Thin, nearly expressionless, nasal, I could go on. I appreciate her talent in songwriting but her voice bugs the fuck outta me. So many better (richer, fuller) female voices than hers, even from that Era: Aretha, Ella, Grace, Janice. Even Karen Carpenter had a far better command of her instrument.
Joni Mitchell is the quintessential whiny NY hip artist: too "brilliant" for me. I'm OK with that.

Did you know he made that album for his son who has cerebral palsy? Apparently his son seemed to really light up when hearing neil through a vocoder. That's a cool fucking dad.
Dude. Have you listened to Hejira? That album is all time IMO. It doesn't hurt that Jaco played on it.
Oh and coolest dude alive? Herbie Fucking Hancock. Saw him solo a couple years ago. He is fucking 74 and still playing music ahead of his time.

I saw NY in Seattle in 2012 and was like, "okay". Everyone else was all "right on!". I was hoping for more of a "On the Beach" experience.
Oh and Tipp, Joni is from western Canada and settled in So. Cal.
I'd have to say Leo Kottke is as cool or cooler than NY, and I really like NY. Last year I would have said Doc Watson.

A maggot who will go unnamed showed me a selfie of him and Neil Young cruising around in Neil's car.
I didn't even recognize who it was driving and when he told me, I said, "That's cool."

Tom on Neil
If you can't like at least the first part of this - you have no soul. And for that matter this song is maybe his best.

Neil Young...cool?
Neil Young is about as cool as giving your mother a Cleveland Steamer.
Richard Nixon was exponentially cooler than Neil Young wishes he was.
Bonnie Rait's used tampons are cooler than Neil Young's dreams.
Neil Young is to cool as Kim Jong Un is to representative democracy.
Neil Young's guitar playing is almost as good as Charlie Brown's pitching.

I think Neil is a great songwriter but he seems kinda of neurotic which is the opposite of cool. I love live music but would rather listen to Neil Young's recording than see him live. Maybe if it was in a small club or something he would be great but the whole arena experience doesn't translate well for Neil.

I saw NY and CH in November 2012 at Key Arena in Seattle. Part of the problem was that the sound sucked, totally overdriven and too much feedback. Seriously, it was hard to make out the actual guitar riffs and licks and the vocals were completely buried under white noise for most of the show. I would think Neil would be more concerned about the sound but apparently not.
It was funny when they launched into Cinnamon Girl and everyone stood up and cheered, including a couple in front of us about my age(mid 40s) and the woman turns to her mate and asks "what song is this?" while clapping and hooting like a deranged monkey, she must be one of their biggest fans. It was a pretty sloppy and overly noisy rendition.

Sound sucked = Neil sucks. Got it.
" I was hoping for more of a "On the Beach" experience."....
"Thats gold Jerry, GOLD!"

Hey, I didn't say he sucked, I said I didn't really think the show was that great. For the amount of money the tickets cost you would think that an artist with the experience that NY has would have the sound down. I've seen other acts in similar sized venues with fabulous sound.
I love Neil Young's music and I'm sure under different circumstance he might be great live. If all you got out of my posts was that sound sucked=Neil sucks you are retarded or illiterate.

Uh.. Part of the deal with Neil Young live is lots of feedback (except if he's doing an acoustic gig obviously). You need to dig out a copy of Arc (30 minute CD of feedback workouts from live shows) and immerse yourself. Or maybe it's just not your thing.
Anyways, saw him live in London on Saturday and he's still got itfur bearing, drunk, prancing eurosnob

Feedback is fine, I'm a huge Melvins fan and like other bands that use a lot of feedback live, but if it's overdone and makes most of the songs unrecognizable it's really not that great. Los Lobos opened in Seattle for NY and CH and the sound for their show sucked too and I've seen them several times before and loved them. Maybe it was the venue and a shitty PA, if that's the case I won't be going back to Key Arena.
Even the few solo acoustic numbers he did in Seattle weren't that great sounding. I still think NY is great and love his music.
