    Neil still matters more to history than Rogan.

    I just recently learned how to play Harvest Moon on guitar. Now I'm going to stop playing it. Just kidding. Who cares, Neil is an old man and I'm not going to stop liking his music.

    I remember laughing when I saw Neil Young listed at #17 on Rolling Stone's top 100 guitar players list. He was rated higher than Santana, Atkins, and even Les Fucking Paul himself.

    Not Neil's fault if RS wants to overrated him, obviously. And I like his music.

    VH1 did some top ten list of guitar icons about 20 years ago and put him at number five or something. What a joke.

    John Lennon was a total fag with an ugly wife. I still fucking love the guy.

    Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her (southern man)
    Well, I heard ol' Neil put her down
    Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
    A southern man don't need him around, anyhow

    Neil is a fucking music legend. Couldn't give two shits about what he thinks about Joe Rogan or covid. And Spotify has a CONTRACT.

    A lot of you appear to struggle with all of that.

    Neil put a lot of work in on his guitar playing

    He was very good and he was great at melody

    Rogan is probably #1 MMA color guy of all-time, had a hit TV show on network TV, a massive podcast (Howard Stern of podcasting), and successful comedian.

    Young has Buff. Springfield, CSNY and his 70’s solo career to hang hat on.

    You were correct 10 years ago.

    You were correct 10 years ago, 20 years ago, and today. People won't be listening to Rogan's podcasts one year after he stops doing it, and nobody even remembers what show/s he has been on. His MMA color work is going to be his one lasting legacy, as he is light years better than anyone else at it.

    Are people listening to old Howard Stern radio broadcasts when he wasn’t a crusty Karen? What about Rush Limbaugh? They both rank ahead of Young in historical terms.

    Rogan is tops (or very close) in two areas, strong in two others. Have you seen Rogan’s podcasting ratings? No wonder CNN is massively jealous of him and are trying to cancel him.

    Quick correction:

    Rogan had TWO hit network TV shows. I forgot about “Newsradio.” He’s more famous as the host of “Fear Factor” than as supporting character though.

    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.

    Rogan averages 11,000,000 listeners each podcast.

    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).

    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.

    Rust is Neil's best album in terms of lyrics.

    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.

    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.

    Unless I am drunk.

    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.
