reading all these 'is he relevant?' or 'who is he? my mates haven't heard of him!' has me chuckling at how long these forums have been going. I think back to the excitement on here in the buildup to 2

It’s funny, I had to defend the bbc for allegations of bias from my Dad and his partner. Two more Brexity, Faragist boomers you couldn’t hope to find anywhere outside of Clacton. The fact that people

You never know, with a bit of luck there’ll be artists you don’t like headlining Friday and Saturday too, and you won’t have to go at all 👍🏼

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
After the Gold Rush
Don't Let It Bring You Down
You and Me
Pardon My Heart
The Great Divide

 

My list:
Barstool Blues
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Helpless (Live at Massey Hall 1971)
Tired Eyes
White Line (Homegrown version)
Love and Only Love
Don't Let It Bring You Down
Hangin' on a Limb
Revolution Blues
Pardon My Heart
Alabama
One of These Days

you can't compare madonna to neil young. one is a global icon known to everyone is the world.

 

the other is often confused with paul  young


 

So youre essentially confirming Neil Young is not relevant yet theres people pining to see the guy just cause they dont wanna spend £100 to sit in the back of the o2.

Spotify setlist it up, and link us up! (Can’t believe neither of us you picked the needle and the damage done, which is a serious contender for my favourite song ever by anyone, let alone just favourite NY song)

I let out a massive ‘f**kING YES!’ when I saw the thingy’s twitter about the flip floppery - it’s just the most amazing headliner I could possibly name, and the rest of the lineup can be wall to wall bollocks and I’ll still be eagerly awaiting it now 🥳

 You didn't include Cortez the Killer? I'm sorry, but I'm going with Matt

Slippery slope, that... I might have to add all manner of requests, and keep on renaming my playlist. As long as I don't need to add anything from Re-act-or. 

Fair point. I keep thinking of more. Cinnamon Girl and After the Goldrush need to be in there.

 

I'm going to start drafting my complaint letter about songs missing from his playlist in preparation for the summer.

Absolutely chuffed to bits. I know it's not for everyone but very few headlines are. The perk of Glastonbury is there is always something elsewhere if you dislike.

 

If you've never heard of them (or him in this case) then you never know with a little bit of listening and research between now and June you might find yourself getting very excited about seeing a band/artist for the first time.

Not certain what constitutes a “relevant” artist. That aside, surely Like a Hurricane has to feature on a playlist?!

 

Just to clarify, neither of us were claiming to do any sort of 'definitive' NY playlist (if such a thing can exist), just some of our favourites in whatever order we felt worked...

This is helpful thanks. I am 63 and never bothered listening to him as I thought it was not me type of listening, I didn't see him when he was last there and I was there that year. I am willing to give these a listen to see what I think, thanks. Of course I'm sure I've heard of a lot of them around, especially given my age .

Yeah, I get that, and thanks for your efforts! Wasn’t aiming to question your taste in any way, theyre all great choices….was really meant to show…. As others have…. What a fantastic and widespread body of work he’s produced.
