50+ Reasons Why Neil Young's Music Matters
Over on Far Out Magazine, the editors have compiled a list of every musician to appear on Neil Young's studio albums. (Thanks Alan! Check your SPAM folder)
While we did not do an exact count, it looks like well over 50 musicians. In a similar vein, we here at Thrasher's Wheat started a similar endeavor 25 years ago and this is what we came up with on 50+ Reasons Why Neil Young's Music Matters.
Starting with Bob Dylan, the listing is an effort to justify the statement that Neil Young is the second most influential singer-songwriter of the 21st century still performing today. (Note: See methodology approach at bottom of post)

regarding the Far Out Magazine list, we've heard from some folks on obvious omissions.
For example, Far Out Magazine missed:
Willie Nelson
Karl T Himmel
Most of Promise of the Real
None of Pearl Jam
Bang on,Thrasher.You're right with the ones you mentioned.Did I miss David Crosby,Graham Nash and Stephan Stills as well?Cees Mostert,the Netherlands,Europe.
Good point Cees. Yes, key band mates are omitted here b/c CSN & Crazy Horse have many multiples of dedicated pages to those musicians and bands.
nevertheless, it would be good to link over.
we'll work on that sometime. obviously we're in a bit of a lull here lately so will get around to sometime on an update.
Thanks for readin' & Keep on rockin'!

//youtoo (little joke) ,Thrasher...play music (if you can) and listen to music whenever, wherever you want to. Music's a great healer,it certainly was (almost) all my life and not only Neil's music .Cees.the Netherlands.
