"I can't get over how she set me free 0h, oh, lonesome me... Is there another album that more embodies the sound of the 70s? Back when bands' lyrics were repeated by the faithful like sacred truths. Back when albums seemed larger than life carrying their own mythology and album covers were gazed u..." [+] Reply

""Harvest" is Neil Young biggest commercial succes. The number one hit-single "Heart of Gold" is obviously one of the reasons why the album was so successful, but of course the album has a lot of other great tracks. Generally the album is among Young's softest and most melodic, and songs like "Out..." [+] Reply

"The title track is excellent, Motion Pictures is basically perfect, but then he goes ahead and closes the album with Ambulance Blues. A perfect album closer, among the best ever, and certainly the best acoustic ballad album closer aside from Desolation Row. I might even prefer it for it's emotion..." [+] Reply

"This album is an absolute masterpiece, and has a sound like no other album ever released, even by Neil himself. You can truly feel raw emotion here, and this is definitely Neil's most emotional album. After the loss of Daniel Whitten, Neil recorded this album on one dark night in 1972 in only one..." [+] Reply

"Neil Young has a knack for making exactly the album his most ardent fans don't want at any given moment. In 1992, on the heels of what was arguably his loudest, most feedback-drenched tour, the one that produced the live albums Arc and Weld, Neil Young recorded...a folk album? The sequel to his t..."

"After 6 rather disappointing studio albums in the 80's he left Geffen records and returned to Reprise and a great return to form with this album. Great album there are elements of rock, folk, country everything Neil Young is good at." Reply

"A smooth and easy listening album that is very pleasant to listen too. It is a little more country than most Neil Young albums and so if you enjoy that side you will definitely love this album. The vocals are great as always and there is a little extra on this one with the help of a backing vocal..." [+] Reply

"Highly underrated debut from Shakey, as his style would be more defined by his next album. This record continues Neil's work he contributed to the last two Buffalo Springfield albums (produced separately before the group disbanded). It's beautiful psychedelic folk rock. I'm surprised Kanye West o..." [+] Reply

"Neil Young's Unplugged performance comes at a good time in his career when Harvest Moon was just released and he was performing with The Stray Gators. The first half of this show has Neil playing acoustically on his own and the band joins in for the back half. There's a good variety of tracks in ..." [+] Reply
