Buy them all now. And here's a good full discography of Neil Young. Do you think I missed one? Or tell me what you think is the worst NY album (there are plenty of stinkers to choose from).
i know it must seem like i enjoy nitpicking your lists (well, ok, i do) but leaving "rust never sleeps" (and "live rust", for that matter) off this list is unconscionable... and yes, even though a lot of "rust never sleeps" wasn't recorded "in the studio," i still think it counts as a "studio album"
ReplyDeleteAs you noted, they both had live material. I agree that they're both almost perfect items and would both be real high on the list if they fit the criteria.
ReplyDeleteI guess you liked the list in general if that was all you found to debate about ...
you're right, i don't know what the hell i was thinking about with live rust, it's just too great to leave off any neil young list... i'd quibble with the placement within the top 5-6, but it looks generally right otherwise
ReplyDeletei actually have an extra copy of "rust never sleeps" on vinyl, if you want it
Man, that would be super sweet. I think I have both "Rusts" on cassette. Which is basically like saying I don't own them. Maybe I can trade you some of my double vinyl. I think I have a few doubles.
