Dear Sanjuro, I can't agree with you about the 883. In 1993 I was 16: in my class everyone was listening to "sei un mito", while I was the nerd with long hair listening to Nevermind. It doesn't really seem like a marginalized adolescence as depicted by the 883. Still, great memories!
There’s not much to say about Mould: he was an extraordinary artist. His lyrics may not be of "accademia della crusca" standard, but they are impressionistic snapshots. In particular, a song like "these important years" is splendid. Then again, as Sfascia Carrozze says, de gustibus. Personal experiences always count.
You're 100% right when you talk about the Wipers. If Cobain hadn't mentioned them as an influence, Greg would be completely forgotten. The fact that he is so underrated is an injustice.

a step below zen arcade and warehouse, but definitely excellent.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Rust Never Sleeps

Yes, in fact I included many quotes from the text. Perhaps too many. However, the lyrics in this album are extremely important, and in the end, I couldn’t help myself. It would have required a separate "literary" review. In the 90s, Neil did some excellent things, even if just a notch below the albums from his golden period, particularly "on the beach" and "rust." However, "Weld" is probably his best live album ever.

By the way, I recently managed to find the video of the CSNY concert at Wembley in 1974: simply magnificent!

Alright, then write a nice review of the first album; I think I’ll write something on 4 Way Street!
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Déjà Vu
Voto:
There’s not much to say about the album. Perhaps it’s more significant for its historical value than for its intrinsic worth, but it’s so captivating that you can’t help but consider it a masterpiece. "Helpless," for example, is a very straightforward piece. Yet the touching lyrics and those mind-blowing vocal harmonies make it impossible to get out of your head.

No one had yet taken the trouble to review this masterpiece, and you did it quite well. I'm glad not to be the only one dealing with the West Coast myths on this site. Just a couple of notes. In your account, you overlook that Crosby, Stills and Nash had made an album before Déjà vu: self-titled, in 1969. Even though Neil wasn't there yet. And it wasn’t just any album, as it included some of the most famous songs in the American counterculture of those years, particularly "Long Time Gone," dedicated to the assassination of Robert Kennedy. And when they performed at Woodstock, the set was mostly composed of songs from that album!

Well, the opinion on post-rock is obviously very personal. Listening to this album gave me emotions that bands like Mogwai or Tortoise have denied me with their latest works. Anyway, I admit I'm a bit biased towards the Belgians! Regarding Irish folk, if you listen to the last track, after 3 minutes of noise collage, you'll see this reference come out.
