Best Neil Young Album?

American Stars and Bars - my only Neil Young album.

It's a very tough call, but I guess I'd give the nod to Everybody Knows.

BLd63, I'm also surprised at the popularity of Hawks & Doves. Go figure.

And I will vigorously defend Everybody's Rockin' as the best of his albums for Geffen (although that may not be saying much). It's artistically insubstantial, but it is kinda fun. There's nothing fun about having to sit through Life or Landing On Water. . .

Curbach: Come on dude. Anyone that doesn't think the lyrical content of 'mideast vacation' on Life isn't at least amusing should get a L...

One line in Greendale makes it worth the price of admission. "I won't retire but I might retread".....

Russellrcncom, you need to stop sniffin' that smoking gun :-)

Ok, partial credit for "Mideast Vacation" (and "Prisoners of Rock'n'Roll"), but Life is still a disaster. Actually, Life could have been decent if it had been arranged/recorded/produced properly.
