I remember I now. I remember how it started. I can't remember yesterday. I just remember doing what they told me.

267 (tie). Harvest – Neil Young (103 points)
I can't remember for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if "Harvest" was my introduction to Neil Young, at least as a "solo" artist. Very likely that or another album I won't spoil. A couple others were under consideration, but this is the only Neil...
