 | Zuma by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £2.97 Stripped-down mouthwateringly-good country and blues-rock singles contrasted with lengthy slow burning guitar on Danger Bird & Cortez.
|
 | After the Gold Rush by Neil Young
Buy new: £6.28 / Used from: £2.46 A benchmark album. I tend to think of it as electric due to the blistering Southern Man and When You Dance, but actually it's mainly acoustic & beautiful. Listen to Birds and have a damn good cry.
|
 | Tonight's the Night by Neil Young
Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £2.98 Stripped down, bleak, wonderfully depressing/uplifting, featuring soaring pedal steel from Ben Keith and Nils Lofgren adding to the guitar heaven.
|
 | Everybody Knows This is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.99 Oft-overlooked precursor to Goldrush but just as good. Establishes his guitar sound once and for all. Standouts are Cinnamon Girl, Down by the River and Cowgirl. Awesome.
|
 | On the Beach by Neil Young
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £3.76 Apart from the relatively upbeat opener, every track a blues. So gorgeously miserable, ecstasy beckons.
|
 | Unplugged by Neil Young
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.97 You don't need Harvest. Unplugged is THE acoustic album. Savour that harmonium!
|
 | Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £2.89 Save the first verse for later, these songs BEGIN with guitar solos, then a bit of vocal, then back to the axe for more solos. Amplifier-meltingly awesome.
|
 | Freedom by Neil Young
Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £1.75 Brilliant return to form, good mix of acoustic/electric. Eldorado is stunning and the cover of On Broadway just smokes.
|
 | Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.40 Nice acoustic start before the unstoppable powerhouse of Crazy Horse puts it into orbit.
|
 | Mirror Ball by Neil Young
Buy new: £9.88 / Used from: £3.49 The last really great album of the 90's, with Pearl Jam supplanting the Horse.

Listmania!
