I love the albums of Neil Young, but Everybody Knows This is Nowhere to post full YouTube albums, so I'm conducting a Top 7 albums poll instead. After the Gold Rush of best-selling albums in the 1970's, when Neil Young had a veritable Harvest of great songs, Time Fades Away into the lean years of the 1980's, when several disappointing albums were left stranded On the Beach, so to speak. Tonight's the Night to determine the Top 7 Neil Young albums amongst the good members of ProgArchives. You can of course include his albums with Crazy Horse in your listings, such as Zuma for instance, or even Neil Young's Long May You Run album in collaboration with Stephen Stills. Maybe you prefer the countrified sound of American Stars 'n' Bars, or perhaps there Comes a Time when you prefer the harder-edged sound of Rust Never Sleeps with Crazy Horse. Either way, it comes down to a Hawks & Doves choice between Neil Young's hard-rockin' albums with Crazy Horse, or his gentler country-tinged solo albums of Love. I'd be surprised if Re ac tor or Trans features in anyone's Top 7 albums list, but you never know. Anyway, in a world gone mad outside, it's good to know Everybody's Rockin' the night away indoors here at ProgArchives.   Maintaining tradition with the Old Ways, I'll assign the usual system of points to your Top 7 album listings:- 1st album - 12 points 2nd album - 8 points 3rd album - 6 points 4th album - 4 points 5th album - 3 points 6th album - 2 points 7th album - 1 point Here's my Neil Young Top 7 to get the poll underway:- 1. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere (12 points) 2. Harvest Moon (8 points) 3. Harvest (6 points) 4. Are You Passionate? (4 points) 5. After the Gold Rush (3 points) 6. Comes a Time (2 points) 7. Zuma (1 point)

It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

1- Harvest 2- After the Gold Rush 3- Everybody Knows This is Nowhere 4- On the Beach Those are my top 4. After that is hard, I like the others but I don't "love" them. But I'd go: 5- Rust Never Sleeps 6- Tonight's the Night 7- Harvest Moon ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

You're probably right, Old Man! But people may have a Heart of Gold for Harvest, his most successful!  ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |

The "Everyone Knows" album features a Harvest of some of Neil Young's best-known songs, including "Cinnamon Girl", "Down by the River" & "Cowgirl in the Sand", so if you're unfamiliar with the album, it's well-worth a listen.

I might go Down the River After the Gold Rush to have a listen, if there Comes the Time. ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |
