Rust Never Sleeps

meh

Got better as I listened

Hey, hey, hey remains a stand-out banger, otherwise other songs are forgettable with some exceptions

Meh

I was kinda sleepy when I put this record on, and I guess I’m a little surprised that it kept me feeling that way given the band’s name is Crazy Horse. I like Neil Young, but after all the soft folk stuff I’ve been really itching to hear his wilder side. I don’t think this one had it for me. I would disagree this is an essential listen at this time. Call me back when I’ve heard 10 more of these albums.

Not available on Spotify

Surprisingly enjoyable.

Not crazy about Neil Young's voice, honestly. Solid album though.

Neil and all the others, just upload your work in spotify

Southern rock

"Rust Never Sleeps" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse is a live album that captures the raw energy of Young's performances during his 1978 tour. The album is divided into an acoustic set and an electric set, showcasing Young's versatility and stage presence. The acoustic portion features tracks like "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" and "Pocahontas," which highlight Young's introspective songwriting and folk-rock sensibilities. The electric set, on the other hand, includes classics like "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)," characterized by distorted guitars and a heavier sound. While the album captures the essence of a Neil Young concert, it might not be the best entry point for newcomers to his music. The live recordings can sometimes lack the studio polish of his studio albums. Additionally, while some fans appreciate the live atmosphere, others may prefer the original studio versions of these songs. In summary, "Rust Never Sleeps" is a solid live album that captures Neil Young's prowess as a performer, but its appeal may be more limited to fans who enjoy the live experience. It deserves a respectable 3/5 rating.

Folk-rock My my, hey hey Trasher

Decent live album

My favorite songs were My My, Hey Hey (Int the black)" and Thrasher and Sail Away (has a bluegrass feel), Powderfinger. I like how the intro song was redone as the last song on the album, but with distortion. I find the album a little repetitive, the guitar riffs almost always have a chord, walkdown, chord, chord formulation. And the chord progression in the verse and chorus match often, which feels flat. Neil's voice isn't very strong so I think it brings the quality down a bit, but I know he wrote the songs so I'm all for him singing them.

3.6/5

It was alright

First half is fairly decent singer songwriter fare. Second half sounds kinda like the Pixies.

When this album started I was like "Oh sick, this will be fun!" I didn't have that same enthusiasm at the end...

Enjoyed the difference in sound between the acoustic side and the electric side. Loved a few of the tracks on the album (My My Hey Hey, Powderfinger, Sail Away, Hey Hey My My) but the rest were just ok. (3/5)

The first half of this is acoustic, and I actually kind of liked it more than the previous Neil Young album I listened to. The back half is more rock, and not too bad as well. So it turns out that I mostly hate Neil Young's 60s output (so far). 3/5

Highlights: "Powderfinger," "Ride My Llama," "Thrasher," "Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)" Ragged Glory would give us much more of the key sound here, but nothing there is as good a song as "Powderfinger," and this album feels more engaging and less monotonous because, like Stop Making Sense, it steadily builds and builds in ensemble and dynamics until it can't go higher, and then holding that energy feels more rewarding because it's been earned. The unexpected downside, also found on Ragged Glory, is much of the songwriting. Young can be uncomfortably uninhibited and leak out some deeply embarrassing pseudoironic ideas ("Pocahontas"), but it's also sometimes just erratic and unstable ("Sedan" and "Hey Hey"). Understandable that "Powderfinger" and "Into the Black" were historically raucous and raw guitar performances, where the gate is crumbling under a totally wrecked signal. We haven't really gotten dirtier than that; people have explored other flavors and frequencies, but what we have here is basically the limit.

This is the seventh album starring Neil Young that I've had so far. That is way too much Neil Young for a lifetime. Best album by him so far though. "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" is probably gonna be the only song by Neil Young that I'll actually remember after I'm done with this project. Also put your music back on Spotify you old miserable geezer. Listening to music on Youtube feels degrading somehow.

it was ok, not in love with neil youngs voice, this isnt my brand of rock that i prefer, most of the songs sound the same.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: My my hey hey

Belle progression, belles guitares, textes curieux

ok

Neil Young number five. I've been all over the place with his albums. This one has its own feel sometimes, although I don't think it rates with some of the others, and I'm really thinking that Young is over-represented in this project at the expense of other deserving artists.

I didn't really love it, but I tolerated this album just fine. At no point did a have an overwhelming urge to hit skip, and I did appreciate the change in style mid-album...I guess that is worth something...just not quite enough to move the rating arrow.

Back when I was in college, I used to hang out at this bar where *so much drama* went down. There was this one bartender who had zero tolerance for Neil Young and this other guy who apparently *lived* to play Neil Young. Oh, and did I mention the magic tricks? Yep, the Neil guy would perform magic for women like he was auditioning for a spot in Vegas. I couldn’t tell what was more awkward—the bartender’s quiet rage as Neil’s greatest hits blasted or the magician’s attempts to charm women with card tricks. Honestly, I just went there for the wings. Best wings ever.

Liked the first half. Apparently the second half is very influential, but wasn't my thing.

My my, hey hey, the front end of this album is not okay. Featuring some of the most dismal and grating recordings in Neil's catalog, if not of all time, this album shouldn't be on this list. Neil has plenty of music in his career to pick from, this is not the album I would have chosen. It finally starts to pick up a bit with Powderfinger. This album is supposedly a mix of live and studio overdubs and it shows with the rough mix and sloppy performance, but goddamn are the guitars in Hey Hey, My My nasty as fuck. +1 for that tone that's going to haunt my dreams

Not a huge fan of Neil Young, i think its his general demeanor and ego. The album is not bad, it has its enjoyable moments. Overall positive, but I don't need to listen again

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The more I listen to Neil Young, the less I like his albums. There's still a few songs on here that rock, but on the whole, he feels really overrated.

A mix of live/studio album from 1979. The odd highlight such as the opening track but overall - just whelmed. I'll check out the more acclaimed albums for a better idea.

this is a fine album. neil young is always going to have good sing a long, lead line laden guitar rock. fine in the background. a bit repetitive to me, at times.

not bad, decent songs none stood out except hey hey my my

not on Spotify

I couldn't 'cause it wasn't available in my country...

B-side was surprisingly heavy

Hyvä levy. Outo konsepti jälkiäänittää levilevyn päälle ehkä? 3/5

Just like that man a lot and even the live „Album“ is Good.

It’s just okay for me. A generous three for My My Hey Hey or Hey Hey My My depending on your preference.

Pleasant but forgettable

I liked it. Neil Young may have a bit of a whiney voice but I'm into that.

It was fine.

Acoustic 1st half vs. electric 2nd half was an interesting experience.

The first half of the album was more folk rock, the second half more rock. It was a pleasant listen but I don't find this album particularly special. 3.25-3.5/5

This feels good, this might be one of my favorite Neil Young albums I've heard other than Harvest! Definitely less hit potential than Harvest, but it's really solid all the way through, and the band just adds an extra flavor to it. I would absolutely put this on while doing other things. Neil Young never ceases to get me just a little more bittersweet-feeling than I did before. 3/5

Given his vocal styles and guitar chops, Young was always better live. You never knew what you were gonna get. It felt like a real performance; never the same things twice. I also much prefer Young to his predecessors like Dylan. He's a more relatable lyricist who's words transcend the time in which they were written...for the most part. That said, the first half of this record, made up of mostly acoustic arrangements and Neil's voice, COMPLETELY obliterates the back half, which is a much more studio-driven, full band collection of tracks.

Just fine really I liked Hey, Hey, My My

ok, esse é tipo o quarto album dele que eu recebo, mas eu gostei de todos ate agora então pode continuar. dessa vez é ao vivo? eu não entendi, parece ser meio a meio. o lado A falta rock, não que neil young seja o cara mais rock de todos, mas enfim. o lado B ja começou mais forte. sedan delivery é foda, meio glam rock até. é um album ok.

Ágætt stöff.

Not exactly revolutionary but it's ok

I think this is a case of liking the things inspired by this album more than I like the album itself. It's fine, just nothing that keeps me coming back for more.

The Crazy Horse presence makes things a bit lukewarm here.

Not bad. Started out sad, but got better. The R and A in that font look almost the same. Another album, where people in the YT comments talk about their deceased loved ones. + Ride My Llama + Sail Away + Powderfinger + Sedan Delivery

F you Neil Young. You think that taking your music from Spotify is gonna change anything ... you sexxy mutton-chopped beast... YEAH it will ... YEAH you are... I'd ride your llama any day... "My, my, hey, hey, I had to go to YT to listen today ..."

The bookends ("My My, Hey Hey" and "Hey Hey, My My") are great, and some of my favorite Neil Young songs. I also just love the concept of doing that on an album. However, there's not much to support them in between. My least favorite Neil Young is the stuff that's a bit too folky and slow and wallowy. And that's most of this album. I usually think of Young as a good lyricist, but "Thrasher" left me scratching my head. A little too on the nose and cringey. And why is he wondering how he lost his friends!? He "got bored and left them there!" "Welfare Mothers" was another weird one that didn't work for me. "Powderfinger" and "Sedan Delivery" were the closest the rest of the album got to my preferred version of Neil. Rust may be always awake, but I'm not sure I was for the middle of this album.

Nice but my go to is Harvest, didn't get the same feel from this one but it was nice. Obviously the exception is Hey Hey My My which is a staple of his.

3/5. It’s got some pretty great songs but if this was half its length and just an EP, it would be great. Just some songs that sound like other ones and aren’t unique enough to stand on their own.

Good, some parts very good

Another Neil Young album on the list and I'm fine with that. It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

Oh, did Neil Young write "It's better to burn out than fade away"? I guess I didn't know this was Neil Young. Has anyone ever said, "HEY MAN, NICE MOUTH ORGAN SOLO, DO ANOTHER ONE!"? He's very much like Dylan for me, I'm not quite sure whether I hate his voice or not. Songs are good though. The rest of the band just showed up. I think I like his voice. Is Into The Black or Out of the Blue better? I like the guitars in Into better. Some real fucking passion in that song. Good songs, I'm leaning towards liking his voice. 3 / 5 stars.

I'm giving this 3 stars. I should give it 2 for having to endure listening to it on Youtube. I hope we're done with Neil Young, but fear we'll get another album in a week.

This sounds exactly like every other Neil Young album. Which is completely fine.

Some good songs here. Anyone else hear Candle in the Wind in Thrasher’s harmonica solo?

this is a mediocre Neil Young Album. Enjoyable, but no idea why its a 1001

Somehow Neil Young always soothes me, but I'd never go out and buy an album of his.

Not much to say. Okay.

Pretty average

I think this is the best Neil Young album we've had? Like the two different versions of the same song to start and close the album, agree that Powderfinger is great, and I don't think there's a bad song on it? 3/5... closest we've had to a 4 in a while but I still don't like Neil Young's voice.

Interesting that the album got heavier as it progressed. Raw guitars and simple but effective rhythms. Last song is a banger.

I've heard a lot of these before that I didn't realize I'd heard. These songs have a melancholic, nostalgic edge that is not afraid to come off as sentimental. Slightly saccharine, but in that way that Neil Young always is. Per usual, the guitar playing is phenomenal and beautiful, and rightfully takes the spotlight from the singing. Some lyrics that are inscrutable and/or uncomfortable through a modern lens, but not offensive. I need to read more about this album to understand its angle. "Powderfinger" is really good. I found "Sail Away" underwhelming. There's an element of irony and commentary that doesn't translate well in the modern era but I guess was understood at the time - much of Neil's career seems this way, with some things being more on the nose than others. "Sedan Delivery" sounds like The Doors could have written it. Not my style of jam honestly - too much 60s psych. "My My, Hey Hey" and "Hey Hey, My My" kick ass. Ending on such a hard note was a great choice, especially since the preceding two tracks were much weaker than the album started.

I was recently made aware that Neil Young makes a whopping nine appearances on this list. Can one man really have that much influence and power in this book? That's a lot of amateur singing to get through. Anyway, this particular sound is better for Neil Young. The singer-songwriter vibe coupled with his, admittedly, mediocre voice makes the music sound more genuine and natural. There's also tinges of melancholy that adds another layer to the music. Some of it is quite nice, actually. Still not something I'd go back to but it was a nice listen. Standout tracks were Powderfinger and Sail Away.

Awakrd to find on spotify because Neil Young's estate hates us. Let's see.

I think I get it now, I get why people are into Neil Young, but I still think he's got the whiniest voice I've ever heard.

Not usually a Young fan, but the addition of Crazy Horse on this LP balances out what I usually dislike to make for an entertaining product. The gradual ramp from the slow as molasses tempos Neil favors to some nearly breakneck songs at the end of the album was a fun ride, and there’s some great sizzling guitar on here to underscore the usual narrative songwriting that leads to a fun and unique product.

Meer fan van het 2e deel, die wat harder is. Het eerste deel vond ik heel eentonig

3.5/5. It's Neil Young, so it's a bit above average, but overall fine.

I rolled my eyes when this showed up. After Dylan's live album last week, I thought the algorithm was trying to White-Guy-With-Guitar-And-Harmonica me to death. But I enjoyed this way more than I expected. Never was a huge Young fan, though I always respected him and enjoyed his contributions to other bands. But his voice always grated. Not at all on today's listen, though. I might give this one another listen at some point to see if it grows on me even more.

Can't listen to this because I have Spotify and Neil Young does not! It's likely I'd give Neil a 4 for his music and a 2 for his curmudgeonly views on audio quality.

My My Hey Hey is a certified godpiece. Thrasher is ok, it's funny to hear Neil Young say rock will never die, his voice just sounds too nerdy to say that. Love that harmonica. Ride my llama was ok, nothing to write home about, kinda boring for a song with a great name. Pocahontas stood out, I really liked that song. The rest of it kinda blended, probably as a result on not actively listening... 3.5 stars that I'm giving 3 because I had to listen on youtube... I'm gonna listen to some kpop now.

Turns out I really like Neil Young’s music beyond his major hits. His voice is very soothing, and I enjoyed the lyrics in these songs. I liked Powderfinger most of all.

Classic Neil Young sound.

Ganska bra skiva.

Gets progressively better (less folky) but not my thing. Opener and closer the highlights

Enjoyed the second half more than the first half, but loved the songs "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" and "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" which bookend the album. Sounded like classic Neil Young with some more interesting heavier rock later in the album. The line "better to burn out than fade away" is present here which I've heard referenced a lot (not sure if I agree with it, but unfortunately pervasive in music i.e. Cobain, Staley). I enjoyed the album overall, but wouldn't look to actively listen again. Great campfire music.

A harder rock album than Neil would usually create. He does a good job and the album has a lot of range. Some tracks are fun to listen to and some fall short. I’ve never been a fan of live music, so that doesn’t help my opinion of the album. I’d like to give it a higher score, but I honestly don’t think it earned it. It’s sort of a forgettable album. 3/5

saoulée sur la fin tu connais mais mention spéciale pour le premier morceau

Have a couple of albums, not a big fan

Good album. Hey hey my my, is the best track. A lot of other good songs as well. Some of it was live.

ну чё-то не моё

No está en Spotify ni una sola canción

First side is acoustic, classic songs. Second side is more rock forward, not bad but kind of drags the first half down.

I've heard plenty of Neil Young songs, but I've never heard of this album. I'm usually not a fan of live albums, and it's an interesting choice to mix live songs with studio-recorded ones but I don't think I liked the overdubbing. You expect to hear audience reactions/clapping/participation and it's essentially been removed. The acoustic live songs sound the same, whether he's singing about riding a llama or the plight of Native Americans. I liked the studio songs better, but lyrics like "Welfare mothers make better lovers/Out on the street with the whole family now" don't sit well with me unless there's some underlying sarcastic joke I'm not aware of.

Semi decent I guess. I enjoyed the slower songs quite a bit more than the hard rock ones towards the end of the record. Overall I think it was fine. 5/10

This rocks wayyyy too much Like way way way way too much Calm your falm Neil Young

Very woke

Enjoyed most of the acoustic half albeit not to a notable degree. The electric guitar half was more enjoyable to me, but “My My, Hey Hey” as an opener is pretty incredible. Best song: My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)

Neil Young is the kind of man who would sleep with your mum, spit in her face and give her herpes. A weak, pathetic little loser with a notably enormous dick. Yes, if it wasn't for that man's gigantic horse cock, I wouldn't have a father. To be clear, Neil Young is not my father, nor is he my step father, but his massive penis was like a father to me during some of my most troubled times.

5th Neil Young album. Some more diversity would really have been appreciated, mister Robert Dimey. As always, I don't mind any of his output too much, but it gets kind of samey and the difference between his best and the rest is pretty huge. As always, rating somewhere between 2.5-3.5. The final two tracks stood out as uncharacteristic but interesting rock songs.

Good but not my jam

needed more camelids

first listen some good songs, but man i can't get on board with Neil's voice

Great sounding and well sequenced, very harmless. A decent record.

It was enjoyable but not really my thing Album Cover: Meh 2/5

Not my favorite Neil Young, a couple nice tunes but overall more middle of the road hard rocking Neil Young, and less poignant folky Neil Young.

Nothing blew me away but it was a good album. Standout was "Powderfinger"

Good folk rock, but the recording quality is subpar and Young's voice didn't fully resonate with me on some of those tracks.

Not a big Neil Young fan. Just not crazy abut his music though it's easy to listen to. 6/10.

Ok-ish album. Not great, not bad. Not really a fan of Neil Young. 2,5/5

I liked it. But i didnt love love it. Think my rating spectrum may be evolving.

Drôle d'album avec des pièces live et d'autres non. J'aime le fait que la face A soit acoustique et la face B soit électrique. Ce n'est habituellement pas mon style, mais j'aime bien ce que Neil fait. C'est souvent croche, mais je trouve que c'est ce qui fait son charme. Hey Hey, My My est une incontournable. Perso je préfère la version Into the Black.

Great songs but live format gets a little dull.

As a big Neil fan this album was a huge disappointment… there’s some good stuff here but it just feels really uninspired. 2.5 stars

Few notes: I already knew this album, but I'm not a genre fan. I remember playing "Hey Hey My My" with my friends (don't ask me why Neil himself changed the order of the title every time, sometimes he even changed the lyrics, haha). That song has an iconic guitar riff, so you can easily recognize it from the first notes. Every rock guitar player should know that song: it is considered a standard, so you can probably play it during a jam session, even with people you don't know. All you need to do is work around the riff, put a kicking groove, and then you can try to improve it.

This album is pretty bland until Powderfinger. Then, it's like a switch flipped: Powderfinger, Welfare Mothers, and Sedan Delivery all carry what was set to be a pretty underwhelming album for me. Even the outro version of Hey Hey, My My has considerably more interesting instrumentals. I'll be interested to hear more Neil Young albums to see if this is a trend for him. Favorite track: Welfare Mothers

Interesting mix of live and post-produced, acoustic and electric. Personally the acoustic side without Crazy Horse is much better than the rough-sounding electric side, and the opening track is an instant winner. 3.5 stars altogether, dragged down from 4 because some of the later tracks are a little self-indulgent. I hear it criticised every now and then but I love Neil Young’s voice. It has a really raw, reedy quality, that seems to break in earnest and truly elevates the emotion in his songs - see “The Needle and the Damage Done” from the album Harvest. I had to stream this via YouTube. I’m a little heartbroken that I can’t listen to Neil Young on the go through Spotify, but I appreciate his sticking by his principles.

Enjoyed it, but probably won't go back to it. Powderfinger best song 3.5/5

The spotify killer

1) My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue): "It's better to burn out than to fade away" 2) Thrasher: Calm country music, feels I'd listen to this when I'm 70. 3) Ride my Llama: picks up some speed but probably my least favourite on the album. 4) Pocahontas: Favourite song on here, love the message and slow rhythm. 5) Sail Away: Smoother with female voice and harmonica, works well. 6) Powderfinger: begins to descend into heavier rock 7) Welfare Mothers: Turns into pure rock after this point, especially this song. 8) Sedan Delivery: continuing into the rock 9) Hey, Hey, My, My (Into the Blue): Similar to last song, but in a rockier form and nice conclusion to the album. There is some stuff I really like here, and some tracks I will definitely return to. Can appreciate the change in the 2nd half of the album though. I'd give this a 7 if I could.

Not a bad listen but other than the first track doesn't feel very memorable. Most of the tracks sound the same

Better than yesterday for sure. I could see myself listening to Neil Young in the future.

6.9

Great background music but don’t think I’ll listen to it again.

Disappointed - some well crafted songs, but not really a fan of Young's voice.

3.5/5

Couldn’t listen on Spotify ☹️ But I bet it was good.

Good album - simply accoustics. Don't fuck with it too much but hey - if you it it's pretty lit.

I like the sound and his vocals pair well with the instruments. His lyrics are a bit too much and he comes across as an ass hole. Not bad but I won't come back to it.

An interesting listen with half being acoustic and half electric. Young doesn't have the strongest voice but is a great songwriter/story teller.

Not on spotify.

Pretty good Neil album

Mad decent

Not bad

I've not really listened to much late Neil Young music (I love his early stuff) as I've always thought he'd run out of ideas by then. This kinda confirms that opinion although there are a few outstanding tracks I need to go back to. For a live album (well partly 'live' and then finished off in the studio) it's got a good feel to it and the songs are new with something to say (although a bit dated now). Overall it's a good listen for a Neil Young fan although I do think 7 albums on this chart might be a bit excessive.

Good album, worth another listen

Reminds me of long car trips. It is a classic, but not an amazing one

Well I know it’ll probably be good music but a shame spotify can’t be used… The album starts with my my hey hey( out of the blue) it’s a well done song with good instrumentation and lyrics Just not one that hits for me on any level. Next is thrasher it’s a very solid song a little the same as the last one but it’s still okay. With Ride my lama I didn’t like the recording quality here but I thought it was fairly fun. Pocahontas is probably my favourite of the “ normal” Neil young songs on here yeah it still doesn’t strike any main chords with me but is a great display of music. Sail away ends the first half it sounds like a poorly done version of a Bob Dylan type song to be honest. I don’t know if it’s because of the help from crazy horse but the big band atmosphere works amazingly with Neil especially on the first half of that part powderfinger. Welfare mothers is loud and rocking brilliant song. The penultimate track sedan delivery is almost like Neil young does punk yeah he’s so much better when in a band. The last song hey hey my my ( into the black) is like a rockier continuation of the first song very solid. Well once he had a big band I liked it.

Alright, liked the first half better than the second.

Love Neil. However, never bought an album

I'll allow it

i despise neil young, but i have to admit this wasn’t his WORST album. don’t get me wrong bud voice still made me angry but i’ve definitely heard worse.

Who can write something about Neil Young that hasn't been written (positive or negative and everything in-between...)... There is definitely a large handful of his songs that I enjoy, some quite a lot - is it nostalgia or do I actually love them? Hard to unravel. I'll say this - tons of people hate his voice but I think it's his primary signature and at least in non-huge doses I like it. What I DO hate is his electric guitar playing - I haven't spent the time figuring it out but he might be my most annoying lead player of all-time - any genre. Every gd solo is the same shit: frenetic coked-out endless string bends, rarely letting any notes just *be* - I hate it. Maybe a bit hypocritical because that's also a big signature of his, but it's too much. He should have let anyone else on earth play leads for him. Having said that, "Hey Hey My My" is a classic - no question. The acoustic songs here are quite nice. I think after a while he does get a little ... eh, "boring" is overused (probably by me)... there are only so many major-minor 4/4 songs you can do with this ensemble before you have to try something different, and I love when he finally does - one notable example for me is "Ride my Llama" - some very cool chord progressions in this one. I steer away from the more country-laden ones (e.g. "Sail Away") (also token "something something...great lyrics" here i guess) Overall it's a nice listen - not too long, I like the spaciousness of the acoustic live recordings, but most of the band tracks are meh. I know we have about 80 Neil Young albums to go on this list (....) - I'd personally distill this one to liking 5-6 of the 9 songs, so I'll cop out and give this a pretty strong 3 and move on. 6/10 3 stars

Just droning. Maybe I'm not on enough drugs.

Carino, ma niente di più

3, it was fine

Starts out good but as the album progressed it became less typical Neil Young and also the songs got worse. Overall not a bad album but it left me a bit disappointed, especially right after listening to the Byrd's which is everything this album could and should have been

Never been a huge Neil Young man… this is passable… can’t say anymore than that!

Far better than the last Neil Young & Crazy Horse album on here that was a weird grunge experiment. I like how the album comes full circle with its opening and closing songs. A bit weird in some places, but overall enjoyable.

I kind of hate Live albums, this one was okay though.

I thought this was a pretty good album. 70s Neil young is always half decent. This album had some melodic rhythms and was good lyrically. Could listen to this one again. 7.4/10

LOVE Neil Young but this isn't an album I have loads of nostalgia for or have ever really got into loads, that meant although I listened to it twice it faded into the background a lot. It became a kind of slightly cheesy mushy mush with a lot of guitar solos. I'd love to actually see Neil Young live! I think I'd appreciate the musician-ship more and be really impressed. This album because nice background noise for me which is ok but nothing to write home about.

I did enjoy this and it had some Neil Young songs that I really like on it but as we've said before I think he gets carried away in his live shows and goes over the top on what he thinks the people want

nice to listen to but was bored by track 6. All felt same-y. First Neil Young album i've listened to so assume there must be better than this as he's meant to be a legend.

Neat.

Starts off with an acoustic masterpiece, followed by four more decent acoustic tracks. If you're a Neil Young fan like me, you'll love it, but there's nothing outstanding here beyond lyrics that you don't already see surpassed in his other albums. These songs are the reason why I dropped from 4 to 3. I think the real highlight is the other 3 songs and the "Hey Hey My My" outro that rightfully deserves the title of "proto-grunge." I was confused in Ragged Glory why Cobain and Vedder considered Young as a huge inspiration if their albums came out before or the same time. But here it is. It's rough, raw, and distorted, taking inspiration in itself from the adjacent punk movement. There's a progression that keeps get wilder, until we reach the penultimate "Sedan Delivery" which I can't believe is a Neil Young song, reminds me of 90s acts like Primus. Absolutely love the flips between slow, melodic, almost psychedelic to the fast-pace jam. Great callback in that outro to remind where we've gone in under 40 minutes.

Definite Neil Young sound. Quite listenable. 3*

Good stuff.

I liked this less than a typical Neil Young album. Live albums just... don't sound as good. Intro and outro versions of hey hey my my were my favourite bits. It was interesting to hear electric guitar featured heavily across a Neil Young album, makes me think of the blowback when Bob Dylan did the same

Hadn’t heard it before. Starting to come round to Neil Young more over the past year or so and there’s a lot I haven’t listened to yet so I was glad to give this one a listen. Probably won’t be my favorite of his, but I liked it. Interesting the two versions of My My Hey Hey bookending the record

Great start off the bat, love the vibe! But as it gets along the same problems as early Bob Dylan or Ryan Adams are apparent. The harmonica kills my ears. But I love it non the less. Short and sweet. 4 But made me lose the game during "Sedan Delivery" So I gotta bump it down. Great song though. High 3

Hmm... My My, Hey Hey is a classic. That's for sure. The rest of the songs I'm having a bit of trouble getting into. They are fine, but nothing amazing. Sedan Mothers vocals are a bit annoying though, definitely don't like that one. I just wish some of the other tracks moved me a bit more, definitely not my fav Neil Young but culturally/objectively it's a 4. But, enjoyment is a 3 so I'm gonna do with a 3.

Two great songs, others are quite good. 3/5

Funny title names

Groot fan van ome Neil. Niet alles is even briljant maar dit vind ik wel een toffe plaat. Zeker live klinkt het erg sterk.

6/10

Better than other Crazy Horse albums on this list I’ve heard. Still…

Pretty nice album. I haven't listened to much Neil Young, and I'm starting to think his songwriting might be right up my alley. This may spark my interest in going down a Neil Young rabbit hole!

-My My, Hey Hey ist ein Banger -Thrasher gut aber geht nicht hart enought I think. Versucht tiefer reinzukommen vor paar Jahren. -Ride my Llama: way too good für den goofy ass namen lol

Pretty OK. I can see how it was influential but a lot of the "Native American influences" don't age well.

The album starts off on a extremely good song, but can't really hold that standard for the rest of the album. Still really good though.

Perty good. I liked some a lot more than others

This such an easy listen. I felt like drinking an iced tea on a porch after going through the entire album. I'm kinda shocked that it took me this long to listen to this one.

7/10

Good, later songs great!

Incredible songwriter, but I always get hung up in his voice.

Can an album be both good and slightly exhausting at the same time? Yes. This is how I would say this one is for me. Neil Young is one of my hero’s hero’s if that makes sense. I’ve never listened to much but I can see the influence so by proxy I dug a lot of the aesthetics in this album. Always lyrics first this one has some great songs, however it got a bit boring by mid album and I wanted to end it. I probably dig the live tracks the best.

He may be a grumpy old codger these days, but I love Neil Young's voice. For that reason, I prefer the solo acoustic Side A (where Young's voice really stands out) to the full band Crazy Horse electric Side B. The symmetry of My My, Hey, Hey and Hey, Hey, My, My bookending the album is cool. Whilst I do really like this, I wonder whether it would have been even better as two separate albums. 4/5 for Side A, 3/5 for Side B = 3.5/5 overall.

Good - side 1 acoustic Neil like his classic early 70s LP's, then ROCK 9n side 2. Not as immediately loveable like Gold Rush and Harvest, but pretty good. A high 3 out of 5.

Very Niel Young. The only song which really caught my attention was the Llama one.

Fairly whimsical in places and found repetitive.

Pretty good. Some solid guitar

I'm slowly being turned into a Neil Young fan. At first I found his music slow/ dragged and weak instrumentally. Then I gave him a chance and loved what I heard. His live tracks have a different feel than compared to his studio stuff. "My, My, Hey, Hey is a beautiful/ captivating opening. That every track afterwards follows emotionally. Second Young album I gotten from this. And I'm afraid to say I'm sorta a fan. Reccomend it

Not my favourite Neil but it definitely demonstrates what a freaky guitar player he is. Loved the transition to electric in Powderfinger, absolute best song on the album as well.

Good

American songwriting is hard for me to appreciate.

ON WHICH a hippy sings folky songs about living in a teepee, SHREDS GUITAR LIKE A GENRE-PRESAGING MOTHERFUCKER, and pens the final line of Kurt Cobain's suicide note.

Love me some Neil Young. It's fun to hear more electric performances like this even if I prefer the more chill typical versions.

eh, was alright

quite enjoyed that and artist that likely passed me by a bit Seem to like him more the more I listen to him

Great start, tailed off

Like it.

Good but slow

Tracks 2-6, not heard before but good. I love Neil Young's stuff but not sure this is the best of his albums.

Folk rock . Algunos temas interesantes.

not bad, not very memorable though

never got the appeal of live albums, what does that add to the listening experience? Appart from that, some nice songs on here.

Overall not bad but I really, really do not get the boomer hype for Neal Young. Musically it sounded okay but was fairly monotonous, although the electric section was better. Vocals had some really rough moments, and the lyrics were really preachy and cliched 5/10

Musically uninteresting but mostly inoffensive. His voice is rough in spots too. 5

escuché un poco, quizás vuelva en otro momento, pero debo seguir

Sounds different from what I remember.

A mixture of typical Neil Young and some heavy stuff

First album of the generator. Quite a famous Neil Young album, but not one I've listened to (Harvest being my most familiar album of his), though of course I know the track "My My, Hey Hey". Thought this album quite strange, in that it jumps around in style and genre. Latter half of the album gave me a sort of glam rock vibe!

Honestly I’m having trouble enjoying this. I’m not a fan of Young’s voice. I think his storytelling is unmatched but this is first and foremost music, which the timbre of voice strongly influences. I enjoy welfare mothers, and the tracks that bookend the album. Is seems this album requires a particular state of mind

Overall I just think this is pretty boring. Neil Young is rock royalty and I respect him but I really never find myself with any urge to listen to him or collect his albums.

Not really my vibe" Welfare Mothers or Hey Hey. My My (into the black) are my favorites. Definitely gets more enjoyable as the album comes to a close

Didn't think I would like this but it's actually very good.

My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)

Sometimes the story behind the album really elevates it: new songs recorded live with the back half of the set featuring electric guitars. Another fantastic rock album!

My, My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), Powderfinger e Welfare Mothers

Not his best album.

ой, че-то хуй знает. с одной стороны хей хей, май май — нетленная классика, ну и например Saile Away зашла, да и Sedan Delivery прикольный панковый вайб даёт. Но типа... мех. Ещё и лайв концерт, которым, имхо, места среди величайших альбомов быть не должно (хотя здесь вроде ориджинал треки, так что ещё куда ни шло). В целом довольно дженерик кантри-рок с забавным вокалом Янга, какой-то дикой страсти не почувствовал. 6/10

Britpop goes Rock. Song2 würde bei FIFA 98 und auf den Scheunenparties totgedudelt und gefällt trotzdem irgendwie noch. Man hört die 90er aber eines der zeitloseren Rockalben der Zeit.

Country und Rockelemente. Man kann es gut hören während man aufräumt, schraubt, sortiert, plant. Geschichtenerzähler.

Par schöne Dinger dabei, reicht aber nicht für 4.

Schön zum Nebenbeihören, kannte nur weniges - so richtige Kracher habe ich jetzt nicht gefunden. Hey hey ... bleibt bleibt im Ohr.

Neil Young tem uma gaita mágica que transforma as musicas em musica de mendigo. As outras sao boas.

A mediocre 3/5

Was ok, got a bit fed up of Neil Youngs voice after a while

the neil young album to own

Chill to listen to.

I mean... its relaxing, not sure how much I care about riding a Llama. no drums out of 5

Nice

On the good side of ok, though a bit whiny

C'est gentillet un peu à part 2/3 chansons, pas mon Young favoris, surtout que je suis pas certain que ça soit un grand artiste à live ...

Fine.

Love a bit of Neil Young. Not sure why theres a load of live albums on this list, but I dig it. Everything broke at work so no time to review properly

It's good. But is it great? I'm not sure.

Reaper

Nice album. His special voice makes it a nice album. And of course because it is easy listening music.

3.4

Not my favorite Neil Young album but not bad. My my hey hey is the highlight for me

Not my fav Neil Young but still very good.

Started off slowly but ramped up quite unexpectedly towards the end. A pretty solid rock album.

Not really a huge fan of Neil Young, though I can appreciate the music and its influence. Not bad - some nice songs, but I probably won't be revisiting any time soon. (2.6)

A calm and relaxed album with a good instruments and a nice flow

ganska bra fakitkst

Helppoa rokkia

Is Ok Not exactly my style so far Fine, not for me

Got some Bob Dylan vibes, not a ton of variety, but a nice album.

Always thought Neil Young was like super annoying 80s stuff, but this was pretty cool folk stuff. Not bad.

Will give this more listens! I like the acoustic/rock split

Hyvä levy kokonaisuusja kasvoi kivasti koko ajan. Ei turhaan kehuttu

Pretty good. Acoustic side best side. First two and final track were favourites.

3.5! Some boring songs but Powderfinger and Hey Hey, My My are great.

Sorry it is Neil Young… Not Neil Diamond I only confused the Name… Pocahontas is saved and maybe One other song 2.5* finally

Fine

Neither good nor bad… as far as I’m concerned. Two stars…

First time listening to Neil Young. As I went through the list, I noticed he has a LOT of albums here. I think about seven. So I hope I like this, or this is gonna be rough. 01. My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) Really enjoyed. Not much to say about it, was good. 02. Thrasher Honestly really boring. Wasn't impressive. I didn't dislike it, it just left me bored. 03. Ride My Llama Favorite so far. This is definitely going to be a slower album, and I'm fine with that. Just a weird song. 04. Pocahontas I didn't care for the lyrics, but the best instrumentation so far. Still just sort of alright. 05. Sail Away Was fine. Inoffensive. 06. Powderfinger Took a while for me to be into it, but I eventually came around. Still don't love it, but I appreciate it. 07. Welfare Mothers I can't tell if this is suppose to be bashing or uplifting mothers on welfare. I like the instrumentation, but the lyrics are really wack to me. 08. Sedan Delivery There's enough slow here, just keep it fast paced the whole time! I didn't mind this, actually quite liked it. Just found it a bit boring. 09. Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) A better version of the opener. Overall, I preferred the first half, a lot more. Although it was close, as I didn't much care for this. Like it was fine, but stuff before this is much better than this, in my opinion.

oh wow this album is boring. it picks up a bit near the end but i didn't really care for most of it. neil young's voice is realllly grating to me

not sure why i like dylan, but can't really handle neil young's voice

I like his politics, but never really cared for his music

Neil Young is kinda cheeks This must've hit so hard if you were smoking the weakest joint in history. Sedan delivery is almost a punk song Into the Black is fine I guess. Nice guitar tone.

Was never a big fan.

I wish I enjoyed this more but I could not get my brain to find it satisfying/pleasing. Things I did enjoy: the storytelling/lyrics and the drums + guitar throughout the folky parts but especially the rock parts. I am just not a fan of Neil Young's voice here. :( Favorite Tracks: Powderfinger

I like Neil Young, but I've never clicked with this one - I just don't really like the live sound. My My, Hey Hey is a classic, but the rest of it just floats by. It's seemingly revered by everyone who's ever liked anything by him, but I just don't get it.

went into this expecting to hate it and was gripped by the first couple songs. then it fell off. i liked the acoustic vs electric idea but did not enjoy the electric songs - which is weird because i am not a fan of acoustic 70s rock at all. idk i wouldn’t come back to it but im not dreading the other neil young albums now.

Начинается альбом с шикарной My my, hey hey, а все, что после, совершенно не идёт ни в какое сравнение. Ожидания не оправдались

Un álbum creativo por parte de Neil y su grupo, sin embargo Harvest sigue siendo su mejor que he escuchado hasta ahora Hey Hey, My My es el estandarte de este álbum, muy melancólica y profunda se logra percibir el sentimiento con la que se interpreta en su primera versión Las otras canciones no es que estuvieran mal, de hecho es un folk muy bien producido, e incluso tienen protesta política en un par, solo no son las más memorables, pero si es una muestra del talento de Neil y de su pasión por la música esté siendo el undécimo álbum de su carrera Permitase escucharlo, no estoy seguro de si volvería recurrentemente a el, pero si lo disfruté

Ну неплохо, учитывая, сколько Нила Янга я уже здесь прослушал.

Jaahas, lisää nuorta Neiliä ja hevosiakin saatu mukaan. Se ei tätä kuitenkaan pelasta, vaan samaa paskaa edelleen.

ANOTHER Neil Young Album? I swear there was horrible guy that was always at the bar when I was in college, the jerk thought he was a musician, I bet he is on this stupid album selection committee ... this list seems like something he would do

A lot of Neil young but I’m a fan.

Ever been a big fan with the exception of the song pearl jam did and he played with them

Neil Young, with his quavery voice, running wild over Crazy Horse. At least this one feels more like a collaboration instead of Neil Young the taskmaster.

Powderfinger is okay Even welfare mothers 2 star album

I found it ok to have on whilst I was driving. Would I play it again? Would I fuck !

Listened to only a few, again Paris, but it was good classic Neil. Nothing too fancy. Just guitar, vocals, and twang.

ok.

Hey Neil, what the fuck are you talking about? "I wish I was a trapper, I would give a thousand pelts to sleep with Pocahontas and to find out how she felt in the morning on the fields of green, in the homeland we've never seen. And maybe Marlon Brando will be there by the fire. We'll sit and talk of Hollywood and all the good things there for hire. And the Astrodome, and the first teepee. Marlon Brando, Pocahontas, and me." "Welfare mother make better lovers. People, pick up on what I'm puttin' down now. Welfare mothers make better lovers. Down at every laundromat in town. Welfare mothers make better lovers when they're washin you can here this sound now. Welfare mothers make better lovers. Divorcee!" "I met a man from Mars, he picked up all my guitars and played me travelling songs. And when we got on ship, he brough out something for the trip. He said 'it's old but it's good,' like any other primative would. I'm gonna ride my llama from Peru to Texarkana. I wanna ride him good." "Sedan delivery is a job I know I'll keep. It sure was hard to find." Can someone check on ole Neil?

joy. meer neil young.

I didn't mind this album as much as I disliked the last NY+CH album (Ragged Glory) I had on here, but only marginally. I still don't enjoy Youngs voice, but these songs were decent-ish. It's still a 2 for me though, no desire to listen to any of it again. Standouts were "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" and "Sedan Delivery"

Side 1 is sitting round a campfire. Side 2 is living in Missouri, married to your cousin. I preferred the acoustic which if you knew me, tells you alot about Side 2

My my hey hey, sen resten fillers

Boring

Not a style I enjoy.

didn't really listen that hard

Not my current vibe

Mid

Maybe I'm in a bad mood but honestly how is this so highly rated. The music backing is so unspectacular. Neal sounds like a shaky joke and the leryics are far from special.

Harmonica is alot in this bas also a guy with a bad voice

Another Neil Young album where he's a sloppy rocker but never changes the way the guitar sounds or exactly hits the right notes. Maybe I just don't like live albums. I like Neil Young I promise! They should just cut all the songs that aren't My My Hey Hey and I would love it.

This was a headscratcher... how was this the best album of '79, peaks and valleys with this one

Made it up to Sail Away before I started skipping. I see the lyrical prowess in a couple of songs but I couldn't stomach the country man vibes

didn't realize appreciate this music so idk how to rate it

As I've said many times before, I'm not into Folk Rock and this album is as folky and as rocky as one can get. Being a live performance album doesn't help it either. Maybe I need some nostalgia or something else to fuel any kind of reaction from me. I wasn't raised on this genre of music and don't come from a place *heavy with it either. I don't have any association with it. I do recognize the talent and skill in this type of music but my brain chemistry wasn't built for it. I do want to highlight the history and connection of the opening track which would be my favourite track if I had to choose one. Kurt Cobain is next on my album list and just finding out that the verse "It's better to burn out than to fade away" was on his suicide note is heartbreaking. I lean more into the music instead of the lyrics so it takes some time for me to absorb what story is being told by the lyrics. I am sensing a poetic touch from Young that I appreciate; he really does have THAT folk rock voice that perfect. I'm already dedicating a certain amount of my free time to this project and I don't know if its wise to try and accumulate a taste for music like this (re-listening and examining) if I already know I won't be returning. T3: My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue), Pocahontas, Ride My Llama

not my cup of tea, só gostei das últimas

This album has a few glimmers of brilliance (the acoustic version of "Hey Hey...") and weirdo stuff that clicks ("Welfare Mothers") but the bulk of this collection is fairly forgettable stuff.

I see my feelings about Neil Young are shared with not a few others. When I saw this was in 1001 My first thought was “uh oh” but decided I should try on general principles. But by the end, along with my wife volunteering “I’ve never cared for his whiney voice” - exactly my thoughts by that point, my mind was made up. Plus variations on ‘My my, hey hey’ keep coming up on playlists, a song whose insipid lyrics strike my as all too Neal Young. 2 because of his influence.

Mercifully short. Fuck off Neil Young and your twenty thousand albums on this list. Crazy Horse albums are at least more manageable than the solo shit.

I'm already not a fan of partially live albums, and the fact I have to deal with this duo again really dampens the mood. Again, Neil Young was an activst who was instrumental on bringing awareness to many important social issues. Unfortunately, I just can't get into his music, admittedly, he never really has a terrible album(it's just rarely a good album as well). Favorite Track: "Ride My Llama".

Ooh I'm Neil young I have a whiny voice and my lyrics are vaguely poetic everyone loves me shut up man

Aburrido

It's a bit meh, can't lie. Couple decent tracks but I feel like there is better Neil Young to be heard. Top tracks: my my hey hey, ride my llama

It insists upon itself

Se me hace repititivo el estilo y poco llevadero en un punto. Aunque me gustan algunas canciones, asi cantadas y con guitarra y linda melodia, siento que siempre le falta algo.

Not really my thing. Anything with a harmonica is probably a no.

You're not gonna make me like him. He sounds like poor personal hygiene, desperate that his campfire strumming is going to impress.
