No. 24 After the Gold Rush by Neil Young (1970)
On the heels of his acclaimed album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and riding the creative wave coming out of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s classic Déjà vu album, the Canadian released this brilliant mix of earnest folk-isms and topical guitar-driven hard rock. While most 60s legends were experiencing an early 70s hangover, Young showed that he was only getting started.
