Speed metal, mostly. He was friends with the Seattle grunge contingent (Pearl Jam, Soundgarten, etc). He is highly respected, though he never got the Big Break. Brilliant guy. He once told me he envies my generation for its anthems. He said we have dozens. By some counts, many dozens. His generation has approximately none, unless you count Running With the Devil. Yes, we have your anthems. Several by Neil. And in those, his voice is ESSENTIAL to the song. When was the last time you heard someone try to cover a Neil Young song?
Pearl Jam covers his work all the time Sup...but you don't like Eddie Vedder's voice, do you?
