1. Neil Young
2. Time Fades Away

Both have their own distinct sound and feel and both are in my Top 5!

Clay

Who underrates "Zuma?"

Mine is "Landing On Water." Oh, it's horrid alright but does it actually cause cancer? I have my doubts.

Indeed. And TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT is one of the most-often praised NY albums, especially by fans.

For me, BROKEN ARROW fits the bill.

I was going to say Broken Arrow also. I bought it two weeks ago for twenty cents at a garage sale..... and it has been in heavy rotation since.

I've become a Broken Arrow fan as well. But for all time underrated I vote for his first album.

It's a damn shame Time Fades Away hasn't been officially reissued on CD.

Tough question, the first album is a great choice. I'll go with "On The Beach".

That would be my pick as well. I played it again recently and when you talk about underrated - this album never gets a mention, mainly because it's too 'cheerful' and therefore not typically Neil to some listeners. But it's a fine album.

And the LP sounds fantastic. Don't know about the CD, but I'm pretty happy with the LP (and the needledrop I made for the iPod).

I cast my vote for his debut album as most underrated. It has such a unique and singular feel to it that Neil has never returned to. And it has one of my favorite Young songs - the very short and powerful "I've Been Waiting For You".

Very wide, open sound on the LP, the CD sounds more closed in. At least on my stereo.

I'm really not sure what Neil Young record is "underrated." But I've always enjoyed REACTOR, and I don't think it's very highly regarded in general. "Who's driving my car now!"

I'll make a stand here, I enjoy "This Note's For You," It's Young's "Love And Theft" as far as I'm concerned- a great talent stepping out of his element and just enjoying himself.
