The Srones were more consistent in general i guess, sometimes it was an advantage, sometimes not.

stones easy. by an extremely wide margin.

wk, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:30 (thirteen years ago)

did the Stones ever collab with anyone as awesome as Rick James?

how's life, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:32 (thirteen years ago)

Mick collaborated with the Jacksons!

did they ever collab?

nostormo, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:34 (thirteen years ago)

I'm sure if thought hard I suppose Tattoo You, Undercover, Dirty Work and Steel Wheels boast more good songs than all of Young's eighties but I don't wanna think about it

Neil collaborations:
Buffalo Springfield
CSNY
Devo
Crazy Horse
Nils Lofgren
Linda Ronstadt
Pearl Jam
Jack Nitszche
... I'm probably forgetting a few

Rolling Stones collabs:
Dr. John
uh they had the Dust Brothers produce some tracks once?

crazy horse stretching it a little bit as far as collaborations go.

Feel like this is more a poll about how you roll than what you like.

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.

wk, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:40 (thirteen years ago)

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.

unusual number on their guitars:

film contest would be interesting but I think yr neglecting/underrating Neil's filmed work (particularly Human Highway but also his videos, some of which are hilarious and amazing)

Stones did not bankroll Jodorowsky, that was Lennon and Klein

if yr gonna give the Stones Jajouka than I say Neil gets to claim Royal Trux's Thank You by way of David Briggs lol

stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:45 (thirteen years ago)

that's like giving the stones credit for everything Jack Nitzsche or Jimmy Miller did.

wk, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:50 (thirteen years ago)

And I think Nitzsche worked with the Stones before he worked with Young, so the Stones should get credit for Neil Young.

wk, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:51 (thirteen years ago)

we need some kind of flowchart

stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:52 (thirteen years ago)

can we blame the Stones for Primal Scream? Neil gets Dinosaur Jr.

stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:53 (thirteen years ago)

well, not the Kennedys -- that was you and me.

taking tiger mountain (up the butt) (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:54 (thirteen years ago)

I just don't get why you wouldn't count Brian Jones collaboration with the MMoJ. Because he's not the whole Stones? Or because he doesn't play on the record? I would consider a Neil Young produced album to be a NY collab.

wk, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:54 (thirteen years ago)

cuz he didn't do jackshit on that MoJ record besides getting it financed

stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:56 (thirteen years ago)

unless you think phasing effects are really important

stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:57 (thirteen years ago)

actually, I do

wk, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:58 (thirteen years ago)

d'oh I forgot Neil's Dead Man sdtk in my list

stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 22:00 (thirteen years ago)

which is def better than Mick's sdtk for Invocation of my Demon Brother (so glad Anger got Beausoleil for the final version)

NEIL. How is this even a question.

these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 22:07 (thirteen years ago)

god Jagger is responsible for so much garbage. I think the Stones' lows are waaaaaaaaaaaay worse than Neil's lows.

peaks are all that matter to me

wk, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 22:11 (thirteen years ago)

this is a pretty gd-great run of seven studio albs in a row:

beggars banquet
let it bleed
sticky fingers
exile on main st
goats head soup
it's only rock 'n roll
black and blue

but this is better:

neil young
everybody knows this is nowhere
after the goldrush
harvest
on the beach
tonight's the night
zuma

Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 22:25 (thirteen years ago)

I would take neil's post-80s output over the stones' career

not sure why you would leave out the 3 before that which are all classics. Plus in terms of singles before Beggar's Banquet you have:

It's All Over Now
Time is On My Side
The Last Time
Play With Fire
Satisfaction
Get Off of My Cloud
As Tears Go By
19th Nervous Breakdown
Paint It Black
Mother's Little Helper
Lady Jane
Have you seen yr mother...
Let's spend the night
ruby tuesday
we love you
etc

at least 2 brilliant albums worth of material right there.

The Joujaka guys are on Steel Wheels.

50 Shades of Greil (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 22:46 (thirteen years ago)

Funny poll. Neil Young, based only on the music they've made that I care about. By now, they've probably both made more that I don't care about (or don't know) than I do. Predicted final score: Rolling Stones win 74-57, even though posted comments seem to point towards a win for Neil.

clemenza, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 00:12 (thirteen years ago)

heh neil just placed at #41 on 80s rock poll (tracks)

Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 00:18 (thirteen years ago)

If this was a poll as to which act is more likely to release an album I hold on par with their best work, then Neil. Cumulative ... tougher to pick than I thought. Neil's certainly got more compelling deep cuts that don't get played on the radio, which could be the deciding factor. I'd certainly rather be locked in a room with his complete solo/band/collaboration discography than the equivalent for the Stones.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 00:38 (thirteen years ago)

neil young for sure, as much as i love the stones. imo neil's freedom-sleeps with angels run stands pretty strong alongside his best work and the stones imo never came close to their peak again once 'exile' was out there. i do really like 'some girls' and 'emotional rescue' but not at that level.

omar little, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 00:48 (thirteen years ago)

yeah wow that clip is unreal, forgot about that....GWB actually has a pretty awesome moment there when gore steps up beside him and he's like "uh...hey"

farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 00:27 (thirteen years ago)

just like that moment in this poll when the rolling stones were all up in neil young's face, but neil was like "hey, look out"

Thanks WEBSITE!! (Z S), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 00:29 (thirteen years ago)

Look at that...I called 74-57 for the Rolling Stones, figuring they'd get most of the silent vote. So who would Neil lose to? Beatles and/or Dylan? (This is not meant as a poll suggestion.)

clemenza, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 00:32 (thirteen years ago)

beatles would beat neil

he might beat dylan on ilm

farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 00:35 (thirteen years ago)

yeah probably would. which is why i'm hoping we don't get that poll.

jaz a make wardance (some dude), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 00:42 (thirteen years ago)

Neil would not lose to whoever on ilm imo, esp not The Beatles

nostormo, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:15 (thirteen years ago)

nah the beatles would bring out the lurkers like a mofo and british ppl

farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:25 (thirteen years ago)

lurkers - maybe. british ppl - they should have been here already with the Stones, so..

nostormo, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:26 (thirteen years ago)

neil vs. radiohead amirite

mookieproof, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:27 (thirteen years ago)

and people who think The Beatles made better music than Neil Young (aka sane people) xpost

jaz a make wardance (some dude), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:27 (thirteen years ago)

did we ever do steely dan vs neil young?

farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:28 (thirteen years ago)

farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:28 (thirteen years ago)

my dad rock can beat up your dad rock

jaz a make wardance (some dude), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:30 (thirteen years ago)

it's grandpa rock now i guess

farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:31 (thirteen years ago)

"people who think The Beatles made better music than Neil Young (aka sane people)"

asking too much for ilm

nostormo, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:31 (thirteen years ago)

eh i would vote for neil just because i've spent a lot more time listening to him and it's more personal to me, like tonight's the night means a lot more to me than any beatles record

but the beatles are great i think they are one of the top bands on the scene

farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:33 (thirteen years ago)

i bet 'surfin bird' would beat neil young, also anything else

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 01:45 (thirteen years ago)

stones > neil > dylan > beatles, as far as polls go, though obv all deserve to be immortalized in statue form

da croupier, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 04:12 (thirteen years ago)

Only Steely Dan. And maybe Bohannon.

remtrollison (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 05:04 (thirteen years ago)

I like the stones and Neil more than Beatles but not sure how I stand re stones vs Neil

J0ni D. Franco (buzza), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 05:09 (thirteen years ago)

I am probably neil beatles stones dylan

I wonder how Neil would fare against Fleetwood Mac
