it was the only American-based band to approach the overall societal impact of the Beatles
In their time their American album sales were HUGE. Their cultural cachet was such that their public greeted "Ohio" as a major statement. I'm wary of statements like AllMusic's, but the Shakey bio also makes the same suggestion.

CSNY were huge because the Byrds, the Hollies, and the Buffalo Springfield had all been huge before.

Yeah, some good names on there and some wtf ones as well. I scanned it quickly the first time and saw "Bill Priddle" as "Mark Prindle".

Neil Young and Bert Jansch, May 24 at DAR Constitution Hall ($83.50-$193.50)
Don't think I want to spend that much to see him on this solo tour.

i didn't go see neil the last time he was in town because tix were $100 bucks ... i had just bought the archives so I had blown my neil budget for the year, really.
― tylerw, Monday, 19 April 2010 16:52 (fourteen years ago) link
I missed this poll. I realize that there's no accounting for personal taste, but I do find it unsettling that somebody counts Everybody's Rockin' as his/her favourite Neil Young album.
― clemenza, Monday, 19 April 2010 19:38 (fourteen years ago) link
The cheap seats here in Houston are $69 w/service charge. The big problem though is it's a frontgate event and they don't have outlets in town, so you have to either go to the venue (Jones Hall) or purchase online. According to the seating chart, I've got a nice balcony seat.
― Roomful of Moogs (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 19 April 2010 19:40 (fourteen years ago) link
Not that I'd have voted for it but shocked that Freedom pulled a zero on this one too, esp with Trans pulling in two votes.
― Sean Carruthers, Monday, 19 April 2010 19:49 (fourteen years ago) link
ha, didn't even look at these results ... they are a little ridiculous, but what the heck. (Only 1 vote for Zuma?)
― tylerw, Monday, 19 April 2010 19:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, those too. Everybody's Rockin'-1 and Old Ways-3, and, at the other end, Zuma-1 and Freedom-0--these are all very puzzling. Everything else, even albums I dislike (Trans) or consider overrated (On the Beach), more or less makes sense.
― clemenza, Monday, 19 April 2010 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link
only one vote for harvest 'makes sense'?!
― ian, Monday, 19 April 2010 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link
I would say so, yes. I think most people who are going to take the time to vote in a Neil Young poll would choose something else as their favourite. If, on the other hand, you surveyed 100 random music fans, undoubtedly it finishes first.
― clemenza, Monday, 19 April 2010 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, i wouldn't vote for harvest as my fave neil young album ... not sure what i'd vote.
― tylerw, Monday, 19 April 2010 20:02 (fourteen years ago) link
You'd think with an environment as committed to scientific results and objectivity as ILM that the poll results would make SOME KIND of SENSE!!
― Trip Maker, Monday, 19 April 2010 20:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Point taken, sure--but all of that aside, I still find it hard to believe that there's someone who a) cares enough about Neil Young to click on this thread and cast a vote, and b) counts Everybody's Rockin' as his greatest album. It's just funny-weird.
― clemenza, Monday, 19 April 2010 20:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Or maybe it was just meant as a joke, and all my puzzlement is the punch line.

being someone who voted for popeye in the robert altman poll, I get it
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 19 April 2010 20:11 (fourteen years ago) link
and yeah the poll results are wacky but almost a third of all votes went to ditch trilogy releases which is:
a) about right from a macro-career perspectiveb) unsurprising for ILMc) frighteningly consistent with the results of this poll: Best of Neil Young studio records

Next Young wanted to release Old Ways, a country record he cut in a two-day Nashville session. He felt it was a strong, commercial work, part of a series that included After the Gold Rush and Comes A Time. Geffen felt differently. They rejected it.
"They said it scared them," says Young. "They wanted more rock and roll. Okay, fine. I'll give ya some rock and roll. I almost vindictively gave them Everybody's Rockin'." He greased back his hair, put on shades, and went out on the road with a '50s-styled band called the Shocking Pinks. "I got way into that guy," says Young. "I was that guy for months. He was out there. It was a movie to me. Nobody saw it but me, but who gives a shit."

that Wonderin' video is hilarious
― I won't vote for you unless you acknowledge my magic pony (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 19 April 2010 20:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Let me add: "Wonderin'" is fantastic (song and video). I always counted it as Everybody's Rockin''s one reason for being. Discovering, via Archives and Fillmore East, that's it's been around forever was a surprise. And now Everybody's Rockin' may have lost its one reason for being.
― clemenza, Monday, 19 April 2010 20:29 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, "wonderin'" is a pretty perfect little tune.

anyone catch the neil young trunk show? i feel like that entire set was him working through relationship issues! the shot of the autistic kids. gorgeous "oh lonesome me" and "mellow my mind" on the side. i think i voted 'dead man' in this but with spring and such i'd go with zuma atm.

as a middle finger to the record company it's classic neil tho
like an 80s version of heading for the ditch

I'm going to the first show of this tour on the 18th- can't wait. I even splurged for the expensive seats! The one other time I saw Young was with Crazy Horse at the end of the Horde Fest in '97 and I wasn't nearly as big a fan as I am now, not to mention I was like a mile from the stage and exhausted from a long day of boozing...
― ColinO, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 04:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Just back from the Houston gig. Fantastic show of course. He busted out old black and a white gretsch for extended electric segments, included a version of "Hitchhiker"! He did a bunch of new songs that have a weird religous bent. I'll imagine they'll sound pretty interesting once Lanois gets done with 'em.

oh fuck, I kinda forgot about Neil!! I was trying to look at the dates in Nashville or Austin for maybe a quick vacation... totally forgot about them as I got caught up in work plus have been spending mad money lately anyway. Wait, Ticketbastard is showing a new date now? July 19th ( a Monday?), may need to try to make that one happen. Probably no Bert Jansch tho? No matter, I can see Bert here in Chicago before he plays the Eric Clapton 'Crossroads' festival the next day....
Roomfull, did you see Bert too? how was he?
― Stormy Davis, Saturday, 5 June 2010 09:05 (fourteen years ago) link
oh ,forgot to post.. that July 19th is in Portland .. even better reason...
some him last week, it was really good. i loved the way he built from the acoustic openers up to crazy howling electric stuff. it was much more of a rock show than i expected. "cortez" was A+++.

I'd only want the expanded Ragged Glory and OK, fine, Weld, and if I buy those two separately from Amazon it's probably $30-31, but I can get the whole box for $45.
