The quality of the albums really starts to heat up when we get to many of the GOAT's fifth studio LP's. @dflea gets his due along with @Dennis_DeYoung ' s first ever purchase as pour, young fast strat kiddie in Kent. @BearsWiin rocks out at the Hotel California as the Eagles quit getting dis-respecked by me.

    An @Auburndawg power rankings tie

    Who's Next - the best rock album top to bottom ever

    Hotel California - the best song writing ever

    Houses of the Holy - criminally underrated LZ classic. Suffered for following IV and Plant sounded like he had AIDS but the guitar work is all time

    This has been the hardest round for me thus far. I love all these albums with the intensity of a thousand burning suns....with the exception of Hotel California, which has 3 or 4 great songs and then some that are just OK.

    I add that The Stranger is probably the second greatest pop album of the late 70's and is only surpassed by Rumors.

    I'll fucking gut anybody who votes Joshua Tree. Walking through my dorm hallway freshman year at Berkeley, you could count on hearing Joshua Tree coming out of at least two rooms per floor, and Invisible Touch out of another two. FUUUUUUUUCK

    It's hard to play favorites with Neil's earlier albums but I've always loved this one

    This is where is gets tricky with Neil Young in that he released a lot of new songs on live albums only- e.g., Time Fades Away, Tonight's the Night, and Rust Never Sleeps. So while Time Fades Away isn't a true studio album, it's not the traditional "live" album either of previously recorded material. ATBJBS, On The Beach should be considered the 6th Neil Young album and not the 5th.




    All true. The order is open to interpretation during that period anyways. Tonight's the Night was recorded and ready for release before On the Beach IIRC. I cant/couldn't remember all the details, but a quick Google search lists On the Beach as #5 so I went with it. Most days I'd list it as my top Neil album.

    Once again giving the Dead some love, but Who's Next is must likely one of the best albums ever and should win.

    This morning I was at the gym and this guy with a bionic arm was telling hot fitness trainer Jenny about the time he was at a Neil Young concert and they turned off his amplifier in the middle of Rockin in the Free World because of the 11pm local noise ordinance.

    The fuck, I can't even go to the fucking gym without having to hear about how fuckingly great this whiny heron addict is

    Young was never much of a druggy, was known to ask friends if a joint was "hard grass" before accepting it, and never fucked with heron...or heroin even.

    Sorry, just assumed he was because some older mechanics that I used to work with as a teenager used to refer to him as Needle Young

    Still don't like him
