Harvest Vinyl Record

Harvest is Neil Young's first album after leaving Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and is still one of his best and most commercially successful. Neil Young essentials like "Old Man" and "Heart of Gold" can be found on this record, as well as a handful of pretty magical album cuts, from the incisive "The Needle And The Damage Done" to "There's A World", buoyed up by the London Symphony Orchestra. Luminary 70s folksters like David Crosby, Graham Nash, Linda Ronstadt, Stephen Stills and James Taylor make appearances, too, putting Harvest in the running for Most Jam Packed 40 Minutes of Music Ever.

Neil Young's two Grammys don't quite tell the whole story of one of folk and rock's most incisive social and political commentators. Young's skipped precious few beats in terms of output throughout stints in Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and a solo career that's made waves far beyond the city limits of his native Toronto. Whether it's explored delicate acoustic treatments or scorching guitar work alongside Crazy Horse, Young's work (and work ethic) has influenced a generation of writers, activists, guitarists, and analog aficionados.
