PDQ: If somebody has an urge to buy a Neil Young CD, may I suggest "Comes A Time", "Hawks and Doves", "Old Ways", "Harvest Moon", "Prairie Wind" or "Chrome Dreams II".

Ha! You're the opposite sort of Neil Young fan to me. I'd recommend 'Everyone Knows This is Nowhere', 'Zuma', 'Tonight's the Night', 'Rust Never Sleeps' and and of the live NY/Crazy Horse albums, but especially LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST (NEW YORK 1970) to hear Crazy Horse at the peak of their power. Much as I love stuff like 'Harvest' and 'After the Goldrush', it's the full-on rockin' Neil that does it for me everytime.

Whoever back up the thread said that Crazy Horse sound like a west coast garage band has it absolutely right. That's what I love about them - raw, underproduced and mildly deranged.
