Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

Jesus christ... The singing is awfull. Instrumentals are pretty good, but good god, some of the vocal performance is dreadfull. Dont get how this album got a spot on this list. 'Farmer John' might be the worst song ive heard in the almost 50 albums of this project so far. Fuck Farmer John, his daughter and especially Neil. This song ruined my day. Album has some great guitar work though, thats why its not a 1/5
