Reviews Customer Reviews for Decade      Good, balanced collection      Rating:      I bought this 2 CD-set for Neil's Greatest Hits and some that maybe should have been. Not at all disappointed with "Helpless, "Heart Of Gold", "Ohio", and the rest of the more familiar ones. As an interested but not deep fan, the Buffalo Springfield stuff and several other selections might take some time. My initial take on my first NY collection is that he didn't go into the studio to "write a hit". He had the words and music which wee going to connect with a very large number of fans, anyway. Young is a classic folk-rock stylist, instantly recognizable. Some of the more melancholy. drug-life reflections have little resonance today - drugs took away lives? It was terrible judgment (and perhaps powers-that-be who looked away because they didn't want to stifle...creativity) that claimed so many young lives. I don't care for the handwritten notes on all the tracks. That's for a preface or exit statement. I'd like to know Month and Year of recording and have the session personnel in bold print. Much has been written on the poor sound quality. My aging sound sytem might not lend to objective criticism. The acoustics come through without a hitch.     Customer Reviews for Decade Cd      Excellent Overview of Neil's Work      Rating:      I really enjoy this CD. It has great cuts from Neil with CSNY, Neil as a solo and duet artist, and Neil with Crazy Horse, so it's excellent in that respect. I've been a casual Neil young fan and I have a whole new respect for him after buying this album. I think it's a great purchase and I would highly recommend it. Editorial Reviews for Decade Audio Cd      Amazon.com      The first stop for anybody new to Neil Young's music, this 34-song set (originally released in 1977) traces his growth from Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to Crazy Horse to his Harvest band, the Stray Gators. The album defined Young to rock radio the way Hot Rocks determined which Rolling Stones songs would become classics, but this is more than a quickie greatest-hits collection. Rarities and hits--Springfield's "Mr. Soul," CSNY's "Ohio," and Young's "Cinnamon Girl," "Heart of Gold," and the closing "Long May You Run"--develop in thematic and chronological patterns. --Steve Knopper
