DeanCollins Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 In an interview Duanne Allman said that Neil Young shouldn't be allowed to play guitar because he was so bad at it. lol While a number of his songs have grown on me over the years, and I own 4 or 5 NY lps and cds, It amazes me how someone with such limited singing and guitar playing talent, had such a great career. Especially in the midst of a golden age of, what is now, classic rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say limited. I mean he's no Eric or Duane.I think he's pretty dang good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanCollins Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I don't like to admit that I like Neil Young anymore than I admit I like Eddie Money lol. The is a raw element in his style that's appealing and I can listen to the 2 disc anthology set straight through but technically NY is challenged lol. His guitar riffs (if you want to call them that) sound like someones killing a cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGI Jef Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 i like neil youngs guitar playing. yeah it is not as techincally proficient as others, but it fits in his sound, and as an architect of an overall sound nad feel of an album, he is matched only by his peers like Dylan, etc. also, probably the 2nd greatest living songwriter after dylan.

TGI Jef Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 i think neil young absolutely outclasses any of those, except for maybe springsteen and mccartney, and i still think he is better than them. other than bob dylan, id say neil young has had the biggest impact on folk and rock music. there is his oft-cited impact on other musicians, his endless list of collaborators. Lou Reed, the Sex Pistols, etc. have credited him with making one of the first real punk records in Time Fades Away. his streak of records from 1969-1979 is likely the greatest streak of any artist in history. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere After The Gold Rush Harvest Time Fades Away On The Beach Tonight's The Night Zuma American Stars N Bars Comes A Time Rust Never Sleeps just an absolute Murderer's Row of records, one after another. did the Stones and Bob Dylan have their streaks as well? of course. but they didnt last a full decade. Stones, for example (and i might get these out of order) i believe 1968 was Beggars Bangquet then Let It Bleed Sticky Fingers Exile On Main Street incredible streak of albums, but not a decade. the Who had their great records between 67 and 71 (i would consider Quadrophenia a really really good album, but not in the alltime classic argument really IMO) i think the only artist whose entire catalogue surpasses Neil Young is Bob Dylan i have been a Springsteen and Bowie nut since i was 16, but i dont thinkt hey even come close to Young. some of their records (the wild and the innocent..., darkness on the edge of town, nebraska, hunky dory, low, etc.) are as good as a lot of Neil's, but they just dont have as many. Neil also has done a better job than anyone except Dylan at adding QUALITY to his catalogue at an advanced age. Freedom and Ragged Glory are among his greatest pure rock albums. Harvest Moon is worthy of its nod to its predecessor. Even Prairie Wind is ****ing awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
