Have Neil Young and Bob Dylan ever done a duet together? If so, did anyone live to tell the tale?

Neil Young's songs are often better if someone else sings them. Example: Lotta Love. I used to like the After the Gold Rush and Harvest albums. He's certainly written a lot of terrible stuff.

Ditto Dylan.

My list (in no particular order):

Freebird - Lynrd Skynrd
Paint It, Black - Rolling Stones
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - George Harrison (I love the video where Prince did the guitar solo)

I'm sure there's a bunch more as I think about it, but that's the list the comes to mind right now.

I saw Peter Frampton do a fantastic version of this in concert a few years ago. Awesome song.

Get "Neil Young live at Massey Hall". This was recorded before Harvest came out. After some unneeded talking "Old Man" is a thing of beauty on this album. His voice is much better then it was later on.

His bad period was the rock-a-billy era and his Trans era. I went to a concert in Seattle and the first half he did it acoustic which was great. The second half was rock-a-billy and after standing around for a song or two with that WTF look on their face people started leaving.

For old rock songs I love Grand Funk Railroads "Closer to Home".

Ditto Tom Waits. Listen to Rod Stewart's "Downtown Train" and then Waits original. Now that I think about it I like Waits better.

More than a Feeling is a great song, although my fave Boston song is Don't Look Back.

A few of mine (some have been mentioned previously):

Black Dog, Stairway - Zeppelin
Purple Haze - Hendrix
Honky Tonk Women - Stones
Free Bird - Skynyrd
Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Baba O'Reily - The Who

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
