An Arbitrary But Definitive Ranking of All Neil Young Albums | Medialoper

Some ground rules here. No live albums, unless said albums were live recordings of new material, so Time Fades Away counts, but A Treasure doesn’t, even though it would have stood as his best album between Rust Never Sleeps & Freedom had he released it instead of Old Ways. No bootlegs. Sorry Chrome Dreams, but at least Chrome Dreams II counts. No collaborations with any combination of Crosby, Stills or Nash. No compilations or film soundtracks, so no Decade or Journey Through The Past. And what the hell, I’ll allow Hitchhiker, even if there was forty years between recording & release.
