Heart of Gold

Old Man

Helpless

 

couldn't keep it under 13. A top 25 for one of the greatest ever would be much easier for me.

I was jotting stuff down in my meeting. Next thing I know, I'm approaching 20 tunes. :ohbrother:

I listed 13 but I could easily interchange many many songs with those I listed. Neil's just too prolific a songwriter to compose a top ten imo.

After the gold rush

Southern man

Ohio

Hey, Hey, my, my

Cinammon girl

Heart of gold

Keep on rockin in the freeworld

I am a child

Sugar mountain

Needle and the damage done

 

This may change if I could add other bands into the picture
