I was finally able to work through all of Neil Young's 15 80's era CDs, musicians use to be so much more prolific. Many of these 80s artists continued releasing great CDs even though the CD release schedule was much more condensed compared to now.
A quick introduction to Neil Young. Neil Percival Young was born November 12th, 1945. Obviously Young, the so-called Godfather of Grunge, has had a prolific career. He's recorded with many amazing bands throughout the years including Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, Crazy Horse and Pearl Jam. Although this blog is mostly about Young's solo work and work with Crazy Horse, I'll be focusing on their 42 CDs. He has now released music in six different decades. When he dies, which I hope won't be for a long time, the world is going to lose a music legend.
Besides being a world renowned musician he also is an environmentalist, has worked with Farm Aid and has helped develop audio player Pono.
