So, what have you been listening to lately?

I'd rather listen to Bob Dylan and Neil Young a million times more than John Mayer. Speaking of hell, Mayer's singing is truly hellish and unbearable to have to listen to. He can play guitar, though. That's the problem. Sometimes guitarists think just because they're good on guitar that they can also sing.

I'm actually a fan of both, just don't consider them to be top notch vocalists.

Dylan talks through most of his vocals as much as he sings, but unlike Neil, he can write, and he doesn't sound like a cat with its tail being stepped on.

Please don't insult the man by comparing him to Neil Young.

Agree

It's comforting to know that I'm not alone.

As I've said before, Neil must have some compromising photos of Crosby, Stills and Nash, there's no other logical explanation why they wold let him play with them.

Maybe the old days with Stills?

They were fantastic as a 4-person group, and Young's Cinnamon Girl and Rockin' in the Free World are a couple of my all time favorites. I get that Dave doesn't like him, but IMO there's much to be said for Young's work.

I'm not sure if taste in music is all that much of a conscious choice. Usually you either like something or you don't. I was once in an Irish shop totally enjoying myself and soaking up the atmosphere. A TV was on. Then someone turned it to a Neil Young concert. It startled me. I remember standing there thinking why someone would want to do that. But taste in music is personal and subjective. Also, I'm sure the people running the place couldn't have cared less if I liked Neil Young or not. Anyway,, except for "Heart Of Gold," I don't.

Well, turning on anyone like Neil Young during Irish music is a lot like a fart in an elevator. It would have been the same for Springsteen. I forgot about Heart of Gold; thanks for the reminder...another one I like a lot.
