I've literally just found his latest YouTube video. There's no other way to put it other than it is literally More Barn!
It strikes me both that, and Eat A Peach are shibboleths.

I've got the vinyl mate. It's typical Neil, some shite, some gems, some genius.

I've been holding off from buying it, but I know, it's crushingly inevitable, I'm going to have to. Your review has confirmed that.

Still though, there's clearly no way he can get his music taken off spotify. Stupid old man.
It's surprising that a company that's just paid a huge sum of money so they can profit from the future royalties of Young's music would agree to the music being removed from the key platform for realising their investment, but fair play. I wonder what their angle is on this though, cause I doubt they give much of a shit about covid misinformation on Joe Rogan.

There's now just one album available on my Spotify account. Good for him for taking a stand.

Some posters were saying mere hours before his music got taken down from Spotify that there was no way his music would get taken down from Spotify.

Anyway back to the original theme of the thread. This one is sure to set the cat amongst the pigeons...
Neil Young – every album ranked!

I love the guy but it's unlikely I'll ever get through everything he's done. I'm still trying to process Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and I probably first heard that 20 years ago.

I went full geek about 30 years ago after I fell in love with After the Goldrush. I'm clean now, I can listen to other artists without likening them to Neil.
It was getting in the way of me meeting girls and I lost a few friends to the needle and the damage done. There's only so much Powder Finger a friend can take, especially when you want them to compare two different 18 minute versions of the same song live late at night when your Tom Boned.
I've listened to all of his commercial releases and I started collecting his bootleg recordings about 25 years back. Most of them are on flak and sit in a couple of flight cases in the shed which is where I retire on a summer evening for a show or two with a burbon or a nice malt.
I even got into his alt tunings so much that I can't play my guitar in standard tuning these days unless it's The Rivers of Babylon by Boney-M.
I relapsed for a while and joined the Neil Young Archives when a group of us who frequented the nerd boards were invited to be involved in the Beta version. After some cognitive behavioural therapy I spent a couple of years replacing my addiction to Neil with Dub Reggae and early Floyd. If it wasn't for Ruddy Yurts I'd of ended up in some cyclical manage of audio addiction that would have seen me fighting with people I love about which Horse line up was the best and which Lee Perry chicken sound had the deepest bass.
Then I fell in love with a cinnamon girl.
The thing I love about Neil is there's enough stuff to meander and never get board with it. I've learned to moderate my listening enough now that I can openly invite new artists into my ear wormery without feeling like I'm cheating on him.
If anyone would like some under the counter stuff though just drop me a PM with your favourite flavour and I'll burn you some candy. Alternatively look for stuff like Archives be dammed, Willies Picnic bootlegs and any of the Bridge School concerts on P2P. If you went to a gig in the last 20 years I've probably got a bootleg of it or know where you can get one.

So little impact that Spotify's 'unsubscribe' feature seems to have crashed from overuse.

Joni Mitchell has said she'll also remove her music from Spotify over this.
And Nickelback have threatened to release even more albums if Spotify don't do something...

I saw that too, but I've learned not to take guys I've never heard of getting excited about stuff on twitter too seriously. I'm all for people deleting their spotify accounts though, so all good if it does come to something.
I hear Barry Manilow has taken his tunes off too.

Thought BM had merged with the infinite! Glad to be wrong.
this was explicitly over royalties - there's been quite a few underground artists removing their stuff over the last few months over payments - I was reading that Steve Cobby from Fila Brazilla has a single track on there, with the title 'You Can Find Me On Bandcamp'
