Please help me evaluate neil young and Bob Dylan.

Neil young is the only folk rock singer who can be compared with Bob Dylan. In fact, neil young is superior to Bob Dylan in many ways. He can face criticism and album sales calmly. His artistic life is also longer. From the late 1960s to today, he has been busy writing, recording and performing. Most importantly, neil young never stopped exploring rock music, from early rock and blues to hard rock. But his favorites are folk rock and country rock. Neil young's works have influenced generations, and even some rubbish bands with no creative ability are happy to claim that they have been influenced by him. Today, after entering the fourth decade of his acting career, neil young still maintains a strong creative ability.

The core of neil young's music idea is always a strong sense of independence. He almost willingly denied expectations, trends and so-called fun. He is a rock hero, but he will never bow to fame and status. His songs have distinct personality or strong political color. He is proud of his status as a folk rock, singer and songwriter, but at the same time he abandons them and constantly surpasses himself. However, he is by no means a traditional eclectic. As far as possible, he regards the development of music form as the sole purpose of his creation, rather than a simple attempt. This process continues. It doesn't matter what kind of music style neil young pursues. Any music will be worth double immediately because of its unique temperament, and any band with him will become famous-Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse Song and Dance Show, crosby, Steels, Nash and Young.

Neil young (1963) appeared in Canadian folk music with the squire and began his singing career. /kloc-settled in new york in 0/964 and joined myna birds. Soon after, because of his dissatisfaction with myna's performance, he and the bassist Bruce Palmer went to Los Angeles to seek development. In Los Angeles, they formed Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Steels. The success of the band led to a series of crises, which began to annoy neil young. He quit the band on April 1968.

1969 65438+1October, he released his first album named after him, but failed to enter the charts. Soon after, he renamed a local band the Crazy Horse Song and Dance Show Rockets. With their cooperation, he released his second album "Everyone knows this is an unknown place", which became his first gold record. In April, neil young began to cooperate with crosby, Steels and Nash, and finally joined the band, helping the band release the famous album "deja vu". After the release of 1970, the new album immediately swept the streets, ranking first in the charts and becoming the best-selling rock record of the year. Neil Young has been a solo singer since he joined the band. In the same year, his outstanding performances in the single "The Gold Rush" and "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" established his superstar status as a singer and songwriter.

197 1 year, he left crosby, Steels and Nash. A year later, the country rock album Harvest became his first Zhang Guanjun album, and the album Heart of Gold became his only number one single. He soon got tired of this compliment. He completely changed his style and devoted himself to the original music work of the film Time Travel. This noisy and declining film is obviously not the object of his pure folk music. As a result, it is conceivable that Soundtrak's album Time Gone was unanimously recognized by the media as simply terrible. Neil Young is at the bottom of his career.

1972, neil young set out to create a cold album "Tonight" with drugs as the genre, but it was banned and its release was in the foreseeable future. In desperation, he created another album "On the Beach", which was equally confused and disappointed. 1975, "No Man's Night Tonight" was finally approved for listing, and at this time, he has completely stepped out of the trough, all of which can be seen from his hard rock album "Zuma" in cooperation with Crazy Horse Song and Dance Show.

Neil Yang of 1976 is at a loss. Although a series of albums have achieved good results, it always makes people feel that these are not what he wants. That year, during the promotional performance of his double album Long May You Run, he fired his collaborator Stephen Stills. 1978, neil young finished "Comes a Time" with the singer Nicolette Larson, at the same time, he was busy preparing the collection of country rock album "Homegrown" and his three albums "Ten Years". On the one hand, it is to move on, on the other hand, it is nostalgia. Neil young's chaotic mentality can be seen.

/kloc-at the end of 0/978, neil young and Crazy Horse Song and Dance Show cooperated again and started a large-scale tour called "Rusty Sleepless". From 65438 to 0979, the album "Rusty Sleepless" was released and listed, and received rave reviews. At that time, some people even regarded this album as a resolute counterattack against punk rock. In the autumn of the same year, Neil Yang released a double CD live version of Rust Dead and a live performance video of Rust Dead. The great success of Rust Sleepless rediscovered Neil Young's previous feelings, but he made a surprising move. 1980 released the collection eagle &; Doves full of conservative ideas make people turn off their appetite. A year later, neil young's rock album The Reactors failed again. Soon after, he joined the newly established Geffen Records Company. Gefen provided him with more production funds and creative freedom. Neil young created the album Trans, which is a brand-new album relying on advanced recording equipment such as computers. Once again, the result was disappointing, and the media were puzzled or even dismissive of this kind of music. 1983, on a whim, neil young recorded the old version of rockabilly's album "Everybody's Rockin", which is a relatively unfamiliar album for modern people.

In the mid-1980s, neil young recorded the country music album "The Old Road" and the new wave style "Going ashore". 1988, he returned to Reprise Company and began to write an album "This Note is for You" featuring blues and wind music. This album has been a great success, because MTV is often played, mocking rock stars for being too commercialized. At the end of the same year, he collaborated with crosby, Steels and Nash on the album American Dream again, but the evaluation was poor.

1989, Neil Young released the album Freedom. From 65438 to 0990, he reorganized the Crazy Horse Song and Dance Show and created the best album "Ragged Glory" since 1970s. In the subsequent promotion tour, neil young hired Sonic Youth as a warm-up band. Because of the attraction of sonic youth, neil young gradually gained the favor of alternative rock. At the suggestion of Sonic Youth, he finally released a small record of noise rock at 199 1 to match the release of live album Weld.

Wilder and Sonic Youth made neil young one of the godfathers of alternative rock. However, neil young gave up alternative rock again in 1992. Autumn Moon and Lucky Thirteen were released around 1992 and 1993 respectively, and the response was average. From 65438 to 0994, Sleeping with Angels became the pinnacle of neil young's career in 1990s, and was unanimously recognized as one of the representative works of that year. From 65438 to 0995, neil young began to record and release the album "Mirror Ball" in cooperation with Pearl Jam, which was well received by the media, but the sales volume was mediocre, far from the expected commercial purpose. To make matters worse, Pearl Jam, due to negligence in the production process, the album violated some legal provisions. As a result, the name of Pearl Jam was banned from the album cover.

1in the summer of 996, he once again collaborated with the Crazy Horse Song and Dance Show on the album Broken Arrow. Three years later, the super bands crosby, Steels and Nash and Young, which had been disbanded for many years, announced their reorganization. In the spring of 2000, Neil Young Sr released his first album "Gold and Silver Entering the 2 1 Century".
