Rust Never Sleeps has Powderfinger, for the win.

Anyone else notice how Apatow kept dropping the cover of Landing On Water all over Knocked Up. What's the deal with that? Consensus aropund these parts on that album?
― talrose, Wednesday, 20 June 2007 06:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Rust Never Sleeps for "Powderfinger", but also because of the individually peculiar time and place in which I first loved this record. Also, it's an incredibly balanced album in so many ways I can't be bothered to expand on here.

I noticed the curious product placement too, Tal. There's an interesting thread here devoted to Landing on Water.

me for tonights the night, too. its so close though - there are better songs on zuma and everybody knows, and almost enough to give the nod to one of them, but TTN takes it
― 69, Wednesday, 20 June 2007 15:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, Tonight's The Night would be my second or third and very close.
― Hurting 2, Wednesday, 20 June 2007 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Rust Never Sleeps by a hair, for side one and Powderfinger alone (though nearly sunk by Welfare Mothers).
― Davey D, Wednesday, 20 June 2007 18:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh c'mon, Welfare Mothers is great! My favorite Neil Young throwaway.

"On the Beach" - there's an ILM album if ever there was one
Sleeps With Angels is way too high. And Freedom is way too low.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 21 June 2007 16:18 (sixteen years ago) link
The fact that Zuma ranked below Trans completely invalidates this poll.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 21 June 2007 16:21 (sixteen years ago) link
So, basically, I'm the only person who voted for "Zuma"? Don't believe it.
― Tom D., Thursday, 21 June 2007 16:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I wasn't around when CSN(and sometimes Y) were at their peak, so apologies for the following somewhat naive question:
How much of Neil Young's popularity in the 70s can be attributed to his association with CSN? The thought never really occurred to me until I was checking out CSN(Y)'s Allmusic entry today, which says "it was the only American-based band to approach the overall societal impact of the Beatles".
Personally, I like Neil Young exponentially more than CSN(Y), so my gut feeling is that the majority of Neil Young's fans were there on account of his own talent. But was there a certain contingency of fans who cheered loudest for "Ohio" and "Helpless", contemplating to themselves at the Live Rust concerts that it would be better if CSN were up on stage too? Or was it more like "Why the hell does Neil Young ever play with them? They butchered 'Helpless'..."? Just wondering what the prevalent view was back in the day.
― Z S, Friday, 23 November 2007 20:11 (sixteen years ago) link
When CSN and sometimes Y reunited for a predictably horrible album in 1988, Neil begged off the obligatory tour, saying, "I dunno man, those guys need some serious practice."
And that Allmusic statement strikes me as comically absurd.
― Sara Sara Sara, Friday, 23 November 2007 20:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I admit it raised my eyebrow as well, but then I go the ILM search function, and the second thing I read on the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young C/D S/D thread is "i'm more interested in the fact that CSN(Y) (or whatever) were actually REALLY POPULAR and BIG -- as in springsteen in '85/outkast or britney spears BIG. that's such a radical sea-change in mass public musical taste that deserves some comment, no?"

On The Beach is very good, but would have voted Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, in fact i shall play it now

In their time their American album sales were HUGE. Their cultural cachet was such that their public greeted "Ohio" as a major statement. I'm wary of statements like AllMusic's, but the Shakey bio also makes the same suggestion.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 26 November 2007 03:48 (sixteen years ago) link
CSNY were huge because the Byrds, the Hollies, and the Buffalo Springfield had all been huge before.
