but I love Under Pressure so hooray!

Don't like All Right Now, even as I see its virtues and knew it would place very high in this poll.

Hoping that All Right Now is the highest Paul Rodgers gets in this poll.

I'm always surprised at how much ILM (and others) love Under Pressure. Mentally I've got it filed with some of Bowie's *other* megastar collaborations.

why did he come over for dinner and ask you rude questions?Nah, he busted the unions and then moved all the jobs off-shore.

Yes. The most CR of Neil Young songs.

― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:35 (ten years ago) link
yeah that's kinda weird
also i picture a cinnamon girl being a kinda dirty hippy girl

i like the song though!
Ismael Klata don't need him around, anyhow.

Young's an odd one. The only Young I heard on CR was "Southern Man," "Heart of Gold," "Old Man," "My My,Hey Hey," and maybe "Rockin'..." He just didn't exist. Too weird.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:37 (ten years ago) link
Cinnamon Girl is such a great song, I hear it on the radio a decent amount. Perfect lyrics, and it's heavier than Paranoid (the song).
― voodoo chili, Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:38 (ten years ago) link
I should clarify: I like Neil well enough, it's the voice that doesn't belong here. I can't relate what he does to the other singers here, who are really going for it in the main.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:39 (ten years ago) link
I don't think I've ever heard Neil on CR radio
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:40 (ten years ago) link
"Heart of Gold" is being played on CRR somewhere anytime.
― Randall "Humble" Pie (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:44 (ten years ago) link
You guys are nuts. Neil Young has at least 5 CR fixtures, Harvest was a big hit in its day. Having weirdo auteur tendencies and something like hip cred doesn't stop that.
― Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot, I mean she was (intheblanks), Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:48 (ten years ago) link
Neil Young should do a covers album of CRR staples. Imagine him doing Sultans of Swing for instance

Neil Young Gets Yesssssed Out

idk I just don't like a lot of hippie flakes in my classic rock granola
― SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:52 (ten years ago) link
HIPPIE FLAKES ARE THE MAIN INGREDIENT IN CLASSIC ROCK GRANOLA
― Randall "Humble" Pie (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:54 (ten years ago) link
Neil Young is all over Classic Rock, from Ohio to The Free World.
― pplains, Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:55 (ten years ago) link
Hell, though All That It's Worth in there too.
I GOT THE HIPPIE HIPPIE FLAKES
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:55 (ten years ago) link
Neil Young has at least 5 CR fixtures,
Plus Helpless and Ohio
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:56 (ten years ago) link
Neil ain't no hippie. He's a million miles away from that helicopter day.
― David Schramm (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:57 (ten years ago) link
I'm not saying he's not actually classic rock, it's just my tastes with this poll find me leaning much more to muscle car guitar joe walshyness and neil just doesn't fit that well in my mind with this stuff
it's weird!
i find myself getting v picky about what I want in my classic rock granola, a lot of my peccadilloes are surprising even to me
I feel bad though because Neil's my guy, I love him to death!!! he's gonna be so mad at me
― SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:57 (ten years ago) link
But there was that time he went to the radio interview and ended up alone at the microphone
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 31 July 2014 21:58 (ten years ago) link
Ironically, Neil Young has owned more muscle cars than Joe Walsh has.

Still gettin work done at the ranch
Neil young is 1000x more classic rock than fucking "under pressure" (which i like a lot)
― brimstead, Thursday, 31 July 2014 22:01 (ten years ago) link
just not very toned or swole muscle cars

as far as CSNY goes I only heard "Ohio" and "Helpless." Which raises the total of songs with Neil Young on them I heard to a half dozen.

I get what VG is saying, though. Neil is a cut above some of the CR staples. But so is fleetwood mac, etc.

xps ALLLLLL RITE NOW, god such an amazing breakdown/solo/bass groove sequence halfway through. been getting heavy into free lately, of course this is the big hit but it still owns
neil young is definitely classic rock, a necessary counterbalance to all the muscle car machismo. never been huge into cinnamon girl tho
