Folks-please be advised, that I rarely watch the news, and had planned on doing this ranking for over 2 weeks, so there is no 'tie in' to whatever is going on with Neil Young in the news this week. Let's keep this all about the music and the albums, and leave all the other b.s. for somewhere else...not here.

For me you passed on one I think is one of his most underrated: "On the Beach".

If you will rank his music currently on Spotify, that would be the shortest SOT show ever!! :))

Another vote for “Rust Never Sleeps”. One of my favorite Neil Young (Crazy Horse) albums.

He's got an interesting discography. I know it all, but in every decade from the 60s til now he's got albums which are brilliant and albums I do not care for... I obviously love his early classics and renowned stuff like Rust never sleeps, Freedom or Ragged Glory, but I particularly love his so called "ditch trilogy", Time fades away, On the beach and Tonight's the night. Zuma is also great. So many stuff! Love this guy.

Neil Young, my favourite artist of all time, does whatever he feels like (like heading for the ditch). You can go along for the ride, hop on and off when and however the mood takes. Seen him live with The Horse twice. Thanks for the ranking, Pete!

My favorite Neil Young album without a doubt is Pete’s number one Everyone knows that is nowhere, Down by the river is my number one Neil Young song. I don’t pay attention to today’s controversially and just listen to his music now.

Really appreciate the ranking, Pete. Neil Young is one of my favorites artists. The guy has been so diverse throughout his career and never afraid to tackle our social ills. A wealth of great music and lyrics. When I listen to Neil, it gives me hope that we as a species can become better. Perhaps there is hope for tomorrow?

Thank you so much! Great to listen to someone else's take on a truly massive library of fantastic music. I should not be surprised at all that my list would look very different from Pete's. But whatever - what's important is that his music is celebrated. On The Beach is on the shortlist of my favourite albums ever. As is Greendale. Honestly - probably both top 10 albums ever for me. The fact that those albums are separated by almost 30 years is testament to a remarkable career.

Hey Pete, I was relieved to hear your explanation on the timing of NY countdown. I look forward to my daily visits to your channel and just focus on music thus escaping the divisive politicking going on. Thx.

I consider myself a fan but I didn't get into his larger body of work until I was into my late 20s. The exception being "Rust Never Sleeps" and "Live Rust". For whatever reason I really liked those albums since their release (I was a teenager). One of my older brothers brought those discs back from college and I've been listening to them ever since. (Good thing Pete can't see my Phillies t-shirt that I'm wearing 😁)

Today my ten would be…. 1 Zuma - Danger Bird blew me away when I first heard it. 2 On the beach- “I need a crowd of people……” 3 American Stars and Bars 4 Live at the Fillmore East 1970 - Sparkling., come on baby let’s go downtown 5 Everybody knows this is nowhere- Cinnamon Girl is timeless rock. 6 Tonight’s the Night - melancholic and moving with the wonderful Nils Lofgren 7 After the Gold Rush - earthy Southern man 8 Greendale - Double E - unique almost lolling guitars and drums 9 Broken Arrow - Again thundering guitars of Loose Change. 10 - Rust Never Sleeps - Welfare mothers make better lovers Tomorrow of course these will change. Quite like his Americana album and about 60% of Barn!

My favourite Neil Young album is one that I rarely see on anybody's list of favourite Neil albums is 'On the Beach'

Awesome! I’m a huge fan of Neil but haven’t heard all of his albums either. That said, even a top 10 is difficult to do! Thanks for a great show as always Pete!

Great list man! 44 yr old Huge Neil Young fan from Montreal Canada! Saw him 3 times live and own so many on cd. I'm surprised you didn't put Rust never Sleeps, and On the Beach on your top 11. Those are killer! Love your channel by the way Peace Man!

Love Neil Young, Zuma is my favorite, when I heard Cortez the Killer my mind was blown. Great ranking. Have to revisit some of these. With recent events with Neil Young I hope the comments don’t dwell on political stuff, it’s about his music and his music is a timeless.

Great ranking show very entertaining. I would add an overlooked gem in Neil’s catalog. 1994’s Sleeps with Angels give it a listen you won’t be disappointed.

Seeing Neil and Crazy horse live blew my mind. It transcended music. It was magic.

1. On The Beach 2. Zuma 3. Tonight's The Night 4. After The Gold Rush 5. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 6. Comes A Time 7. Rust Never Sleeps 8. Sleeps With Angela 9. Prairie Wind 10. Ragged Glory

Nice ranking Pete. I think I'd have squeezed "Psychedelic Pill" from 2012 in there. Pretty good album with Crazy Horse

I love Tonight's the Night for exactly the qualities you described. Pete, you grasp the emotonal feel of that record perfectly! Because of the depth in some of the lyrics, it has always been special for me.

Thanks for doing this Pete!

Great episode Pete! And great call on Broken Arrow which on another day would be in my Top 10. Neil has a great catalog and I actually dig his musical detours which speaks for my #1 choice. 1. This Note's for You 2. On the Beach 3. Ragged Glory 4. Tonight's the Night 5. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 6. Rust Never Sleeps 7. Harvest 8. Greendale 9. Time Fades Away 10. Sleeps with Angels

Rock n roll can never die ! Great show from Pete ! Thanks !

GREAT list. Neil's catalog is so deep and high-quality it's mind-boggling, and there's an album for everyone whether it's Ragged Glory, Harvest Moon, Trans, and everything in between.

Neil Young has so many Great Albums.Every one knows this is nowhere is a great Album.Thanks for the list.

Good rankings Pete, I’ll just do my top five…very big Neil fan for many years. 1. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 2. After The Gold Rush 3. Harvest 4. Neil Young (self titled debut) 5. Zuma

Nice list, Pete. Always enjoy watching and listening to your casts! I've been a lifelong fan of Neil for many years and I'll submit my top 10 list: 10. Silver and Gold- A cool latter day release; love the folky and sparse feel this one has. 9. Freedom- Simply an awesome comeback from his scattered decade of the eighties. Perfect way towards reinvention! 8. Broken Arrow- Agree with you that this was a good/solid album with the Horse. Love the opening first half of jams! 7. On the Beach- Love the haunting, yet melodic and emotional starkness this "ditch" era album evokes. Classic Neil. 6. Harvest- As much as I don't listen to this all that much anymore, there's no denying the classic status this possesses. 5. Zuma- Again, with Crazy Horse and the first with Pancho on guitar, some awesome rockers and beautiful acoustic cuts. 4. Tonight's the Night- Haunting, drunken, bleary and astonishing, this record is simply stunning. Not for the faint hearted. 3. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere- The first with Crazy Horse and Danny Whitten. 'Nuff Said! 2. Rust Never Sleeps- Perfect Blend of Acoustic music with a ripping electric bend. Again with the Horse, Prime Record! 1. After the Gold Rush- This is the record that turned me on to the power and wonder of Mr. Young. All time best release!

This could be easily the top 20-30 albums from Neil’s vast catalogue, however a short and crisp presentation covering most of the essential albums. The others which imo are also essential listen are (few could still be left out ) 1. On the beach 2. Freedom, 3. Harvest Moon, 4. NY Unplugged 5. Mirror Ball, 6. Silver and Gold, 7 Chrome dreams, 8. Hitchhiker,9. Barn, 10. Psychedelic pill/fork in the road.

My 3 favourite albums "On The Beach", "Rust Never Sleeps" and "Comes A Time" not ranked. What a pity !

For me personally, I would go with 'After the Goldrush' and 'Rust Never Sleeps'

one of my favorite artists,despite his recent insane venture,lol My top ten; 1.Tonight's the Night 2.Rust Never Sleeps 3.After the Gold Rush 4.Zuma 5.Everybody Knows this is Nowhere 6.Time Fades Away 7.Ragged Glory 8.On the Beach 9.Harvest 10.Re Ac Tor

Good choices. Only one I miss is On The Beach. Great album, the Manson song Revolution Blues is one of my favourite Neil Young tracks ever.

Nice list, my rank of my top 20 (studio only)... I'm a fan of all eras 1- EveryBody Knows This is Nowhere 2- Ragged Glory 3- Sleeps With Angels 4- On the Beach 5- After the Gold Rush 6- Harvest 7- Zuma 8- Psychedelic Pill 9- First Album 10- Hitchhiker 11- Broken Arrow 12- Freedom 13- Tonight’s The Night 14- HomeGrown 15- Mirror Ball 16- Harvest Moon 17- Le Noise 18- Chrome Dreams II (Chrome Dreams I would knock one off this list when it's released) 19- American Stars n' Bars 20- Trans

Everybody Knows is the best for backup playing and guitar fire . I like On the Beach for grown up views , even tho it's sad .

....... I also like Neil The rocker Pete!.... Thank you for ranking his albums!...... Long time Neil Young fan throw me a bone 🦴.... Ranking Neil Young's live albums!..... My favorite Neil Young is Neil Young live!

Great channel Pete. Yes we come here to discuss music nothing else. Leave the bs to other channels especially those reaction video ones yuck, who feel unless there is a video to watch can't discuss properly.

Good ranking all great. I like all of those albums and harvest moon. I do enjoy a lot of his live albums especially with crazy horse. Pete I know you said later albums are not ones to you like. Of the later ones I do like freedom sleeps with angels, broken arrow, ragged glory, psychedelic pill, Colorado and Barn all with crazy horse.

Hey Pete nice review! Here is mine 1. Everybody knows this is nowhere 2. After the gold rush 3. Rust never sleeps 4. American stars and bars 5. Ragged glory 6. Harvest 7. Zuma 8. Comes a time 9. Chrome dreams 1o. Psychedelic pill Honorable mentions - freedom, on the beach, harvest moon Stinkers - everybody Rockin, Trans, landing on water

Thanks Pete! Nice video! I've been a big Neil Young fan since the mid 70s. And I will always be a big fan! I have most of Neil Young's albums on CD and a few on vinyl. I also have several of his DVDs. And as far as Spotify goes, I have never been to it and probably never will. I would much rather have the CD or vinyl record.

Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" has entered into the iTunes US Top 50 Chart!

Nice episode Pete. Neil has a vast catalogue. Very hard to narrow them down. Great video

I've never been a fan of his singing, but I found this informative so thank you

Really shocked literally nobody knows about Harvest Moon? That is one of my favorite albums ever even though I am 99% a metal guy. I grew up with that album all over Oregon my parents would play it on the tape deck so maybe I have nostalgia. You can't beat the easy melodies of the title track, try the wistful Hank and Hendrix. War of Man is Neals best anti war anthem secretly.

What a task. What a catalogue. To my ears Neil has had two golden runs - anything from EKTIN up to Tonight's the Night , and then everything from Freedom to Mirrorball. The only 21st century album I really like is Living with War. My top ten ( I think) 1. After the Goldrush 2. On the Beach 3. Sleeps with Angels 4. Harvest 5. Everybody knows... 6. Ragged Glory 7. Mirror Ball 8. Rust Never Sleeps 9. Freedom 10. Living with War.

I live in Colorado USA, and I've seen some of the Greatest Live Concerts imaginable. Easily more then 300. + Live shows, and to this day my 2nd or 3rd greatest Concert I've ever seen was Mr. Neil Young Trans . He absolutely Shredded it with some amazing Rock Guitar. He had no Band on stage but he was absolutely Phenominal. 🎼🎼🎼

Ragged Glory is a great album. I bought it on cassette when it first came out and this was the only time I got to see Neil Young in concert.

Very pleased to hear your opinion of Ragged Glory. My key listened to Neil over the last decade hand down. Also one of the most appropriately named albums ever. Sleeps With Angels is another goodie. Like his folkier stuff more than you. A weak spot for Hawks and Doves - may be too short to be a top album, but love every track.

Interesting timing. I just sold all my neiL young....except, CSNY Déjà Vu.

Timely episode sir. I’d go with 1. After the Gold Rush 2. Everybody Knows 3. On the Beach 4. Harvest 5. Tonight’s the Night

Very excited to see you put Everybody Knows this is Nowhere on top. Lots of great memories with this one. Cowgirl in the Sand is an incredible song.

Hey, what about ranking the Studio Albums of "Flotsam and Jetsam"? Great video pete!

I love Neil . I've seen him 4 times but not at all in the past 39 years. Guess we're both pretty old now . LOL

Hey Pete, Great show..The great thing about Neil Young is there is plenty to choose from..My Top 10 is as follows 1. After The Goldrush 2. Harvest 3. Rust Never Sleeps 4. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 5. On The Beach 6. American Stars & Bars 7. Zuma 8. Comes A Time 9. Harvest Moon 10. 1st Album..HM Ragged Glory, Mirror Ball, Silver & Gold & Psychedelic Pill..There are some others that also rate..maybe a Part 2 of HM of Neil Young's work..so much to delve into..

I love from "Sleep With Angels" ( 1994 ) song - " Change your Mind " . Kurt's last words in letter ...sad and glorious .

my top ten of NY; 1. On The Beach 2. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 3. Tonights The Night 4. Harvest 5. After The Goldrush 6. Comes A Time 7. Zuma 8. Neil Young 9. American Stars & Bars 10. Harvest Moon

'Trans' has a totally different meaning now, but that's easily in my top 5. They changed the mix of my favorite song Sample and Hold when it was released on CD! Also had a great version of Cinnamon Girl. Bunch of crazy vocoder voice box and programming along with some almost Hawaiian songs. Love the craziness of trying to make something different. Read the wiki page about the album. Wild stuff.

Thanks for ranking Neil Young. He’s an amazing artist that I love (….and he’s also put out some crap). This is going to be interesting.

Love Neil!! Another underrated one is on the Beach. Give his box sets a chance. Especially the early years like the unreleased springfield and early daze of Crazy Horse. Cant believe he didn’t release alot of that stuff. 70’s Neil is King for me.

Good review as always. Life , for me was a great comeback album to the style I enjoyed from Neil Young. Round-the-world, Mideast vacation, Inca Queen are some of my favorites. Reactor is another one of my favorites because of its hard rocking Style and opening up with Southern Pacific is perfect. Been a fan of trains since I was a kid and I love that song! Surfer Joe and Moe the sleaze is very cool also. Got Neil Young new album on order and really enjoyed the video making of barn. Something about those time elapsed scenes was hypnotic.

Neil Young has some great albums ! I agree with you Pete as I also gravitate toward the harder Rockin records with Crazy Horse. One album you didn’t mention that I love is On The Beach. It was part of his doom trilogy. But the songs have such an edge to them. And unlike Tonight’s the Night, there is some hope here. But overall I have nearly the same listing. I rate Zuma much higher because that record helped keep me sane when I was on a ship in the US Navy back in the ‘70’s. 1 Everybody Knows This is Nowhere 2 Zuma 3 After the Gold Rush 4 Tonight’s the Night 5 On the Beach 6 Ragged Glory 7 Harvest 8 Long May You Run 9 Neil Young (1968) 10a American Stars and Bars 10b Freedom 10c Mirror Ball 10d Broken Arrow 10e Psychedelic Pill [cause it’s hard to pick just 10]

My favourite and one I always go back to - "Comes A Time" - great songwriting, gorgeous songs - consistently brilliant. I cant find anything to enjoy in Neils music today - its output over quality I'm afraid. I cant remember his last decent album it so long ago lol. Cya

“On The Beach”, “ Zuma”, “After the Gold Rush” and “Tonight’s The Night” would be my favorite.

Great selections. My list in order of preference: Harvest After the Gold Rush Everybody Knows This is Nowhere On the Beach Zuma Comes a Time Rust Never Sleeps Tonight’s the Night Freedom Harvest Moon Thanks !

Quite a pleasant surprise to find a Neil Young ranking to enjoy. And foolish me…I never thought about any politics, I thought it might be related to the best of ‘’72 daily shows this month and that Harvest was released that year. My off and on fondness for Neil probably changes as often as he switches musical styles but there are certain albums cherished and enjoyed. Ten of them, with no ranking, are listed. Freedom Ragged Glory Harvest Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere Tonight’s The Night After the Gold Rush On The Beach Prairie Wind Zumba Comes A Timr Many, many thanks, Pete, for this ranking show.

Good list, my friend. I'm interested to know what you think of "Silver & Gold" one of my all time favorites. (He's got so many, "Rust Never Sleeps", Comes a Time"?) You can tell I'm one of those country/folk/acoustic Neil fans. Thanks for your time and effort. Also, I discovered your work through the latest Tull album.

1. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 2. Rust Never Sleeps 3. Freedom 4. Long May You Run 5. Harvest 6. Trans 7. After The Gold Rush 8. Zuma 9. On The Beach 10. Time Fades Away Someone lent me Psychedelic Pill a while back. I did some chores and popped out to the local shop. That first track was still going when i got back.

NY the rocker, I agree Pete. Your #1 is my favorite studio album too, but "Rust Never Sleeps" ranks higher. I also really like "Le Noise" from 2010.

I’m primarily a fan of Neil the rocker too, and I love Ragged Glory. My list would include Rust Never Sleeps and Freedom.

Been a long time Neil Young fan & I like the majority of his music & there are definitely some different styles of music he does in his own way. But here's how I would rank them. I'm going 1st to last though. The 1st two a absolutely love & never get tired of. 1. Harvest 2. After the gold rush 3. Everybody knows this is nowhere 4. Rust never sleeps ( Pete did you forget about this album, couldn't believe it didn't make your top 10) 5. On the beach 6. Zuma 7. Neil Young 8. Hitchhiker 9. Harvest moon 10. Tonight's the night

Interesting top 10. Never seen Long May You Run in anyone's top 10. LOL. But Pete...Rust Never Sleeps!! That is his best album. And Freedom is also outstanding.

One of my favourites. 1) After The Gold Rush 2) Rust Never Sleeps..... Though recorded live they were all new songs, so I'm including it. 3) Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 4) Ragged Glory 5) Tonight's The Night 6) On The Beach 7) Zuma 8) Havest 9) Harvest Moon 10) Time Fades Away.... Again recorded live but all unreleased prior to this.

Terrific job, Pete. I think the baroque chamber pop that Neil Young did with 'Broken Arrow' in the 1960s is amongst his finest work as an artist. Please do Joni Mitchell next. Keep up the great work.

1. On the beach 2. Sleeps with angels 3. Zuma 4 Prairie Wind 5. Everybody knows 6. Harvest 7. TNT 8. Ragged Glory 9. After the Goldrush 10. Time fades away

Your top 4 are mine too! But i just cant place them... Really sad to me as a Spotify user, not to be able to hear his stuff...

Try out Sleeps With Angels and I think you'd like Psychedelic Pill Pete ( some very long jam tunes)- right up your alley. Also a few newer releases of some 70's albums that were planned for release but held back at the time: Hitchiker, Homegrown. Freedom, Harvest Moon, Silver and Gold, On The Beach are real good too, if you haven't heard them.

Glad you mentioned "Reactor"....it's one of my favorite Young albums. Very rocking and hard.....it's simple...but it rocks. Definitely agree on "Ragged Glory".... I love "Rust Never Sleeps"......

"Everybody knows this is Nowhere" was my very first LP album I bought, I still have it, and it is my favorite Neil Young album.. but must say I do not listen to his music so much anymore.., oh and Fragile Yes was my second ever album ! and my Third ever album was 'In Rock" Deep Purple.. thank you this episode brings back some memories..., 'keep on rocking in the free world !!

As a Neil superfan my favorite 5 listens (right now) Sleeps with Angels On the Beach Broken Arrow Le Noise Psychedelic Pill

Harvest is #1 on my list of his albums. The opening track, Out on the Weekend, holds a special place for me.

I just went to check some of these out on Spotify but couldn't find any so I listened to some Joe Rogan podcasts instead....

Nice list, I like Live Rust and Hawks and Doves. My favorite song by him is Cortez the killer.

I saw Neil perform, his Greendale tour 2003, I was vastly impressed. Balleds like, Bandit, spoke to me. He did the tour with Crazy Horse backing him. and for an encore they did some classics;, Hurricane. and Rocking in the Free World. were a few gems. I liked his follow up album after Greenwood, Prairie Wind 2006 has some beautiful numbers on it. , After the Goldrush is my number 1 favorite. followed by Harvest

The great thing about Neil Young is you get a thousand fans and their top ten lists would not be the same because he is so varied. Great Rocker Great Folk Artist Great Country Greater Country Rocker.......

Sat down on a garbage bag, in the rain, under a tree, and saw these guys at ACL Fest some years ago. One of my favorite moments.

Not a big fan of Neil Young but to be fair I will say love the album Deja Vu by CSNY.

1. On the Beach 2. Zuma 3. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 4. After the Gold Rush 5. Harvest 6. Sleeps With Angels 7. Harvest Moon 8. Ragged Glory 9. Freedom 10. Silver & Gold I must say Sleeps With Angels is quite underrated (or then I'm biased because that's the first Neil Young album I bought). The highlight there is excellent lengthy guitar-rock song 'Change Your Mind'.

Saw neil on the reactor tour..wemblbley arena..first half was the new album with face mikes..second half really rocked , so loud and heavy..nils on second guitar..ausome.

Politics aside, Young's discography is one I haven't investigated yet so this show is very helpful to begin.

I've left out a few, but this is my top 30: 1. Harvest (1972) 2. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) 3. After The Gold Rush (1970) 4. On The Beach (1974) 5. Re-ac-tor (1981) 6. Rust Never Sleeps (1979) 7. Ragged Glory (1990) 8. Tonight's The Night (1975) 9. Freedom (1989) 10. Trans (1982) 11. American Stars 'N Bars (1977) 12. Zuma (1975) 13. Comes A Time (1978) 14. Neil Young (1968) 15. Everybody's Rockin' (1983) 16. Mirror Ball (1995) (With Pearl Jam) 17. Harvest Moon (1992) 18. Are You Passionate (2002) 19. Sleeps With Angels (1994) 20. Old Ways (1985) 21. Hawks & Doves (1980) 22. Chrome Dreams II (2007) 23. Psychedelic Pill (2012) 24. Broken Arrow (1996) 25. Dead Man OST (1996) 26. Silver & Gold (2000) 27. Long May You Run (1976) 28. Greendale (2003) 29. Landing On Water (1986) 30. This Note's For You (1988)

Thank you Pete. It's a hard to do Neil

I rather gave up on Neil after the mid '90s, so my top ten goes up until then. 1. *On the Beach* 2. *Tonight's the Night* 3. *Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere* 4. *Comes a Time* 5. *After the Goldrush* 6. *Zuma* 7. *Rust Never Sleeps* 8. *Harvest* 9. *Ragged Glory* 10. *Harvest Moon*

1. Rust Never Sleeps 2. On the Beach 3. Zuma 4. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere 5. Harvest 6. Tonight's the Night 7. After the Gold Rush 8. Time Fades Away 9. Ragged Glory/Harvest Moon (can't decide!) 10. Sleeps With Angels

Recently went on a major rediscovery of his catalog and purchased what ever i didn't already own on CD I have just about everything at this point . I love his folky stuff as much as with Crazy Horse and his more obscure stuff like The Blue notes come on Neil with a horn section many hated it I loved it , the Deadman soundtrack even digging Trans but I have to say his newest Barn is one of his best in decades my absolute favorite is Ragged Glory so much so I've gone threw at least 3 copy's over the years .

Interesting list. Broken Arrow at 9? Many NY fans are completely clueless wirh this record. What about Mirror Ball or Landing On Water instead? And no Rust Never Sleeps??? The album, that has grown most over the years is Time Fades Away, which is my favourite now: 10. On The Beach 9. Re•Ac•Tor 8. American Stars 'N' Bars 7. After The Goldrush 6. Tonight's The Night 5. Ragged Glory 4. Zuma 3. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 2. Rust Never Sleeps 1. Time Fades Away

A bold choice. Neil Young´s catalogue is extensive and varied. I have six of his albums, and have probably barely scratched the surface, yet will not be adding more of his output to my collection. Over and out.

Solid list! I probably would have swapped out a couple in exchange for Everybody's Rockin' and Comes a Time.

Saw Neil in Vancouver many years ago where he opened with an acoustic set took an intermission then did an electric set. It was an amazing show!. The best part was when Randy Bachman joined him for an encore of Keep on Rocking in the Free World.

Agree with most most choices. But I would have placed 'Psychedelic Pill' in there. Its got some lengthy guitar workouts which is is great. Also the album 'Freedom', apart from the title, there tracks like 'Crime in the City' and ' Elderado' which are favourites.

"I thought I had this, I'll have to rectify that...Maybe I had it on cassette at one time? Yeah, I'm not a big Neil Young fan ..." Pete Pardo LOL
