Neil Young Biography
After Neil Young left the Californian folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield in 1968, he slowly established himself as one of the most influential and idiosyncratic singer/songwriters of his generation. Young's body of work ranks second only to Bob Dylan...Full Neil Young Biography

Pros: Undeniably Great Songs
Cons: Nothing Unexpected
As one of rock's most notoriously unpredictable artists, Neil Young continues to baffle the faithful and unconverted alike with this release. Like the "expert review" says, this is only his second compilation since he started making music in the 1960s!
Idiosyncratic, cantankerous, frustrating: all these words accurately describe Young. His music over the decades has been simultaneously wonderful, harrowing, and horrible, sometimes on the same album. When it came time for this compilation, though, Young seems to have unbelievably stepped aside and let sales reps do the thinking. Perhaps all those years of performing obscure songs in concert when his fans wanted hits has caught up with him.
Even so, the music is what matters, right? We get epics like "Down by the River" and "Like a Hurricane" sitting with equally brilliant shorts like "Ohio" and "Cinnamon Girl"...and that's all just from the 1960s! His `70s output may be underrepresented aside from the Harvest album, but that doesn't diminish those songs' potency. The only songs from recent years are at the end, and they're every bit as good.
So, if you like what you hear here, do yourself a favor and dig into Young's career. Check out Tonight's the Night or Ragged Glory or hey, even Are You Passionate! With Young, it's best to sample, simply because he *is* so erratic. ...
