    Neil Young

    in Other Bands / Music

    Posted · Edited by SickTangerine

    I praise him a lot for trying a lot of different styles. It's great and fresh, instead of sticking it safe he always did what he really wanted to do. I was just saying that when I first heard Trans it scared me cause I was only used to be his early 70's stuff at that point :P Also just to clarify, by scary I mean genuinely frightening, not like "bad" scary. It honestly frightened me, the wailing vocals and what not.

    Plus there is a nice story behind his use of the vocoder, I read because his son understood him better when he talked through it (since he had cereberal palsy), so you could say the album is almost a reaching out to his son, and in that case it's really great. You guys probably knew that, but eh :P

    Just curious. As I previously mentioned in this thread, his work can be hit or miss. I always make it a point to at least sample a few tracks from his newest albums whether it be via a YouTube clip or something on his website. I'm certainly intrigued by Le Noise but it hasn't been enough to compel me to fork over the cash for it just yet. On the other hand, I haven't missed any of his archival releases (save for the Archives, Vol. 1 boxset). That's a bit pricey and is apparently rather redundant. I always understood it would be mostly unreleased stuff but evidently it's not.

    I agree, upon listening to a lot of his stuff, after the 70's (and even in the the 70's) most of his albums tend to have one or two really great songs (there are exceptions of course), and the others seem to sound like every other generic country/piano/harmonica song he's written :P

    His 80's output is scary imo. When I first listened to Transformer Man (from Trans) I nearly crapped my pants. Of course not all his albums are like that in the 80's, but at least he's not afraid to try new styles.

    I also don't really see the point of his archives series, asides from the live albums that he is releasing with it and the huge boxset thing, the rest are just remastered albums. However I am thinking of saving up for the Vol. 1 boxset, it just seems interesting and I need more Neil on CD.

    Wow.

    In the past month I've really gotten into his albums, especially most of his 70's stuff. It's an incredible journey to listen to Nei'ls albums, like I only had Harvest and Everybody knows This is Nowhere before this month.

    I'm so glad I discovered "Neil Young", "On the Beach", "Tonight's the Night" and the Rust albums. They're brilliant! Everything Neil does (yes even his weird 80's stuff) is great. It may be leaning on someone elses style but you can ALWAYS tell it's Neil.

    Anyoen else here like On the Beach as much as I do? I think it deserves more recognition than Harvest, Harvest is good but On the Beach is fantastic. That's just my opinion. The whole second side of the album is so mellow, ultimate music to just sit back and think to. :D

    That's a pretty good song, a ncie tribute. I heard the song name before, just never listened to it.

    Been listening to Rock of Ages a lot lately, all the songs are in top form, except for the songs Dylan sings on (on the 2 CD ones with bonus tracks). His singing makes me cringe to be honest in the songs. :P But the horn sections add a really nice flavour to their songs.

    Yeah, I have The Last Waltz. fantastic movie! Though Robertson's usage of pinch harmonics gets a bit on my nerves after a while :P

    So far I have, their first 3 albums and Rock of Age and the LAst Waltz DVD. Oh and their set at woodstock. Great stuff!

    I really love Richard Manuel. Great singer.

    Hey all

    Any fans of the Band here? I've become recently obsessed with them, the only other band I've liked so much is Led Zeppelin. To be honest, I might even like The Band more than LZ atm :unsure:

    Before I prattle on, sorry if there is already a thread for the Band, you wouldn't believe how hard it is to search up "The Band" on a forum like this :P

    Anywho. I had heard of them before. Never listened to their music though. Then sometime in May or June this year my Dad asked me to make him a mix CD. One of the songs on it were "The Weight". So when I went to go get it, I took a listen and I was blown away. It was great! Then came Cripple Creek, and now I can't get enough of them!

    Their sound just blows me away, it's so laidback! My favourite song has to be The Weight, they're probably most well known song, but doesn't change the fact it's bloody fantastic. King Harvest is a close tie though. They are all very talented!

    Anyone else here like The Band? Let's have a discussion.
