No point arguing kids! There's enough Neil and Junkies for everyone! Neil is God and has written and performed amazing music for many decades. I saw him in Vancouver Nov. 11/12 and guess what was second song out of the gate? "Powderfinger", and it was as great as ever. The unique thing about Neil is that his music is timeless, there's so much of it and he's never ashamed of pulling any of his tunes out of his bag of musical delights at any time. How many other artists can match him? I'd say none

Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail I think you'd better call John, 'Cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't come to stay It's got numbers on the side and a gun And it's makin' big waves. Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou So the powers that be left me here to do the thinkin' And I just turned twenty-two I was wonderin' what to do And the closer they got, The more those feelings grew. Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin' He told me, "Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin'" But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it comin' Raised my rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why. Then I saw black, And my face splashed in the sky. Shelter me from the powder and the finger Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger Think of me as one you'd never figured Would fade away so young With so much left undone Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her

But being a fan of Leonard Cohen myself, I'm surprised that you don't appreciate Neil Young songs like Heart of Gold, Old Man, The Needle And The Damage Done, etc. If you haven't heard those, give them a listen (not that they resemble Cohen at all, but it seems like they'd be closer to your taste.)
