Neil Young

Neil Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian musician and filmmaker. 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 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. He retains a core audience of devoted followers.
 
Young is recognizable for his distinct high-pitched, nasal voice. In addition to electric and acoustic guitars, he has occasionally performed on piano and organ, and frequently complements singing with harmonica playing.
