“Silver & Gold” is one of his sweetest love songs, concurrently saccharine, innocent, hopeful and eternal.ĩ. Neil has been known to sit on songs for decades, as one can only conjecture as to how many albums of unreleased material reside in Mr. “Silver & Gold” – Although released in the year 2000 on the album of the same name, “Silver & Gold” the song was originally written in 1981. And by “top ten” I explicitly mean not the best, completely arbitrary, but rather my ten favorite Neil songs which hopefully provide a sufficiently comprehensive introduction for the Neil neophyte.ġ0. And finally, it’s time to listen to Neil Young, my favorite Canadian! So roast up those pumpkin seeds, pour a glass of hot cider and take a look at my selections for Neil’s top ten. (DiMaggio had just 13 strikeouts in 1941!) Time to uncork those vintage Rieslings, pick apples, ride bikes and listen to “Monster Mash”, and only the version by Bobby “Boris” Pickett which made it to #1 in 1962. Time to watch playoff baseball, battle that addiction to and lament Joe Buck’s poor imitation of Bob Costas. It’s October! That time of the year again. LIPS – Everything to Me (Buy It) (Read)Ĥ9.

We sorted and sorted and sorted, listened through a TON OF STUFF, “traded jabs” on whether James Blake or Jamie Woon put on the tougher persona, etc. One truly epic and extensive Google spreadsheet later, we arrived at this Top 50. We started the construction of this list over a month ago. What wasn’t to love? The rise of weirdo R&B, the fall of chillwave, the end of R.E.M.
