There are quite a few Neil Young songs in the lessons section...I have a sneaking suspicion our Mr Hodge is a bit of a fan on the quiet!!!
Heart Of Gold was the first one I learned, but a lot of Mr Young's songs are very user-friendly....don't forget, he plays a lot of songs solo, with only his voice and a harmonica for accompaniment....
Picking a favourite album would be a tough choice, but mine would be Harvest....another good choice would be the Unplugged session he did about 10-12 years ago....
:D :D :D

I'll second the Unplugged album. Good stuff.
Check out the Harvest Moon lesson by David Hodge. I played it the Hodge way for my teacher and he was most impressed. :)
"Everybody got to elevate from the norm."
The whole Harvest Moon album is great. Another good find is the Decade 2 Cd set. I've got a couple of live CDs too. HE's got quite a few hard rocking songs and mellow accoustic songs. I think you'd lean more towards the accoustic stuff from your previous posts. Check out the Needle and the Damage Done lesson by Mr. Hodge. GREAT tune.

Well I rate Neil Young up there with the Gods.
I reckon "After the Gold Rush" would have to be his best album IMHO.

I must be a child the 80s because I think Freedom is perfect from start to finish. As well as that I also recommend Harvest and Rust Never Sleeps to complete my holy trinity of Neil Young albums.
Yes it's an amazing body of work he has done from the 60s with Buffalo Springfield as an opening act for the Byrds. (the band he was in before that "the Mynah Birds" was built around singer Rick James)
i'm sure i could pick out a favorite song or album/cd from the 60s,70s,80s,90s, to the present without a problem.

What do you think of Prairie Wind? I'm writing up my favorite albums of 2005.

Rust never sleeps is one of my favorites. Weld is good too.

Thinkin' bout the times we had
Some were good and some were bad

I haven't given Prairie Wind a listen yet.
as far as songs go, and off the beaten path, I like Pochantas.
