I Love Neil Diamond!

[Cute Irish Bono]

Who else does?

"Sweeet Caroline" and "Holly Holy."

I can't say I love him, but can say I really enjoy a good handful of his songs.

America
Cracklin' Rosie
I Am ... I Said
Kentucky Woman
Brother Love's Travelin' Salvation Show

There are two kinds of people in this world...those who love Neil Diamond and those who don't.


The Diamond is cool with me.

If I wore panties, I'd throw them onstage.

I remember my parents had the Jazz Singer soundtrack when I was a kid. Still love that stuff even if it's a bit cheesy.

When I got a record player a couple years ago I found all these old ND albums for really cheap. Tap Root Manuscript is one of the better ones, which has Cracklin' Rosie as Cori mentioned above, one of my favs.

Oh yeah.

 

[mad1]

oh yes, and back then and even today the man is very handsome!

Sweet Caroline
Home before Dark
Cherry Baby


but ultimate fav is I Am, I Said
he has a lovely soft voice that seduces you while singing the story.

Hay guyz, iz Neil Diamond Christian??????

 

[corianderstem]

Well, he DID put out a Christmas album .....

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

what's not to love? He almost makes Streisand likeable... almost

 

[Pearl]

I love his new song "Pretty Amazing Grace"

Other than that, he's OK. I like the song he did with Barbara, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore"

I Am, I Said

Play Me

Holly Holy (live) IMO, a lot better than the record

Too bad there aren't more on YouTube, there are a few more I think some of you might like.

Needless to say, my dad used to play him a lot.

neil is the man. with a last name like "diamond" you got to be cool.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Sirius Radio was playing all Neil all the time a while ago on channel 3. It was awesome. Big fan of the man.

 

[zoopop]

Love this performance:

YouTube - Neil Diamond- Dry Your Eyes (With The Band)

 

[Carek1230]

I've never liked the Diamond but he is performing at the San Diego Sports Arena up the street from me.

 

[cobl04]

My Mum LOVES him, and I think he's ok. Feel a bit sorry for him that he seems to get bagged a fair bit, and that he said recently he doesn't have a close friend... got a great voice.

 

[angelordevil]

If I wore panties, I'd throw them onstage.

Oh yeah.

I've found my new look.
