Neil Young throws in the towel and is coming back to Spotify.
"Now the 78-year-old rock icon, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, is coming back to Spotify. But he said it’s because Apple and Amazon have also become fonts of disinformation.
“Spotify, the #1 streamer of low res music in the world — Spotify, where you get less quality than we made, will now be home of my music again,” Young announced Tuesday in a post on his website.
Young continued, “My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at SPOTIFY. I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all, so I have returned to Spotify, in sincere hopes that Spotify sound quality will improve and people will be able to hear and feel all the music as we made it. Qobuz and Tidal, where my music is presented, are all High res as well.”

We all sell out
I'm hearing he had 150 million reasons
Still on my Amazon play list
I'm still a hippie
He's a quirky old geezer no doubt. His beef with "low res" Spotify has never made sense to me. Yes, Spotify, is low res crap just like Amazon and Apple music, but most folks don't give a shit. One has to drop a $1,000 on a DAC and another $1,000 on an amp and another $1,000 on some shitty speakers to here the difference between low res and high res digital.
Rogan is from NJ, bud.
And some of us, mostly me, but I’m sure there are others don’t have the ear to truly appreciate the difference between the low and high res.
Great opportunity for @RaceBannon to do it again and change Southern to Spotify.
My dream one day is for a band to withdraw their music from streaming platforms because the Hardcore Husky podcast spread too much mis-information about the Oregon Duck football progrum.
Possibly Everclear?
Is there a bigger musical win than Skynyrd over Neil Young in that situation? Young makes some mega whiny, repetitive forgettable song shitting on a region he knows nothing about. Skynyrd burns him in a song that becomes one of the most played rock songs of all time and even though I never want to hear it again is a phenomenal song.
First of all Alabama is a great song and contains no lies
Second Neil visited their grave. They had no beef
Third who is still breathing?
It was a joke though, pal.
Ronnie VZ loved Neil Young.
First
'Bout time your Antifa followers realized it
I'm glad you agree with me!
@WoolleyDoog one of my favorite early 2000s groups was the Drive By Trucker. Highly recommend "Ronnie and Neil" for this story.
