Vacant Horizon

The Live Archives Series has been excellent as well. There's also tons of unreleased nuggets sitting in vaults or floating around out there. Plug the stuff listed above onto your iPod and you'll have plenty of Neil to listen to for the next couple of decades. well said. i am moving in that direction. glad to see you like broken arrow. can't believe the critics panned it. i think it is at least as good as ragged glory, if not better. Big Time, Loose Change, Scattered...great stuff. also, those nuggets you talked about, my hunch is we'll see them on archives II, if it ever comes out

cortez- part of the fun of having a favorite artist is being critical of them and falling in love and detesting certain parts of their output...so i take your post personally!!! joke

well said. as another poster said, it's been difficult for me to just put the songs i like on the ipod and leave other tunes from the album off. also, it's so hard to not have 'everything' by an artist. but, its becoming less of a deal.

right on! i just went ape shit over being a completist over springsteen, dylan, neil young, postrock, wilco/UT/Son volt etc. like you, it was just all too much! although i love the ipod, it is so easy to just put so much crap on there and so liberating to put only the best stuff on there. i ask myself-do i really care if i ever hear this song again? if the answer is no, then it goes away! glad to find some kindred spirits. well said shakey- damn, i really wanted him to be my favorite!!

same way with zappa for me too. and with neil, it is really hard to listen to old ways, landing on water, and blue notes all the way through. really bad

dude, i am right there with you. hate most of the old, and new. i wanna get all the wes anderson films on my ipod and go from there.

so, for years i have been saying neil young is my all time favorite artist. however, i am finally coming to grips with the fact that i basically can't listen to half his catalog. so i am deleting all of that crap from my ipod. this is also happening with my other favorite bands...wilco, dylan, etc. anyone else have this issue? i have tried for years to really like 'all of neil' and 'all of dylan'...and i do, in my head, but in reality some of it is cringe worthy!

yeah, neil totally looks retarded. it's amazing how these dudes could be so wasted and play. when i just have a little buzz i can't play guitar worth shit.

agreed. it's basically a totally different song. it's evolution points to how much his band helps with arrangements of songs.

rock ON!! sincerely, your new bff

given what else is going on in the world, this is all pretty ridiculous though, eh?

i actually like the riffs on st. anger. just the lyrics and of course the 'loudness'...

he's not distinguishable. there's no difference between kirk and any other metal player. he may be a bit rawer. that's it. play some phil collin from def leppard and kirk from tallica and i bet we couldn't tell the difference.

point taken on the black album. but no response to the rest of my argument? just 'not a good argument' ?

i am beginning to think that bands, rock stars ect. are like sports figures. they make too much money. it's utterly disgusting. i don't give a shit how much they toured. that's what you do in a band. most people work a lot harder in a lot less fun jobs and never 'make it'. they are mediocre musicians at best and for them to make the money they do is a condemnation of our priorities in society. and they did exploit the 'angst' of the 90s. jesus christ, what do you call the black album, load, reload. that huge change in direction was totally in response to nirvana ect.

yes, dexter looks awesome and promising. totally compelling premise and i love that dude who plays dex. creepy, yet i have sympathy for him. californication is scraping the bottom of the barrel. they blew their wad the first season. doesn't mean i wont watch though.

it was good up until josh jackson, or whatever his name is. terrible. entourage is so bad! like, terrible.

well, let me put this in context. we're talking about TV here, not fine art, which is overblown as well. given what's on TV, Weeds, Dexter, Cali are at least a bit compelling. sopranos ok for a few seasons, but no pay off. seriously, wack tony, that would have been cool. again, we're talking about TV.

all of this is totally frustrating!! we've had electric cars since the 70s. you'd think that by now we would all have electric cars or at least hybrids. i like what neil young is doing in his attempt to do away with roadside refueling. however, other forces are at work. GM had the electric car (see Who Killed the Electric Car documentary). then they killed it, literally. they could have been the leader in market shares. however, contrary to popular belief, we don't live in a free market. if we did, innovation for alternative energy would be through the roof as would technology. but,

yeah, these guys really don't deserve the money they have made. they are just totally mediocre artists and just so happened to click in the 90s when angst was king. spoiled brats.
