nodep5 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Just wondering, what records people enjoy from this period or the late period Neil. At times I find it depressingly awful, to the point I have to go back and listen to Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere just to feel better. I'm not going to hold the 1980's against him, because I dislike 90% of music made in the 80's. But albums like Greendale or Are You Passionate? kind befuddle me. Anyway my top three from this period are 1. Sleeps With Angels2. Silver and Gold3. Harvest Moon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightOfJoy Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 "Freedom" is pretty good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 1. Harvest Moon2. Silver & Gold3. Sleeps With Angels4. Prairie Wind5. Living With War i actually LOVE Greendale... cheesy storyline and all, there's 2 totally amazing songs on there (i'd put Bandit up there w/ his best stuff for me...), but i can understand those who didn't get into it. the only post '00 record of his i can't stand is Are You Passionate. there's 3, maybe 4 worthwhile songs on there.

nodep5 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Say what you will, but I love Mirror Ball. I so wanted to love Mirrorball. At the time I was a huge PJ fan and loved the first single, but that record kind of drones on for me. Same with Greendale and alot of his more rocking stuff in the past 10-15 years seems kind of lazy. The first few times with Crazy Horse was raw and fresh, now it just seems tired.

explodo Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Say what you will, but I love Mirror Ball.Me too. My other top pick would be Silver & Gold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Ragged Glory. Dead Man soundtrack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The three peat records of Freedom Ragged Glory Arc/Weld works for me. Though I have not listened to all his post 80 output. I still do listened to Sleep With Angels from time to time, but not as much as the other three mentioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmait Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Harvest Moon is one of my favorite of all Neil albums. The title track and "From Hank to Hendrix" rank up there with anything he's ever written. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Harvest Moon is one of my favorite of all Neil albums. The title track and "From Hank to Hendrix" rank up there with anything he's ever written. I feel the same way. Some other gems on there: One Of These Days, Old King, Dreamin Man, Unknown Legend...

Analogman Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Harvest Moon is that last new NY album I ever bought, and maybe, one of the last new releases I ever bought on cassette. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 There's a whole other thread - my last new release cassette was The Cult's Ceremony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I tried to fit The Dead in, but it felt burdened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Harvest Moon is not my most recent cassette purchase (I still buy cassettes sometimes), but it is likely the most recently released album that I have on cassette.
