Confessions first. I've enjoyed Neil Young for thirty years or so and part of the attraction is that you never know what he is going to do next.

What worries me about some of the entries in this thread is that people have never heard him and are avoiding doing so because other people have said they don't like him. What sort of narrow minded conformism is that?

There is only music. The categories are jsut what we put onto it. There are people whose whole output I have disliked and then they just do one great number and it makes the other listening worthwhile. You don't have to like Neil Young but I do think he deserves a listen. Ditto Neil Diamond.
