Another list but some pretty good writing:

Hyden is good at hiding a reasonable piece of criticism in the form of a list.

I'm laughing now at the thought of a Neil novice checking him out on the basis of the list and the first thing they hear is 9 minutes of "T-Bone".

Well he's completely wrong about "T-Bone", that guitar tone is monumental.

I wish that had been the case when instead I heard goddamn "Tell Me Why"!

hyden and i just experience music in entirely different ways (thankfully). i can't imagine listening to "tell me why" and thinking "he sure is showing those suckers cs&n"

Tell Me Why is incredible.

Everyone on this thread needs to hear his 1987 medley "Tell Me Why (That I Got Mashed Potatoes But Ain't Got No T-Bone)"
― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 4 April 2024 18:40 (one week ago) link
why does he start a list and then start another list going in the other direction within the list?
― budo jeru, Thursday, 4 April 2024 21:07 (one week ago) link
That seems like an appropriate format for Neil Young

That's a favourite of mine that didn't make his top 100. Also "Will to Love" and "Last Dance".
― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 4 April 2024 21:14 (one week ago) link
that's kind of what I thought too. of course, to really do this in true Neil style, he would have to publish the list in two parts and constantly push the publication of the second half in favor of continual updates/rewrites to entries in the first half.

not that it matters because it's just hyden doing a glib rockcrit thing, but the first live performances of "tell me why" were with CSNY. They probably had a little something to do with the arrangement on the harmony that ended up on the record
― intheblanks, Thursday, 4 April 2024 21:22 (one week ago) link
He'd publish the second half of the list first, abandon the first half, then release three collections of drafts of the second list featuring several unreleased tracks from the first list.

oh man, everyone OTM about tell me why, one of my favorite songs period
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 4 April 2024 21:24 (one week ago) link
Only two notes, really:
1) No "Cocaine Eyes" is the difference between me and Hyden, and our definitions of the verb "to rock," in a nutshell;
2) The version of "Like a Hurricane" on Live Rust is better than the version on Weld.

definitely not denying that his time with csn influenced the harmonies on that record and his approach to harmonies in general. hyden's particular flavor of bill simmons-y music is sports brain is just nails on chalkboard to me
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Thursday, 4 April 2024 21:29 (one week ago) link
me as well, I totally agree with you and was trying to take a shot at hyden's tossed-off received wisdom brainlessness, but i probably wasn't being clear there
― intheblanks, Saturday, 6 April 2024 05:06 (one week ago) link
just gotta chime in, on team "tell me why" 100%
― he/him hoo-hah (map), Saturday, 6 April 2024 19:42 (one week ago) link
me too, although at this point it's hard to say i don't have a pavlovian response to it, since it heralds yet another time i get to listen to one of my very favorite records
― budo jeru, Saturday, 6 April 2024 19:52 (one week ago) link
"Cocaine Eyes" is in my top ten Neil Young songs."
Re "Tell Me Why": I've grown to like it but it...took a while. I needed Zuma to loosen me up.

was it hard to make that arrangement with yourself?
