1001 Albums Summary

Overall: much more piano focused than most of his work, at least most of what i’ve listened to. it’s a beautiful, formative, and deeply political record that’s still politically relevant in many ways. don’t let it bring you down is still one of my favorite tracks by him. that being said, maybe i just prefer him with crazy horse? idk thoughts while listening: title track lowkey giving ben folds five ballad. ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART BY SAINT ETIENNE IS A NEIL YOUNG COVER????? southern man is a highlight for me. i think ive always just preferred his harder, more rock focused, or like experimental? tracks rather than his folkier stuff. not that i don’t appreciate or enjoy the calmer folky stuff. the harmonica on lonesome me is so good.

i get it, i understand. it’s technically very good, and there are some all timers on this album. like some truly incredible songs. but aside from like 4 songs, the album just kinda fails to be interesting.

it’s just kind of so safe, i feel like this is as heterosexual as disco can possibly be. but some all time classics are on here that cannot be denied. but then again i want your love could be one of the best songs ever written
