Say it to Jean
there is much more overated musicans how he, and even he is overated his music is good,
Deutche schlagermusik is better ?

I only know a few albums, particularly After The Gold Rush. I don't quite understand its fame, especially since it's competing with amazing 1970 folk rock albums like Van Morrison's Moondance, Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water and Nick Drake's Bryter Layter - all of those are simply better albums.

However, I quite like his soundtrack for the film Dead Man. Ambient noodling with a Western flavor, really more reminiscent of recent Earth albums than Ennio Morricone. Those more experienced with his work, has he made other similar stuff?

...Cut a brother deep, yo.

It's hard for me to say though. I doubt I'd be really into him if I heard him for the first time today, but it's just music I grew up with. "After The Gold Rush" was my Grandfathers favourite song of all time, so a lot of his music has got a lot of sentimental value for me.

On the flipside, I think he's got a lot of blind fanboy followers who conveniently overlook his shitty albums, like that God awful Trans album...

Rust Never Sleeps is probably in my top 10 non-metal albums. Saw him live a couple years back as well, surprisingly energetic show.

Old man take a look at my life .....

Whilst i don't like a lot of his material, it is still one of the few rock bands i like hearing. Most have just faded away and i don't listen to them anymore. Jethro Tull i listen to as much as any other band i like. Neil Young, Pink Floyd, The Doors and The Who i still pull out from time to time. I mainly listen to 'Harvest' and 'Rust Never Sleeps'.

My first favourite song was "Dung Bung" (as i used to call it when i was like 6), aka 'There's A World'.

His old school tracks are gold, and I love his acoustic work. As a songwriter, he has great direction, and I respect that.

Marcel = old man. But ya... Neil Young is pretty overrated if you ask me. "Old Man" is honestly the only song of his I enjoy.

I was listening to After The Gold Rush on vinyl this morning. I've got all of Young's 70's records on original vinyl.

Out of plain curiosity, why do you find him overrated?

The only thing i find overrated is the sheer about of songs he has written that are boring filler. That doesn't really alter my opinion of him though. Most albums have 1-2 great songs. A lot of people hate his voice, but it is what draws me to him.

That's exactly it. I hear so many people talking about him as if he's some kind of musical deity but at the end of the day his entire catalog is probably only really worth one "masterpiece". He's always struck me as the kind of artist who releases new compilations every year or two with all the same songs - the hits. His non-hit material was average at best.

Fair enough. It was a little different back then though imo when hits were important for a bands success. If he was in his prime now and doing it, it would be worse. Pretty much ALL classic rock i like or liked in the past had more filler/crap material than good songs. Today, if bands release an album purely to support 1-2 hit songs, they will get flamed and they album will not be considered good.

You must not be aware of the current pop scene. Take Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger". Does anyone even know what other songs are on that album?

Haha, i meant the metal most of us listen to on this site. I am well aware of the general pop scene, i wasn't really thinking of it in my post...

Ah, my bad then. Very true about filler material in metal though. Unless you've got a serious following (Maiden, Priest, Nightwish, Bodom, etc.) you can't get away with releasing a bad album with only a couple standout songs. You need every song to be above average in order for the majority of people outside your fan base to take your music seriously.

And in my case, a non-Neil fan, I don't find his material to be strong enough to entice me listening to a full album.

So what's the MS opinion on Psychedelic Pill? It's been pretty well-received. Not sure I'm all that much into it, but there are some great jams that remind me a bit of his aforementioned soundtrack work. I mean, a 27-minute opening track on a country/rock album is pretty cool.

Meh, did not like his voice at all, but loved the guitar tone, so I'm kinda conflicted about it. Songwriting was excellent, simplistic as always, yet captivating. Like looking at old photos in a photobook.
