Heh. That was Bush, just for those who donât get the good Doctorâs irony.
Maybe you should stop using your eyes to drool over babes so much and use your ears to listen to a little music for a change.
Download âRockinâ in the Free Worldâ on youtube. Itâs great and I donât think anybodyâs mentioned it so far.

BTW, so far everybodyâs only mentioned his solo career stuff. What about âOhioâ by CSN&Y and âNowadays Clancey Canât Even Singâ by Buffalo Springfrield.
Bizarre trivia note: before he moved to California, Neil was in a Canadian band called the Mynah Byrds (an obvious nod to a contemporary American band) with an African-American draft dodger on bass by the name of Rick James.
Yes, âSuperfreakâ James.

âOhioâ is a great song. Had David Crosby crying during the recording.
âNowadays Clancy Canât Even Singâ was Neilâs first committed to vinyl (his first song was âSugar Mountainâ which he wrote at age 10). He had no belief in his vocal prowess, however, so Billy Furey sang it. Neil went on to find his voice with âBurnedâ, âBroken Arrowâ, âExpecting To Flyâ and âI am a Childâ.
Were you tired or just trying to see if anyone was a Buffalo Springfield fan? Itâs Richie Furay who was in BF and did a lot of singing in the early days. He was later in Poco and the Souther Hillman Furay Band and then made a right turn to God. Good list of Neil songs. If I had to pick just one it would be Mr. Soul. Looking through this thread I am reminded of how extensive his catalog is.
- just like tom thumbâs blues (a bob dylan song)
- she breaks (with booker t) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Ak1lqCMEs
Sorry to grave-dig, but just found this one. Itâs got itâs moments. Check out the broken strings. And McCartney behaving like a muppet. At least the moron shows Uncle Neil the respect that he deserves.
Not a song, but a superb soundtrack.

Ten? The story I heard put it about a decade later.
My fave might be âPocahontas,â even though he probably lifted much of the tune from Carole King. (Donât look at the meaningless video. Just listen.) At least thatâs the song of his I get stuck in my head the most.
One of my favorite concert moments was from when I saw him live on the Trans tour. He started to play one of his hits; and when people started to hoot and applaud he stopped, looked up at the audience, and said, âJust clap at the end. Iâll get the idea.â He probably does that at every show, though.

True, but Iâve heard Neil claim that he wrote the lyrics as a pre-teen.

Rockinâ In The Free World
âŚcause I was working the Neil Young and Crazy Horse concert at the Maple Leaf Gardens and rotated to the stage when they lit the place up with the song for a good 15 minutes. Still get goosebumps when I hear it.
Here is a rockinâ version with Bruce Springsteen:
The guitar riff on Like a Hurricaine still always moves me. Love that song.
That was the song that I first identified my love for Neil Young with. Hauntingly beautiful.
