gotta give it to neil on albums, but for individual songs i think the stones has more undeniable works of genius.
saying this is as a huuuuuuuuuge neil young fan, but i don't think i like anything of his as much as "paint it black", "street fighting man", jumpin' jack flash", etc.

they were much better at singles than albums for most of the 60s. I find a lot of early Stones stuff fairly laughable tbh - next to their contemporaries (the Who, the Kinks, the Beatles, etc.) it's kind of ridiculous the amount of crap they got away with releasing.

Apart from the fact that the Stones recorded more great songs and great albums than Young, they were also snappier dressers. And did stuff like Performance, One Plus One, R&R Circus, Invocation of my Demon Brother, etc. Jagger even got dumped from Fitzcarraldo which is pretty cool. They helped fund Jodorowski I think right? Or was that just Klein? Sweet logo too.
In Neil Young's favor there's the Lionel train thing.

I mean I like both, but I'm way more likely to throw on a Neil Young record than a Stones record. But that's because I'm more of a lonely-guy-thinking-baout-things type most of the time and I don't get all angsty very much anymore.

I'm just saying I would like to see examples or more of an explanation when people call stuff misogynist, or call people "bad" or "assholes."
To me "under my thumb" is about the changing dynamics of a relationship. It could just as well be sung by a lesbian, singing about her lover.I don't see the hated of women in the song.

hey at least everyone has stopped opining about misogyny. bring on the bad jokes.
neil young was on fresh air (again) today talking about his new book/record and of course terry gross asked him some stupid questionsmy favorite was about how he was advised not to drop acid by his doctor, and she asked him if he followed his doctor's ordershe was like, "uh yeah, i did. i don't need to hallucinate any more than i already do" (i'm paraphrasing here) then she asked him what he hallucinated about and he said that he freaks out in the grocery store from the overwhelming abundance of things and colorsagain, a paraphrase, but he has this really amazing way in interviews of being totally frank and totally oblique at the same time that i think is really amusing when the questions are that dumb
