Released: 1990
Ragged Glory
The 2028th greatest album of all time
Ragged Glory, released in 1990, reunites Neil Young with Crazy Horse for a raw, loud album built around extended, feedback-laced guitar jams and distorted, live studio energy. The record emphasizes thick, droning riffs, loose rhythmic interplay, and long, improvised-feeling performances that foreground electric guitar texture over polished production. Its rough-edged sound and heavy approach aligned Young with the early 1990s rock and grunge moment while revisiting the gritty Crazy Horse aesthetic from earlier collaborations.
