If I never again hear the Flower Duet it will be too soon! It used to be our hold music at work and used in our TV adverts, guess who I worked for?

Which ones?

I can recommend 'Live Rust' as an introduction to his best songs. First LP is mainly acoustic with Neil doing enjoyable versions of some of his classics, the second disc is a powerful electric set with Crazy Horse and some stomping guitar-work..
If you don't like that - then you really don't like NY. :grin:

Agreed. I am a big Neil Young fan - but there are some of his albums that I really cannot get into.

'Everybody's Rockin' anyone?

Neil's voice is certainly unusual and an acquired taste, but I love it. I am not keen on the rocky stuff with Crazy Horse but his solo and acoustic stuff, his stuff with CSN&Y and with Buffalo Springfield is peerless in my opinion.

Paul if you like the CSN&Y stuff I guarantee you will like the Buffalo Springfield stuff too which predates CSN&Y. Has a country rock feel to it.
