His best album IMO is the most hidden in your pic. Since I haven’t listened to all the full albums you display, what albums do you (or anyone else here) recommend ahead of “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere?” I also own ATGR, RNS, and Harvest, so familiar with those, all great too.

Zuma, Ragged Glory (all pretty hard, guitar driven rock full of soloing), Freedom (kind of like Rust except Crime In the City and Don't Cry are like nothing else he's ever done), Sleeps with Angels (gloomy as fuck) all rate about equally with three of the four you mentioned, well ahead of Harvest, and are probably albums you'd like. Time Fades Away is sloppy but good.
It takes me decades to catch up sometimes. I've heard most of his stuff since Sleeps With Angels, but Prairie Wind is the only one I've bought and listened to regularly (it's very mellow).

Gracias! With football seasoning waning, I’ll need to get back to streaming full albums at work.

For me, it's 3 way tie between Nowhere, Tonight and Rust.
Nowhere has the best guitar jams with Crazy Horse.
Tonight is the arguable the most drunken, sloppy rock record ever not name Exile on Main Street. And I love drunken, sloppy rock and roll way more than progressive, technically gifted shredding.

I'd try Ragged Glory first. It's probably the most easily consumable and is definitely the most fun. There are a couple of somewhat serious songs but even those are spare on lyrics and long on jamming. It's all live, in-studio recording and Neil leaves all of the fuckups, feedback etc. in which is, well, fucking glorious. Farmer John, Fuckin Up, Love to Burn, and Mansion On the Hill are the highlight songs for me but they're all good (except mother earth. I suppose it was cool in the moment and he makes some cool wailing sounds with his guitar, but it's pretty cheesy.
Zuma is different but pretty easy to digest too. It's pretty much all about him being dumped and trying to understand and claw his way out of the murk. He describes that condition better than anyone else ever has for my money.

Rust is Neil's best album in terms of lyrics.
I don’t think I ever heard this one on classic rock radio, but this was what got me hooked on Neil Young:

I’m a music guy, not a lyrical guy. I dislike lyric first music, and only like vocals that compliment the sound. It’s probably why I don’t dislike commie pinko fascist musicians like other freedom loving people do, because if their hate speech is melodic with the instruments, then I don’t give a shit. I would strongly however wish they preach a different message, but I am all about sound.
I hear some people been talkin' me down, Bring up my name, pass it 'round. They don't mention happy times They do their thing, I'll do mine.
Ooh baby, that's hard to change I can't tell them how to feel. Some get stoned, some get strange, But sooner or later it all gets real.
Walk on, walk on, Walk on, walk on.
I remember the good old days, Stayed up all night gettin' crazed. Then the money was not so good, But we still did the best we could.

A hip drag queen and a side-walkin' street wheeler Comin' down the avenue They're all your friends, you'll come to love 'em There's a load of 'em waitin' for you Lookout Joe, you're comin' home Old times were good times Old times were good times Remember Millie from down in Philly? She took my brain and forgot my name The woman you were with was about the same She took your money and left town Lookout Joe, you're comin' home Old times were good times Old times were good times Glory hallelujah Will I lay my burden down? Singin' on the streets around Look at that crazy clown (look at him) Remember Bill from up on the hill? A Cadillac put a hole in his arm But old Bill, he's up there still Havin' a ball, rollin' to the bottom Lookout Joe, you're comin' home Old times were good times Old times were good times Old times were good times
Genius songwriter, below average guitar player… cunt of a guy
I’m waiting for the Rogan pod with Clapton.
Neil can’t play guitar like Clapton but kicks the shit out of the guy as a writer of songs.
Clapton has some good tunes out there, lot of overplayed radio hits. Clapton just had the street cred from fellow guitar legends that Neil doesn’t have that gives his mystique. Neil’s catalog is FAR more superior in my opinion.

I'll always put Clapton on the Mt Rushmore of technically gifted rock guitarist. But yeah, he can't hold Neil's jock strap as a songwriter. And most of his best work was in the group setting- i.e., Cream, Beatles, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominos, etc

Mainline Florida is a bitchin song from his late seventies stuff and I’ll admit some of his eighties songs are poppy but guilty pleasures

Unless I am drunk.

Should we notify NY that we listen to both of them? or is that not allowed?
I don't think Rogan cares...but should I listen to NY until Rogan advises me not to?
Damn these politics anyway

Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times

She took your money and left town

Glory hallelujah
Will I lay my burden down?
Singin' on the streets around
Look at that crazy clown (look at him)

A Cadillac put a hole in his arm
But old Bill, he's up there still
Havin' a ball, rollin' to the bottom

Turns out these people were just as full of shit as those they railed against in the 60s and 70s.
