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)

Milky WayNeil Young & Crazy Horse16rank/position

Neil Young with Crazy Horse – Milky Way (Official Audio)
Milky WayNeil Young & Crazy Horse

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.

Tired EyesNeil Young17rank/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.
