I’m going to score this one a little differently. If you vote for 10 songs, you have 150 points to split up how you want (maximum of 30 for a song, minimum of 5); if you vote for 20 songs, you get 250 points to split; 30 songs gets 300 to split. (It’s a variation on Pazz & Jop scoring.) For an unranked ballot, I’ll split the points evenly. If you vote for some number of songs that falls between--and that’s fine--I’ll figure out what to do. If you hate math, just send in a list of songs and I’ll suggest something.
Ballots of any length are encouraged. I’ve sent in lists of as few as five songs for some of these--artists I didn’t exactly care about (or had stopped caring about at some point), but where there were five to ten songs I genuinely loved. Please don’t feel you have you listen to Neil Young’s entire catalogue to vote! I think a mix of casual fans, obsessives, and people who fall somewhere in between makes for a good poll.
Any song written by Neil is eligible--CSNY, Buffalo Springfield, Squires, whatever. Covers are eligible; I’ve got somewhere between 300-400 on my hard drive, and I can think of one (the most famous--not Nicolette Larson) that might have an outside shot of placing. As long as Neil wrote (or co-wrote) it, it’s eligible. I don’t think I’ll count live version votes separately--if I get any, I’ll just add them to the studio votes.
Deadline is Sunday, July 8, just under three weeks. All ties in the final standings will be broken by Tyler W.

40 would be okay--if you keep halving the additional points every ten songs, the next logical stop would be 325 points for a 40 song ballot.

Thanks--we're just running down the clock at school now. I like that Thom Yorke version; there are a number of great "After the Gold Rush" covers. I linked to this on one of those other threads, but I wrote a lengthy piece on Neil Young covers for Stylus a few years ago that they've been nice or inattentive enough to keep online. And please, if anybody has Everybody Knows This Is Norway in any format, let me know--been looking for five years now.

Great pic. I used that for the sleeve of a CD I burnt for a friend who wanted to get into Neil Young.

I don't have Dead Man--saw the film when it came out, and was puzzled that it did so well on decade-end polls--but it seems to be discrete tracks, so instinct tells me to treat it that way. Maybe you can vote for "Guitar Solo, No. 5," the 15-minute one?

driving home from work tonight I decided that a 70's era Black Sabbath + Neil cover of Down By The River would be p awesome. (I only say 70's era Sabbath bc I dunno if Ozzy would be up to it singing wise these days)
Neil has to be on it for the extra guitar. I couldn't think of another guitarist who could sub in. Plus Neil + Ozzy harmony would be p cool, no.

Hah I have done a really rough, weird cover of Round and Round, such a cool song. Heavy one.

what's this about him doing an album with Jack White...?
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 21 January 2014 21:40 (eleven years ago) link
he's doing an album w/ jack white -- most likely solo acoustic folk covers like he's been playing recently. ochs, dylan, jansch, lightfoot, hardin, a few others.

Also, "Will To Love" would be great live I would think, just another wtf from Neil that he has never played it.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 21 January 2014 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i think there are a few bootlegs where he picks out the guitar line, as if he's considering it.

Considers it, or decides to torture future bootleg enthusiasts/archivists?

definitely wouldn't mind hearing a live "safeway cart" from neil.

Really interesting list, Tyler. Can't believe "Till the Morning Comes" is on there! A couple others I love: "Slowly Burning" and "The Emperor of Wyoming" (can understand those ones). I'm glad "Ocean Girl"'s not on there, and glad some of Landing on Water is (retire the whole thing, Neil).

Yeah, some of those omissions are obvious, but others - "Captain Kennedy," "The Rent Is Always Due," etc - make no sense at all.

Also, I think "Mr Disappointment" was one of the only songs I really liked on AYP?

Heard this on the radio this morning: first time he got paid, Feb. 1, 1963.

Before the Beatles on Sullivan, before Kennedy's assassination, before the March on Washington. This guy's old.
