Seriously. Holzman talking about Neil Young is like DED talking about the Velvet Underground.

What about Neil Young? He's neck and neck with Dylan IMO. Dylan has a few years head start on him, and no one can touch Dylan's early folk stuff. My God, that stuff is a national treasure. Neil Young can't touch Bowie or DylanYoung has never made a flawless record -- even his best stuff has serious flaws. Could you site a specific example of one of Young's best albums that has a serious flaw? And isn't having flaws part of being human? So does this make Young's work more human than Bowie's "flawless" work? |

Neil Young has a handful of albums that are better than anything Bowie's done in the last quarter century or so.

...oh, apart from Outside of course, which was brilliant.  |

Stop it, Holzman, you know nothing of Neil Young. You know DED, I was listening to the M.Sweet/S.Hoffs cover of Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, and it's friggin' awesome. Too bad that Neil can't sing half as well.  Actually, I'd be up for listening to whatever Neil you want to recommend to me, DED. Well, except Freedom and Live Rust, as I've heard all of those I'll ever need. Or Arc/Weld. Or Mirrorball. Or Decade. But I'd be game for anything else. I also don't need to hear Harvest Moon again, or any other whiny folkie/country Neil Young. That stuff all sucks. All of it. But I'd be up for anything else. Really. But not Trans. Or Everybody's Rocking. Those two both just sucked. |

You get the Doom trilogy tomorrow. Cool. That's actually what I was kind of angling for. The awful thing is, personal experiences/memories aside, I'd really like to really like Neil Young. But every time I spend a lot of time with his catalog, I wind up disappointed. It's like he tried to model his entire career on New Morning or Planet Waves or something. Honestly, John Mellencamp has made more consistently excellent records than Neil Young has. I'd rather hear Scarecrow or Big Daddy than any complete recording in Young's catalog. |

Rocky, I was literally laughing out loud at that post. Not a grin, not just a chuckle, but a full-blown LOL. Hmm, the fact that I'm treating myself to a couple of glasses of wine right now might have something to do with that. (God knows it's not the awful CBS sit-com that's on TV right now. Patrick Warburton and David Spade, and pretty much zero laughs). |

Have I mentioned today that Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and The River are all better than anything that either Young or Mellenhead have ever released? They are. And so are Nebraska and Tunnel of Love. |

And so are Berlin, New York, Transformer and the Blue Mask. We could be here for a long time if we're going to start listing albums better than Neil Young and John Mellencamp.
Anyway, I'm not even that big of a Neil Young fan (I like some of his stuff, but barely listen to him), but I can't let a pro-Mellencamp statement go by without trying to get you banned.

lmao.
Somewhere, John Mellencamp felt vital for a few seconds. That was a good deed, Kenny H.
