Wait, do some people seriously not like A Man Needs A Maid? I’ve always thought it was one of the best songs off Harvest. So full of emotions.

You guys had the same final 3. Just in a different order. And I love all 3. Music is life. I'm detoxing and this video has been a blessing. Gonna throw "On The Beach" on now! God bells you! My favorite is "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere." "Round & Round" slays me to this day. Makes me want to cry... I think "Through My Sails" off Zuma is one of the most beautiful tunes ever.

Top 4 or 5 Neil albums often switch places but the one constant at number one for me is TTN. An achingly raw and honest piece of work. The fragility and almost falling over the edge vibe on that album always blows me away. They just about keep it together after recording with the aid of Tequila and joints etc. And it shows. So much atmosphere and heart. Not his 'best' vocal performance ever but my God it's my favourite. You can feel the hurt and desperation in his throat.

Sleeps with angels os one of my faves.

My top 10: 10. Rust Never Sleeps, 9. Freedom, 8. Sleeps with Angles , 7. Ragged Glory, 6. Zuma, 5. After the Gold Rush, 4. Everyone Knows this is Nowhere, 3. Harvest, 2. Tonight’s the Night, 1. On the Beach

Great video guys! I can't split Neil Young albums as hard as I try so I can imagine how hard it was for you, however every listen I have Tonight's the Night stands out a bit over the others, so I'd probs pick that. Keep up the good work!

So many great songs....I've been a Neil fan since 1972. Man Needs a Maid Is my favorite Neil song. It gets a lot of bad press ...it's just a beautiful vulnerable song. Mellow my Mind....with On The Beach #3. Danger Bird is my favorite studio jam with Cortez and Huuricane closing fast. Thanks for the fun...

Nice setting by the way....cool accordion 🎵🎶

Harvest is the only album (aside from Greatest Hits) that I knew well. Very glad to see it start as #10, you both provided good information for me to expand my Young horizons. Upvoted and subbed.

Great video!! My route to Neil is maybe a little different. I've been listening to NY's Decade triple vinyl for years but I've just started exploring, and love his live albums. I've been listening to Songs for Judy this week and Tuscaloosa. I've got Tonight's the Night on now. Oh my - its fantastic. I feel lucky I can really listen to so many albums for the first time.

ON The Beach is Number one for me...Do you know how it was recorded ? Just the history of the recording tells it all. Ok there it is: Neil Young was recording Tonights the night in the other studio and he needed air, he was smash by the whole happening and the pain and etc. So he goes in the other studio and he just starts playing , improvising words and clear his body and mind of everything...just in another state of mind his recordind his sub-conscient...Than after he worked the album and refuse to put out Tonightand put out On the beach first... Only after he accepted to put out Tonight...At the same time he didn't do any interview for 2 years...i ended up alone at the microphone...

Harvest Moon is a great later album too. But for me it's On The Beach. Side 2 outstanding.

I saw Neil and Crazy Horse play his first album at the Troubadour in LA. What a fantastic night it was.

It's very different going through and make a top ten like you do, young persons, and us that we lived the 70,s at the time...when the music arrived with our youth, when THE MUSIC was THE CULTURE. Not one thing cultural among others cultural thing. So making a list for me who is 63 got an emotionnal involvement totally different because stuck with what was happening at the time around and in my life, following him trough concerts and interview....I will give you an example: I live in Montreal and Neil was making a show in TO but not coming to Montreal. So on the train again to Maple Leaf garden, smoke our heards off , sit and then hear for the first time HEY HEY MY MY and songs from RNS...It wasn't out yet and hearing live for the first time is THE thing...now everything is seen trough the era and the leitmotiv of:It is now and here. Not 45 years later. Like the only show at The Bottom line NY (solo) of 74 and On the beach is played almost entirely...now guess my list with the emotional involvement lol

My top 10 1. Psychedelic Pill 2. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 3. Harvest Moon 4. Ragged Glory 5. Zuma 6. On The Beach 7. Trans 8. Le. Noise 9. American Stars 'n Bars 10. Everybody's Rockin'

You guys are my new favorite thing! Watched your dylan top 10 last night and here I am again. You guys Canadian? Love you, ❤️✊🏽🤘🏽

“I never knew a man who could tell so many lies. He had a different story for every set of eyes. How can he remember who he’s talking to. But, I know it isn’t me. And I hope it isn’t you.” Also “you’re only pissing in the wind. You don’t know it, but you are. But there ain’t nothin’ like a friend who will tell you that you’re just pissing in the wind.” Both from “Ambulance Blues” from “On the Beach.” Written when he was just 24. Favorite artist of this 65 year old’s life.

You guys should also do a review of the Neil's Archive release of Homegrown coming out in June.

Listening to Neil for almost 45 years! My top 10; 10.Freedom 9.Harvest 8.On the Beach 7.Ragged Glory 6.Time Fades Away 5.Zuma 4.Everybody Knows.... 3.After the Gold Rush 2.Rust Never Sleeps 1.Tonight's the Night

Great videos! Would love to see you guys cover Homegrown or the upcoming Archives Vol 2

"On the Beach" would be one of his best even if the whole LP was just "Revolution Blues". Damn, those lyrics is hard! 🦃⚡🎸🇨🇦🦃

I’m a new Neil fan so this was fun to watch considering I can’t possibly have my own list yet- I feel like there isn’t that many videos out there about his music compared to others so I get so excited whenever people talk about him ahah

Agree with 99% guys and really enjoyed your video. My top ten would have to include his first one tho. Probably because I found it in a church jumble sale in the mid nineties and played it to death for a year maybe, then forgot about it until quite recently when I've been getting back into Neil in a big way. Saw that same record go on ebay for 200 recently so I'm glad I looked after it (it's an early pressing which was recorded in a way he didn't like - so subsequent versions were mastered differently)! I also like making up my own albums and I've done one of the Buf Spring songs and demos which holds together so well I love it. Like, how cool is 'Sell Out'?

I absolutely detested On the Beach when I first heard it. But, as with many of his best albums (including Time Fades Away, Tonight's the Night and, in latter years, Americana), it's now at the top of my list and would be my Neil Young desert island album. It's not an album for surface dwellers, but once you open up to it, no album by Neil or anyone else will take you as deep.

Psychedelic Pill is a unique choice. I'm in my 60s and seeing Neil with Crazy Horse was always on my bucket list and I finally saw them at the Austin City Limits music fest in 2012. They played a lot of material off that album which I had not heard and I loved it. Great jam album! I also deeply love Tonight's the Night.

1.TIME FADES AWAY ,2. NEIL YOUNG, 3. TONIGHT S THE NIGHT,4.HSRVEST ,5./ RAGGED GLORY , 6.ON THE BEACH

'Mirror Ball' is the best Neil Young album & at the same Pearl Jam's too.

I love "A Man Needs A Maid."

Thanks for the rundown, guys. I'm no less a NY junkie as you folks, but my list is somewhat different from yours. 10.Old Ways. 9.This Note's For You. 8.Comes A Time. 7.Time Fades Away. 6.Long May You Run (w/Stills). 5.After the Gold Rush. 4. Ragged Glory. 3.Freedom. 2.Tonight's the Night. 1.On the Beach

After the Gold Rush. Classic.

Not many I feel compelled to comment on but Neil is one. Top 5 for me without seeing yours. 1: Everybody Knows this is Nowhere 2: Zuma 3: After the Gold Rush 4: Tonight's the Night 5: Ragged Glory

Time Fades Away is amazing.....Wake Up! It's a Monday morning!!!!!!!

Great list! You should do a top 10 Dylan albums next.

I love American Stars. Under appreciated album.

"A Man Needs A Maid" is an instant classic, much in the same vein as "The Last Trip To Tulsa." I am 70 years old. You guys don't look half that. Good for you! But, I'm guessing your Neil favs are much different than us that were around in the day. I do like your list. I just can't help but notice that you are seem to be representing second generation fans. And I'm not in that category. Peace!

My top from worst to best and fave song or two: Best soundtrack: DeadWood Or after the goldrush - almost was. stars and bars - Will to Love Rust never sleeps - Powderfinger (top 5 Neil song) On the beach - walk on or On the Beach Time fade - Love In Mind ZUMA - cortez the killer, Don't cry no tears eponomous IVE BEENWAITING FOR YOU .. SO GREAT . BEST EVER STUDIO SONG. LIVE .. IT SUCKS for a Neil song EVERYBODY KNOWS cinnamon girl Harvest - Old Man Or Needle After the goldrush - when you dance i can really love I am cheating - Buffalo Springfield songs - expecting to fly, mr soul, on the way home.

On the Beach is my favorite

My top 10 would be 1. After the goldrush 2 on the beach 3 rust never sleeps 4 Everybody knows this is nowhere, 5 Zuma 6 tonight's the night 7 Ragged Glory 8 Harvest 9 Comes a time 10. Time fades away honorable mentions: American stars n bars, freedom, harvest moon, sleeps with van gels, and psychedelic Pill.

And I might add as someone mentioned Austin City Limits. In '85 with the International Harvesters playing Amber Jean , never sounded better. Hat's off to Mr.Young.

You all need to listen again A Man Needs A Maid, really listen to it, don't write it off, just one of many deep songs in Neil's library. If you did this list a couple days from now, it would be different.

On the Beach is the real fan‘s number one pick.

Danny Whitten wrote "Come on baby lets go downtown" , Neil co-wrote it, they played it live quite a bit before Whitten died, its on Crazy Horses first album , sans Young.

"Freedom" is a top10 for me.

Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, Zuma, Ragged Glory, Tonight's the Night, After the Gold Rush tops for me. Add in soundtrack to the movie Dead Man

1. after the gold rush 2. everyone knows 3. tonights the night 4. harvest i'm surprised how many people put "on the beach" as their number one. never would have thought that.

10. Chrome Dreams II. 9. Trans. 8. Everybody Knows this is Nowhere. 7. Time Fades Away. 6. Harvest. 5. Tonight's the Night. 4. Rust Never Sleeps. 3. On the Beach 2. Sleeps with Angels. 1. After the Goldrush.

After the Gold Rush #1 without a doubt and Harvest #2

The thing about "favorites" is that you can't go wrong with your own personal taste. I'm closer to 60 than I am to 50, and have been a fan since the mid-1970s. FWIW [no pun intended], here's my top 10 - 10. Harvest [1972]; 9. Ragged Glory [1990]; 8. Freedom [1989]; 7. Comes a Time [1978]; 6. Zuma [1975]; 5. Tonight’s the Night [1975]; 4. On the Beach [1974]; 3. Rust Never Sleeps [1979]; 2. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere [1969]; 1. After the Gold Rush [1970]

What about Harvest Moon?

1. Tonight's the Night 2. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere 3.On the Beach 4. After the Gold rush 5. Time Fades Away 6. Rust Never Sleeps 7. American Stars n' Bars 8. Sleeps with Angels 9. Le Noise 10. Zuma 11. Ragged Glory 12. Freedom 13. Harvest 14. Old Ways 15. Harvest Moon

1. After the Goldrush 2. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 3. On The Beach 4. Zuma 5. Comes A Time 6. Harvest 7. Harvest Moon 8. Rust Never Sleeps 9. Tonight’s The Night 10. Neil Young (1st)

Ragged Glory is my favorite Neil album

This was an enjoyable watch - thanks guys! And I concur with your Top 3, with Tonight’s, Rust, and Gold Rush rounding out my top 6 (interchangeable order). “Live album” as a category... sure it technically means “recorded live,” but 99% of the time (in rock and pop) it implies a semi-greatest hits collection, with some deep cuts and the very occasional new song. To call “Rust” a love album may be technically correct, but it’s an album full of new stuff, a legit “part of the canon,” and the follow up “Live Rust” is much more of “a live record” as traditionally understood. Love the love for the highly-underrated “Ragged Glory”! Better than the more-praised record from around the same period, “Freedom” (which does have some excellent songs but suffers from crummy early-digital sound, something audiophile Neil rarely fell prey to). Another underrated gem from a few years later: “Mirror Ball,” Neil with Pearl Jam. They obviously love Crazy Horse and do their best to create the raw roar, and they get pretty close. Songs are very good. Better than its near-contemporary “Sleeps With Angels,” which again got more critical praise. By the way, gotta tease you a bit: how can “I could’ve put this one higher” apply to every record? Then you... I mean... that couldn’t... oh well, fun video 😃

Can't say I've heard all of Neil's LPs. but most probably as I have been a fan of his music since Buffalo Springfield. I thought "Life" best of the Geffen Era. His very 1st "Neil Young" solo effort. Both deserve a mention. Freedom, Prairie Wind, Chrome Dreams 2, Le Noise, impossible. Would take a mighty long time to rank. Would have to be done by Era. No way you could leave out Gold Rush or Harvest. Too much great stuff, all the different bands. Totally ridiculous. International Harvesters rank high. And on and on and on..whew.!

Heart of Gold was Neil's only no.1 single, Harvest was his only no. 1 album. I really like it, have no songs to complain about on it. But I bought when it came out and have been listening to it a long time. Out On The Weekend my favorite on the album.

Totally agree about putting Harvest not in the top five or even top 10 for me. While it is great Neil is at his best when he is not as smooth.

On The Beach, the song, is like a psalm.....if I had to pick my fav album it would be Zuma. Then again.....

I can talk NEIL albums all day & night!

Danny Whitten wrote' Come on baby lets go Downtown' thats why he sings it, tho he got partial credit, Neil admited it was a DW song

Awh, how can u rate Neil's stuff? His first 3 albums thru Harvest, then Zuma and my fav... On The Beach. Such great stuff later, not just "Hey, My, My". Just look at the comments here, and you'll find great music.

On the Beach +1

Psychedelic Pill from 2012 is a must for any Young album top ten, it is what Neil Young is all about, great lyrics, huge guitar hooks, riffs and solo's, sadly under rated, my favourite Young album bar none.

Cant mention RUST NEVER SLEEPS without 'Thrasher' one of his best songs

Greendale Prairie Wind Rust Never Sleeps

WILL TO LOVE is one of those songs that u either love or hate, i love and hate it myself

1. ON THE BEACH 2. AFTER THE GOLDRUSH 3. EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE 4.RUST NEVER SLEEPS 5.ZUMA 6.CHROME DREAMS 7.TONIGHT S THE NIGHT 8.RAGGED GLORY 9.HARVEST 10.SLEEPS WITH ANGELS

Over all it's a pretty good choice for that day...lol

Finally a decent Album Ragged Glory should be rated way higher

can you credit niel himself is'nt into this album?

"American Stars And Bars" is my least favorite NY album from the 70s (1968 to 1979), other than that, I would have a had time ranking them

All of the albums from 1969 - 1979.

1 mirror ball 2 sleeps with angels3 harvest moon4 zuma 5 rust never sleeps 6 on the beach 7 greendale 8 after the goldrush9 silver e gold 10 psycadelic phil

need a top15 at least

Harvest Moon anyone?

In all fairness, I think you should name your "stinkers" on Goldrush. It's my No. 1, and no stinker tracks.

I get that it's your opinion, but in WHAT WORLD is "A Man Needs A Maid" a "stinker?" And "cheesy" lyrics? Maybe if you take them at face value and refuse to understand the deeper meaning behind them. I recommend you watch the 1971 BBC Live version of the song to begin to understand the meaning behind the lyrics. Yikes guys. Yikes.

Cleary these guys have no idea what "A Man Needs A Maid" is about. They probably think it's misogynist which it isn't.

Tonight’s the Night Rust Never Sleeps Zuma On the Beach After the Gold Rush Weld Time Fades Away Hitchhiker Ragged Glory Psychedelic Pill

Of course Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere is 1

Zuma way better than on the Beach

Harvest at No 10 ?! First red flag A Man Needs A Maid not a good song ?! thank goodness they said it so early. Second red flag. Over and out.

Jeezus, On the Beach and Zuma at a thrift store??? What are these people thinking just giving it away.

Man needs a Maid .. just ignore the lyrics (except for the line that ends like a 'Beggar going door to door" and the a way Neil sings it is kinda cool. Theres a word in not very good at all, and can i be more sick of Heart of Gold.. Out on the Weekend is better and more interesting, imo, after 25 listens

Every man does need a maid

On The Beach is not in top 4

PHYSCHEDLIC PILL is the best Neil of the 21st century, 'Walk Like A Giant' one of best Crazy Horse songs ever, as is 'Ramada Inn', Silver and Gold is also good from 21st century, most his other newer stuff sucks, PEACE TRAIL all time worse album ever made

list is personal but you two are still funny and redicuolus. Personal or not you should follow some general values . Your work is similar to some Beatles fun who start with Sgt Pepper or White Album on place 10.

PSYCHEDELIC Pill was awful!!!!! Ragged Glory way better!! Comes a Time was okay but not that high on top albums!!! ZUMA way way better

These 2 squares are in way over their heads critiquing Neil Young...better off listening to The Helen Reddy Band.

Sorry Neil Young the voice just gets to me like he's grating at my ears. So bad so sad.

Don"t know what you guys were smoking. What does the album covers or the typography have to do with evaluating an album? So lame. 5 thru 10 don't belong there. 1 through 5 needs to be re-arranged. Nowhere is trend setting and belongs on anybody's top 25 of all time.

Zuma and On the Beach are average albums, Harvest, After the Goldrush, and Everybody knows this is Nowhere, are classics, you two spend too much time together, listening to average music, nothing great about Zuma or On the Beach, a handful of nice songs.
