Appreciate the votes for the first Neil album. In my view, there's not a real bad Neil album... but I personally love On the Beach. Not a chart topper, for sure, but there's some songs that speak to me...On the Beach, Ambulance Blues, Walk On, See The Sky About to Rain, Motion Pictures. Hence, my list.
