Thank you to everyone who voted for tracks in the previous round. In a sense, they were all winners. In a more accurate sense, only two songs were the winners. Please upvote your favourites in the comments sections to determine the final result!
It’s coming down to an all Harvest LP final. That being said, The Needle and the Damage Done is probably that album’s darkest track, anticipating the dark melancholy and drug-related themes of albums like On The Beach and Tonight’s The Nights. It’s probably the best possible choice from that album in terms of providing contrast to heavy favourite Heart of Gold.
Our consolation final pits the CSN&Y classic Ohio which is easily one of Neil Young’s most overtly political songs and the last representative from his work with fellow traveller Stephen Stills against the last Crazy Horse song standing, Cinnamon Girl which should make for a tense third place battle.
Semi-Final Results:
Cinnamon Girl (1) 14
The Needle and the Damage Done (4) 17
Heart of Gold (2) 22
Ohio (3) 13
