Neil Young Smothered torrent

Not just covered – Neil has been smothered

Been collected covers of Neil Young songs for a while and thought it was about time to share them. There are nearly 1900 covers here, many from live shows.
Covers are organized by Album as much as possible.
I realize that not all of these are strictly Neil Young Songs (i.e., Oh Lonesome Me) and I also included some Buffalo Springfield and CSNY covers.

Some interesting/surprising covers:
The Loner - Three Dog Night
Pocahontas - Johnny Cash
Old Man – Bob Dylan
Like a Hurricane - Adam Sandler
Ohio - Devo
See the Sky About to Rain – The Byrds
Southern Man – Robert Plant
Southern Man - Dave Clark Five

Some observations:
After the Goldrush is the most covered album with 319 covers.
Harvest and Everybody Knows this is Nowhere are about tied for second.
You can kind of chart Neil’s career by the number of covers
The Buffalo Springfield and CSNY era is well covered (188 covers)
