So this is my first journal entry as (e:shakey) and as a member here, and boy howdy I am nervous as all get out. I am sure I'll get over that though once I puke a few times. That and some ice cold fine apple vodka (Fris) shots from the freezer and hemp paper rolled joints will get me right.
I've been a Neil Young fan since I was yay-high to a grasshopper, and I think my first words to mom and pop were 'oh to live on Sugar Mountain' but more about that later.
Several decades of vinyl, cassettes, tequila bottles, and CD's later, I dive whole hog into the best at least most informative Bio to date of Bernard Shakey, and reading that book was like filling in the blanks.
Anyway, there truly is no one song that is the Definitive Neil Young, but here are my humble nominations:
1. Danger Bird
2. Powderfinger
3. Like A Hurricane
4. Journey Through the Past
5. After the Gold Rush
Good music, good lyrics, and outstanding Bernard Shakey imagery there.
More to come once I get the bong put up. Like that will ever happen.
In Peace,
Geoffrey

What Song is the Definitive Neil Young?Category: music
More to come once I get the bong put up. Like that will ever happen.
I like you!
Welcome to estrip, Shakey.
Hi (e:shakey),
I agree with you with 1. Dangerbird and 2. Powderfinger.
I like Like A Hurricane but I wouldn't put in even in the top 50 Neil Young songs in my personal ratings.
I would put Captain Kennedy and Tonight's the Night and Time Fades Away in my top 5.
Don't be Denied, Sleeps with Angels, See the Sky About to Rain, Cortez the Killer and Yonder Stands the Sinner would round out my top 10 today.
Of course, tomorrow Old Man, Rust Never Sleeps or My My Hey Hey or even hey Hey my my might be on the list.
welcome!
