Funny...for YEARS this was how I felt about Neil Young, then I had some kinda 
"awakening" (or was it brainwashing?) when "Comes A Time" was released.  
Oddly, Gram Parson's "voice" never irritated me, but, on a quality level 
really isn't all that good.  And while we're goin' down that road....Emmylou 
on lead these days isn't all that appealing, yet as backup/harmony is quite 
nice.

my two cents,
