Neil Young just a little dull and somewhat painful on the ears?

[Peache Calhoon]

Its nice to see the younger generation getting into Neil Young. Its true, he completely blew the other acts off the stage at Hop Farm and was absolutely awesome. I have seen him many times over the years and each time it has been something really special. Those that decide to give him a miss at Glastonbury will kick themselves afterwards when they realise what they missed!

[BeddyDriver]

Jeeeeeezzz, why will people kick themselves ?

I wont be watching him, cos i dont particularly like his music, and as per the previous post, i am pretty sure ill be able to stumble across a little gem somewhere whilst everyone else has fallen asleep in front of the pyramid.

A lot of people said i would regret it if i missed JZ last year. I gave him 10 minutes, and regretted bothering...

There are plenty of other things going on, and ill be enjoying some of them !

[alframsey]

What! they bothered making a 'greatest hits album' !!!

Has trading standards been informed ??

[Peache Calhoon]

strictly speaking, it's not a 'greatest hits', but a 'best of'... subtle difference.

If there isn't anything on Decade for you to enjoy, well. Id be intirgued as to what you do like..

something odd about someone hanging around a thread about someone you plainly don't like....???

[ralph250]

after the goldrush

everybody knows this is nowhere

on the beach

zuma

harvest

unplugged

then there's a few live ones worth a listen

live rust

rust never sleeps

ragged glory

and not forgetting

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Deja Vu (which everyone should have aswell)

edit: if you've got decade, I'd say get after the goldrush and on the beach first....everybody knows this is nowhere and harvest are pretty well represented on decade. The unplugged album is delightful and zuma's superb aswell.

On the beach is worth getting for "motion pictures" alone

Neil Young isn't for everyone but i'm sure there will be a lot more to do shoulkd you wish to avoid the Pyramid Stage while he's on.

Can i ask again? How often does Neil Young play on a candle lit stage?

[alframsey]

You'll need some amount of candles for the pyramid,

[alframsey]

not you..

that Peache character...

Harvest Moon is pretty good. I find Zuma slightly hard word...

[LRW]

What sort of music does he play on Zuma?

Edited January 28, 2009 by LRW

[alframsey]

Neil Youngy sort of music.

From Wiki....

It has an overall more upbeat atmosphere, with a combination of country-tinged rock acoustics and lumbering hard-rock pieces similar in style to songs on Young's second album, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. As on the latter album, Young is backed up by Crazy Horse with the late Danny Whitten being replaced by Frank Sampedro.

Side One

"Don't Cry No Tears" – 2:34

"Danger Bird" – 6:54

"Pardon My Heart" – 3:49

"Lookin' for a Love" – 3:17

"Barstool Blues" – 3:02

Side Two

"Stupid Girl" – 3:13

"Drive Back" – 3:32

"Cortez the Killer" – 7:29

"Through My Sails" – 2:41

[LRW]

What is Neil Youngy sort of music then? He has fluctuated between so many different types its un real!

[alframsey]

Yeah that was the point of the line. It was meant to be a funny.

I clarified with an excerpt from wikiw, about Zuma, as I am no good with words...

[pinback]

Neil Young is so good, I can even forgive him for collaborating with Pearl Jam.

For the uninitiated, the 'Greatest Hits' (2004?) is really good.

For those after albums - practically all the 70s ones are worth getting . And if you're after something a bit different, try Trans, where he took inspiration from The Human League and (sounds like) Kraftwerk and made an interesting electro-rock album that was panned but is really good.

[angelofharlem]

Actually, I've just re-visited it... it's better than I remembered it.

I think it's Cortez The Killer ( I know...!!) that brings it down...

[disasterplan44]

I saw him at Roskilde last year and he was superb. He played for a good couple of hours and I don't think I saw a better band over the course of the whole festival apart from Radiohead.
