help Neil Young – Decade FAQ

What period of Neil Young’s career does Decade cover?

Decade surveys recordings from roughly Neil Young’s first decade, including Buffalo Springfield, his solo work, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Reprise Records released the compilation in 1977 as a triple album.

Which essential Neil Young songs are included on Decade?

The set includes major songs such as “After the Gold Rush,” “Heart of Gold,” “The Needle and the Damage Done,” and “Down by the River.” It also reaches back to Buffalo Springfield material, making it broader than a solo-only collection.

Why is Decade a triple album instead of a single greatest-hits record?

Young’s early catalog covered several groups, solo albums, and changing musical styles, so the compilation spans far more than a standard singles package. Its three-record format lets it include both well-known hits and important album tracks from the 1960s and 1970s.

Was Decade released during Neil Young’s original recording career?

Yes. Decade appeared in 1977, while Young was still actively releasing new albums, rather than being a posthumous career retrospective. The collection ends around the mid-1970s and includes material from his work with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
