Brilliant news that he's back on.
Waaaay back in this thread, some folks were asking for NY recommendations. Well, a while back a friend and me (both huge fans) challenged each other to put together a 12 song Neil Young playlist. A very very tall order, given his 50+ albums (and that's just the official stuff), so we just went for what felt tight for each of us. We came up with very different playlists, but I'd suggest that both would make a good intro to NY's artistry, even if they don't actually feature many of his 'big' tunes.
Matt's list:
Harvest Moon
For the Turnstiles
Cortez the Killer
Silver & Gold
Albuquerque
Heart of Gold
See the Sky About To Rain

It’s probably closer to the “our away support is louder / bigger”
”You’re shite though”
”We’d take 2,000 to Ipswich on a Monday night. Who is the real winner?”
”The team that just beat you. Still.”
