    I simply love all Neil Diamonds songs because whatever he sings he puts his heart and soul into it. He also makes his audience happy by asking them to sing along with him which in turn makes him happy. He sings every song with such emotion, also he has such wonderful rhythm. He is also a wonderful song writer. Thankyou Neil for sharing your music with the world. I know you are not well so please take care.

    The Serenade album, while short in length, has some gorgeous songs: “I’ve Been this Way Before,” “Lady Magdalene,” “Longfellow Serenade” and “The Gift of Song” all reveal his lush writing and arrangements.

    Been a life-long fan since I first heard 'Cherry Cherry' and 'Red Rubber Ball' and started my collection when I served in Germany with the UK Armed Forces during the Cold War. I have an extensive collection but a favourite is Three Chord Opera and the songs'(You are) My Special Someone' and 'Leave a Little Room for God'.

    Stones is one of his most beautiful songs, also If you know what I mean, perfect! Also The last thing on my mind, not written by Neil but the best version I have ever heard, his voice is outstanding and the arrangement beautiful

    • @tobyjonesmusic
      @tobyjonesmusic  4 роки тому +1

      Excellent tracks! It's very tricky to get it down to 10, so believe me those two were in the discussion. I think Brooklyn Roads has to be in my top 5 Neil Diamond tracks

  • @josephnield
    @josephnield 2 роки тому +1

    An admirable effort, although I can't possibly narrow down the list to 10. I can agree, however, that Diamond is criminally underrated despite the accolades that have finally come his way with the 21st century revival of his place in the popular zeitgeist.
    I do worry that he may be ultimately remembered far too shallowly, only for the admittedly fantastic Sweet Caroline, rather than the decades long catalog of evocative lyrics and lush, gorgeous instrumentation.

    Please listen to, “If I Don’t See You Again”; it’s bittersweet. There aren’t adjectives to do Neil Diamond’s talents justice, an ‘XY’ comparable to no other.

    I totally agree with your sentiment, that neil diamond is the most underrated artist (i would say songwriter, not artist), ive been thinking this for years. He is never considered by the “serious music fans” as being a great, i guess mainly because the casual fan only really knows him from his cheesy pop persona, primarily the karaoke singalong favourite sweet caroline, most “serious music fans” have already switched off at the mere mention of that , and i can understand why, to some extent you could argue he has become a “victim” of the success of that song (not sure if victim is the right word, but you know what i mean!). I would honestly make a case for him being considered in songwriting terms as up there with lennon and mccartney, dylan and the other greats. I know a lot of people would disagree , but i would certainly make a very good case for it. However, i would have chosen a very different list, i feel some of your choices would only serve to enforce the casual listeners stereotype opinion of him. September morn, hooked on the memory of you, play me, while great songs, youve already pidgeon-holed him right there in the easy listening bin with the inclusion of those, he already gets lampooned by many for the lyrics of i am i said. If you go away is an interesting choice, but i dont think it would make my list as it wasnt written by him, and i think he has done better cover versions (eg the last thing on my mind, make you feel my love, god only knows). Red red wine, morningside, and the grass wont pay no mind, holly holy, brother love would definitely deserve strong consideration. Lordy, the gift of song, if you know what i mean, dry your eyes , and after much deliberation, i THINK deep in the morning, would have been included on my list !

    Oh, my goodness. If I had to list the top 100, maybe I could settle on that. Ten? No way! But I think I would try to find a way to include "Midnight Dream", "I Haven't Played That Song in Years", and "Another Day That Time Forgot".
