I don't play anything but vinyl so am in no position to even understand much less critique technical aspects of musicianship. But being almost 62, Neil Young was certainly a major influence in shaping my listening preferences early on. With over 4K LP's in my collection, he probably has the most repeat runs in one iteration or another. I only recently discovered "Psychedelic Pill", done in 2012 I believe, and I keep playing it over and over. Fabulous example of his talents IMHO. As for his political rants, we are on opposite sides, generally, of the spectrum, but I'm not about to let that spoil the enjoyment I derive from his music.
Neil Young - Guitarist
We all know Neil for his outstanding songwriting skills and some may even recognize his talents with a guitar but is he underrated? in 2015 Rolling Stone ranked him as number 17 of 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Can anyone pull more raw emotion out of a guitar than Neil?
