Love Ragged Glory, fantastic album
I was nicely surprised by how much Ragged Glory material he still did when I saw him 2013 - incredible experience.

This leads me to ask - is it common amongst you guys to experience this - the first album you ever hear by an artist always remains your favourite, even if common wisdom says it may not be anything like their 'best'?
I mean, in this thread we're praising Ragged Glory/Weld era Young, but many longtime Neil Young fans wouldn't perhaps say this is his best (or even typical) material.
I also like Social Distortion, who toured with NY on the Weld stuff - Mike Ness tells the story that its there where he decided to go to P90s in his guitars, inspired by Neil's roadie removing the mini humbuckers from new guitars and literally just throwing them in the bin as he installed P90s in their place...

Most of the stuff on Reprise was great, but he's been terribly hit and miss since. Saw him live with Booker T which was awesome. Pity he was a little shite when I saw him with Pearl Jam at Reading. It was more about arty silouttes and feedback endings.
I learned strumming with the Crazy Horse stuff he did with the extended solos.
I’d say very few can play like Neil Young though no matter how much work you put in.

Hunting down Arc right now for my noise fix
I think in general I don’t tend to like the first album I heard best from most artists, having thought about it. Some exceptions obviously.
