Neil Young

Neil Young.

Recently my Dad asked me to burn him off some Neil Young, it was only then that I realised my commitment to Neil was lacking, I was missing a lot of his work and in particular I was missing a lot of his stuff with Crazy Horse. After sorting that issue out and starting to re-acquaint myself with Neil (after whom my folks named my middle name, well they say Neil Armstrong but I say Neil Young) For whatever reason I had not listened to him for ages. Not every Neil Young song will be your favourite but if your into the dreamy ballads or the totally rocking out screeching guitars and smashing drums Neil Young is your man. Personally I love his stuff with Crazy Horse. Check out Weld by Neil Young and Crazy Horse 2 Disc Set and Rust Never Sleeps (absolute classic) and also check out his sound track to Dead Man. AWESOME. Prepare to enter another dimension when you put this on.

Too Apathetic To Care

Its true, I am too apathetic to care anymore what people think of my taste in music, and given I am not even sure if anyone actually reads this blog I thought I would drop my pants and expose some of my more 'uncool' musical tastes. So if your as uncool as I am you might also like some of this obvious stuff.

The Doors. THE VERY BEST OF.

Yeah its true, I like a small dose of the Doors. I don't think Jim was a God on earth or particularly interesting beyond his music but the Doors did know how to play, how to write and how to perform. A lot of this album is kinda tedious but a lot of it is just great bluesy rock and I am yet to hear a band that sound anything like the Doors. I thought the Doors were mainly for the girls at high school that loved to be romanced by the thought that within their music was some poetry, some escape and some sense of wonder. Then I realised, a decade and half later they were right, that's exactly what the Doors are.

I reckon I will delete this post in a week or so, especially if I go too far and put Beyonce on this list. I would have to be pretty pissed and given I am currently trying to de-tox I don't reckon I will but you never know. I'll see what other obvious commercial shit I can think to add here....
