Neil Young.The bloke is awesome. Agreed. I'm a Neil Young fan above and beyond anyone else. I didn't call him out for this category since he is so versatile. I guess his folksy acoustic stuff would fit the 'singer song writer' bill but his torch the amps stuff with Crazy Horse wouldn't. Either way the man is a genius. The best there has ever been. |

Those albums kind of take hold of you and they don't let go, fabulous stuff |
