Mine..........................Harvest Moon 
Neil Young.....Your favourite track?
1 of 2
Can I have two? One from his gentler side My Heart which is just gorgeous, and one from his electric side Powderfinger. Superb riffs and that lyric of 'Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou.' Beyond brilliant.
Too many goodies to chose just one but if pushed, the cover of Blowing in the Wind on Weld, The Needle and the Damage Done and Hey, Hey, My, My are probably my favourites.
Great thread. My faves are Old Man, A Man Needs A Maid and Pocahontas. Any song who's first lyric is "Aurora borealis" is a winner in my book.
Tough thread seeing as Neil has more albums than many artists have songs. I am now in danger of being that person who comes into a thread and posts a list of fifty when only one was asked for so I'm just going to go with the last one I listened to:
Like an Inca
Like an Inca
Some classics already mentioned, but I will add Change Your Mind from Sleeps With Angels. A stunning, and very long gem.
Don't Let It Bring You Down
Least favourite: Rockin' In The Free World, along with most of the other tracks on the Freedom album. Just horrible, lowest-common-denominator rawk songs.

It's always irked me that Freedom is seen as a 'return to form' by a lot of people. It seems that the entirety of Neil's output in the 80s is dismissed due to not being Harvest 2 or Rust Never Sleeps 2. Personally I would say it was one of his best periods and that he had a much better 1980s than the rest of the 60s relics who were ill-advisedly chasing that dreadful soft rock style back then.
Give me Landing on Water over Freedom any day.

I think it was his Status Quo album and I never bought any more after that.
