| My nephew has asked for some Neil Young and has shown an interest in Bob Dylan. So I'm thinking about attacking him with 5 of the most 'essential' albums in an attempt to lure him into the dark side. I suppose the criteria should be the 5 most influential albums but I'd rather open it up to 5 albums that would seduce a 21 yr-old into our world of 'musical bollocks' and away from the Kaiser Monkeys. Beatles and Stones? Miles Davis? Black Sabbath? Go for it. |

| If he likes Neil Young and Bob Dylan, he's obviously more of a folkie than a rocker. Therefore... (the last suggestion comes from my 14-year-old daughter who has nicked all my Nick Drakes and the above-named Neil Finn CD) |

| As a BIG Neil Young admirer, I take exception to you lumping Neil and Bob together. True, Dylan plugged in many years ago, but stayed pretty much "a folkie" to use your vernacular. Mr. Young, on the other hand, has done a hell of a lot more. In fact, he has more "rock" albums than many rock bands: This Note's For You Reactor Zuma Broken Arrow Trans (one of my favorite "off" albums) Ragged Glory Rust Never Sleeps Mirror Ball (with help from Pearl Jam) So, let's throw out James Taylor's Greatest Hits and pick any ONE of the aforementioned Neil Young Albums. I couldn't agree more with Carole King's Tapestry I would substitute Revolver or Sgt. Pepper's for the White Album Can't argue with Nick Drake's Pink Moon And instead of one of Neil Finn's increasingly boring solo albums (althoug hTry Whistling This is fine), how about his work with Split Enz or Crowded House? Personally, I would choose The Very Best Of Crowded House (Recurring Dreams). Just some thoughts from the Garden State. Ric |

| "The Essential Leonard Cohen" includes many of his better efforts -- influential folk-poetry that might appeal to your nephew. (Alternatively, the original album "The Songs of Leonard Cohen" is a good start.) |
