    1. Neil Young
    2. Time Fades Away

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

    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.

    Yeah, it's a good un.... but that last track just brings it up short for me.. :shake:
     
  8. I've become a Broken Arrow fan as well. But for all time underrated I vote for his first album.

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

    I would have to say Ragged Glory.

    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.

    any of his recent work, like Chrome Dreams 2, Living with War and Greendale which have been just as good as anything he did in the 70s

    Anyone who doesn't realize that it's his greatest album ever!

    Seriously, this was still my first thought too. I know the album is well-thought-of...I just don't think it's up there as high as it should be.


    If this won't fly, I'll join those who vote for the debut album. I agree with everything Rene has said.

    My point with Zuma is that perhaps among a lot of folks, not this crowd, Zuma isn't spoken in the breath as..

    EKTIN
    ATGR
    Harvest
    On the Beach
    Tonight's The Night
    or even Rust Never Sleeps.

    I feel it should be. That's all

    others?

    WELD is a personal favorite.
    American Stars and Bars is another.
    and if you must have an 80s how's about Old Ways
