Alabama - Neil Young - Harvest - 1972

Ok, so here is a moral delima. On one hand we have a pretty good song by Neil Young during his heyday...on the other hand, this is the song that prompted the Lynard Skynard douchebags to write Sweet Home Alabama to defend their home land. So, should I hold the results of this song against it. I mean it's well meaning "the South has an ugly history of racism" stuff from a Canadian...and it has a decent guitar line and the great harmonies Young had on Harvest...but again, fucking Sweet Home Alabama...

You know what, I side with the Canandian. Fuck Bama...fuck it hard.

After the Goldrush - Neil Young - After the Goldrush - 1970

I find it massively appropriate that this song is from 1970...it sounds like a burned out Sunday afternoon hangover following a crazy weekend, with Monday looming like a shadow.

And who doesn't love a good French horn solo?
