#2If you're interested in CSNY history, I highly recommend checking out the Best Show side podcast, "So Far," which recaps CSNY and related albums year by year.
As someone who was aware of CSNY and knew some of the more popular Neil Young stuff, it's been a great way to explore their catalogs in a somewhat directed manner. https://thebestshow.libsyn.com/so-far-episode-one-19691970

#3I'm glad Neil didn't erase the recordings. Sometimes bands have gems that stay in the vault for a long time. I remember reading about Nirvana's "You know you're right" years before it was released. I still remember the excitement I felt when it turned out the recording was real. Audioslave is another band that apparently has some good stuff in their vault. What was going to be the first single off of Revelations was shelved after their drummer decided he didn't like the track - but everyone else apparently loved it. Hopefully one day that sees the light of day.

I feel this. One of my favorite artists, Ray LaMontagne, has entire albums that he has apparently (due to essentially rumors and, at some point, wikipedia) worked hard to completely remove from the internet. They're from his early days and a little different in terms of his style and voice, but I never found anything definite about the reasoning. However, these albums have some of my absolutely favorite material of his, far more than what you can find on even YouTube now and I was fortunate enough to get some of the tracks digitally years ago and hang onto them. Some of them have even been covered more recently and become pretty popular.

#5I read somewhere that Neil could write a hit song almost everyday. Is there anywhere to hear these tracks that he released? I'm old, it's been so long since I've tried to buy music.

Neil Young Archives. Like Netflix, but for Neil Young.

#8One of my favorite CSNY factoids is that Jerry Garcia played the amazing pedal steel guitar part on "Teach your Children"

If you're into box sets, I am absolutely in love with these two sets. I love Neil Young and both of these box sets have more than enough gems to make me very happy. His work with the Squires is particularly interesting (to me) as I'm from Regina, SK so about 6.5 hours west of where he recorded those tracks:

Edit - If you're interested in a listen without such a big investment, both are available on Apple Music. I'm not sure about other platforms as I'm just an Apple Music user. Something something spatial audio grumble grumble...

This is worth a submission of its own!
