Most Underrated song is Neil's first Billboard chart entry and it sounds as haunting now as it did when it arrived on the airwaves in 1966~ The brilliant "Solitary Man", dig those horns !<br />There are quite a few Guilty Neil <br />Pleasures my guiltiest are ~ Soolaimon it's made for drinkin' sing-a-longs. Then we have oh no no<br />etc. the feel good "I Got The Feelin' (oh no no)" get real guilty and have pleasure listening to "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother"<br />Now on to the Top Neil Fave Rave<br />Although "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation" gets so close to bieng my fave and it puts a smile on my face every time Neil sings ~<br /> "pack up the Babies and grab the Old Ladies" and "Love On The Rocks" is drama in the most moving way.It also comes very close to being at the top of my faves.<br />My ultimate Neil Platter is the awe inducing slice of brilliant pop "America"<br />Song that gave me a biggest Neil Live Thrill : "A Little Bit Me, A little Bit You"<br />Very cool comments everyone !Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759206134115438649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-19164687301538193292010-07-22T15:51:26.250-04:002010-07-22T15:51:26.250-04:00As for underrated, I'd say "Heartlight&qu...As for underrated, I'd say "Heartlight".

"I Am I Said" captures youthful angst like no other song I know. "Play Me" is about as steamy as you can get outside of the act itself...so much sexier than the bump and grind explicit lyrics today.<br /><br />Rolling Stone magazine called "Cherry Cherry" the greatest 3-chord rock and roll song ever and I agree. Can't stand still while that one is playing.<br /><br />However, my favorite is one of his newest. "Pretty Amaging Grace".<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YLQhVlC36g<br /><br />It is pretty amazing the man is still writing and recording and drawing sold-out audiences around the world (08-09 tour) and he is 69.
