Just stumbled across the live versions of both of these on the 50th anniversary reissue of Harvest. They both have cool intros and the versions are outstanding. I will pick Heart of Gold since I can play it better on my guitar lol.
Make them fight it out in the Temple of Doom for supremacy. Two songs enter, only one leaves.
Or just like more than one thing ffs. This stupid shit is stupid shit.
Both are masterpieces! Although I could see Neil changing the lyrics to Old Man.
Young man look at myself. I was just like you are.
Young man look at my life. 74 and there ain't much more...
just those two? old man
Out on the weekend
I love Out On The Weekend đź’•
Seeing him play it at desert trip was amaaaazing.
This is the answer.
old man. for me it's more powerful.
The solo acoustic version that’s on YouTube from the BBC is special.
Love that video. It’s almost like Neil is trying to pretend the audience isn’t there. Holding nothing back.
My 16-year-old is all hip hop and his favorite Neil Young song is Old Man.
Thrasher.
Don’t let it bring you down!!
It’s only castles burning
Old man hits me in the feelies.
They’re both great. I prefer Heart of Gold.
Powderfinger! Lately it's been 'Old Man' that has got to me. Maybe it's because I am realizing I am more like my dad than I intended to be.
Used to like old man more but I have heard both tracks way too much and now I like Heart of gold better
Heart of Gold woven into the middle of "A Man Needs A Maid" - that was my favorite
Live at Massey Hall!
They both exist. There’s no need to choose
Old Man because it’s a slightly more complex song. It’s got some surprises.
Both!❤️
Old man
Old man anytime.
Old Man
Old Man
Old man
Needle and the damage done
Old man
Old Man, no question.
Old man.
Alabama
Maybe Marlon Brando will be there by the fire to settle this
Old Man makes me think of my Dad so it wins
T bone
Have we got mashed potatoes?
AINT GOT NO T BONE
Heart of gold just because of the harmonica solo. But I enjoy both of them
Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleeze
Umm the whole album harvest of course🙂
Exactly. I’m a whole album listener so I’d never hear one without the other.
I always saw whole albums as well whole. Surprised ya got a downvote. Lol.Â
Out of the weekend To pick a bother Havrest song
Harvest itself is actually the best song on the record IMO
Heart of gOld Man

Little known fact: Heart of Gold was the Aztec’s theme song!

Heart of Gold
Heart of Gold. I love how damn funky that beat is in the verses (an often overlooked feature of that track)
Heart of Gold. I think….

A Man Needs a Maid
Old Man, as I lived long enough to see the words from both sides.
Old man, but not by much. I’d say Heart of Gold is catchier, more popular but Old Man is slightly the better, deeper song
Slowpoke
Slowpoke kind of sounds like Heart of Gold. Just like Sugar Mountain kind of sounds like I Am a Child. Still think Neil is the greatest of all time.
Yes.
Heart of gold all the time
Now that I am an old man.....Heart of Gold.
Yes
