neil young is not an album artist. at least he wasn't in the 70s. all of his albums have significant flaws. don't get me wrong, i love neil young, it's just that all his albums (at least the ones i know) have a varying amount of filler on them. after the goldrush is *******d in my list mostly for the reason that i wanted to have a young album in there. and it's a classic for me, and my favourite of his works. nobody needs cripple creek ferry though.

I like that song, and I think he's completely an album artist with very little filler, especially in the 70s. You say tomato...


some of his 80s output sucks, but that's another story

can hardly call that a 'major flaw' though, it's just a quirky song that's like 1 minute long
