| Neil Young |
| Neil Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer and guitarist. Coming to prominence with pop band Buffalo Springfield, and reaching his commercial peak during the singer songwriter boom of the early 1970s, his career is marked by experimentation and for his frequent stylistic changes, that have often left critics, audiences (and in one notable case, his record label) baffled. His back catalogue includes folk and country, hard rock, rockabilly, garage rock (which saw him tagged "The Godfather of Grunge") and electronica. Despite this, he retains a core audience of devoted followers. |
