Neil Young Popular Song Rankings [2026]

When it comes to Neil Young, many people probably picture folk or acoustic music, but for some, he might bring to mind grunge or heavy, gritty rock.

Drawing from decades of musical experience, he has produced an astonishing variety of sounds.

This time, I’d like to introduce some Neil Young songs that have been frequently listened to since the beginning of this year.

Neil Young Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)

You and MeNeil Young15rank/position

I think many people enjoy acoustic solo performances.

With that in mind, let me introduce “You and Me.” It’s a song by Neil Young, one of the iconic musicians of the rock world.

His light, high tenor vocals will make you relax without even realizing it.

The melody stays within a steady range throughout, making it perfect for winding down, like before going to sleep.

By the way, the lyrics reflect on life, giving the song a deeply resonant flavor—be sure to pay attention to them, too.

As the title, which means the Milky Way, suggests, this is a majestic six-minute ballad imbued with cosmic stillness and beauty.

Released in August as the lead single from the album Colorado, which Neil Young from Canada and Crazy Horse put out in October 2019, the track drew major attention as their first reunion work in seven years.

Recorded at the “Studio in the Clouds” in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, the song features an ethereal guitar solo that seems to echo beneath the starry sky, and poetic lyrics themed around the passage of time and love that resonate deeply.

Listen to it while gazing up at the Milky Way on Tanabata night, and it will overlap with the tale of Orihime and Hikoboshi, making it all the more romantic.

Workin’ ManNeil Young + Promise of the Real17rank/position

This is a socially conscious rock number brimming with boundless energy.

It candidly portrays genetically modified crops and the struggles of farmers, delivering a direct appeal about social issues.

Featured on the album “The Monsanto Years,” it’s marked by the heavy sound born from the collaboration between Neil Young + Promise of the Real.

Released in June 2015, the track reflects Neil Young’s strong commitment to environmental protection.

It’s a song that makes you think about the future of agriculture and food—one you might want to dive into between study sessions.

Recommended for those interested in social issues or anyone who wants to reexamine the world through music.

Tired EyesNeil Young18rank/position

Neil Young is a singer-songwriter from Canada and a well-known artist in Japan.

His appeal, above all, lies in his unique musical style that blends a variety of genres.

Tired Eyes is one of his songs that leans closer to folk and country.

That said, it also features phrases reminiscent of alternative rock, so first-time listeners may find it refreshing.

It’s a gentle, laid-back melody that soothes your fatigue.
