I'm good with Keith. He made it to 70 never compromising his cool. He's still cool. Fucker will look cool in his casket.

The most amazing thing about NY is that his guitar tech is so low and yet his songs are so high.

Fuck Tom Waits. Unlistenable, IMHO.
He is pretty cool tho.
Oh, John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters were cooler than NY.

Of course those guys are cool..... buuut... when I think of them, I think of mostly one style of music.
For me, what makes Neil the coolest is his diversity as an artist. He never stops trying out new stuff. Geffen even sued him for not playing "Neil Young" music...
Is he Rock?
Is he Hard Rock?
Is he Country?
Is he Blues?
Is he Rock-a-billy?
Is he New Wave?
Is he from the future?
Is he from the past?
Is he Grunge?
Is he the Godfather of Grunge?
Is he Americana?
Is he Folk Rock?
Is he Pop?
Is he an Activist?
Is he Commercial?
Rock Opera?
Painter?
Psychedelic?
Is he coming out with yet another new album this year? (Yes)... Does anybody know what to expect? (nope)Last edited by TomCrac; 04-04-2014 at 09:46 PM.

You know, I love Neil. Awesome career. But, hey, the high voice I had to endure in order to get laid in college? Not cool. The Crazy Horse stuff? Cool.
I'll bet that Neil would answer Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan.

Trans marked the intersection of Neil and Devo. He made a movie at the same time with Dean Stockwell called Human Highway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Highway with Devo, Stockwell, and Dennis Hopper. If you read Shakey, his bio that existed before his recent approved bio, the conflict between Hopper, Stockwell, and Devo on set and off was palpable. Hopper thought the Devo geeks were very uncool. The Devo boys thought Hopper and his type were way uncool, too (Hopper was at the height of his out of control drugs and drinking period). The movie didn't turn out to be too cool, although I've never seen it. Maybe it is. It was cool that Neil attempted it.

You're not the first to try to change my mind, and probably not the last. Tom Waits' (and Joni Mitchell's) voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me (even before the smoking and drinking made it worse in later years) no matter how brilliant the songwriting might be.
I do like him as an actor.

^^^ Nighthawks at the Diner, a freaking classic. Nobody can hate that record.
Now, Neil Young: can't listen to him. That nasally off-key voice is torture to me. Like a stoned Geddy Lee with a stubbed toe.
