Um, Neil Young is the shit, basically.
I only own After The Goldrush and On The Beach (my current favorite) and I absolutely adore them. I need more of the catalog, pronto.
"Helpless", although from his CSNY days, which I'm typically not a big fan of, is one of my favorite songs ever; not just but Neil.

..from Sweetheart of the rodeo, that's an excellent album!
Damn straight it is.
Fugazi - "Suggestion"

The Byrds - You're Still On My Mind
An empty bottle
A broken heart
And you're still on my mind
Love it!

I did a few finds today when I went to a local record store. I've seen Jahfin mention The Long Ryders several times, and now when I stumbled upon them I had to check 'em out. Good Stuff!
All vinyls:
The Long Ryders - 10-5-60
The Long Ryders - Native Sons
Kaleidoscope - Side Trips (classic psych/folk album with David Lindley. This is a re-release by Edsel, the original album is very rare)
Tom Verlaine - s/t (fantastic debut!)
Richard Lloyd - Alchemy (another ex-Television member's debut, great album)
From all the vinyl I've seen you've purchased, I'm pretty damn jealous.
I would start a vinyl collection of my own, seeing as they're just flat-out cooler than CD's, but I don't own a player and the only convenient form for me is through CD.
I may start getting vinyl of some of my favorite albums though, even if I already have them on CD.

I think so too. Sky Blue Sky is proof positive that Wilco don't need to be highly experimental every time out just to be worthy of notice. Sometimes all a body needs is some good ol' solid rock n' roll and I think they more than delivered that with this record.
Agreed. I don't see all the flack that SBS is getting, as I think it, in a way, it got Jeff Tweedy to come back to earth a little bit. While I liked some tracks off it, A Ghost Is Born was too experimental, lacking that perfect balance that Yankee Hotel Foxtort had.
SBS isn't really revolutionary or anything, but it's a solid record.

Love my Beatles. I'm constantly torn between Revolver or Abbey Road being my favorite record.

They're surely very influential upon hard rock etc. but I've never been a fan of Purple, Blackmore or Rainbow. I find the groups to be cheesy and pretentious (Blackmore, mainly).
Not my cup of tea.

I'm not a big fan, but they sound great every once in a while. I like Murmur okay and Automatic For the People has flashes of brilliance.
That's all I've heard from them, minus the singles.

What hasn't been said about ABB, especially their At Fillmore East album. It's one of the best live albums ever.
-
The Stones fucking ruled, but I can only listen to them in small doses. I think it's Jagger.
If they would've, liked died in 1978 they would've been flawless.
All joking aside, of course, but I haven't really gave a shit about their material of the last, um, 30 years or so. But it's nice to see them still touring and recording and shit, I guess. At least they're out promoting new albums while they tour, unlike The Eagles who've been doing it for like 15 years until they released that recent turd of an album.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
And yeah, I discovered Gillian and David Rawlings through Heartbreaker, and then heard her some more from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack.
They seem to have musical chemistry like very few I've ever heard.
