Aside from "Old Man" which is about a 9/10 on the whinnyness scale (extra pts. for the extra backup vocals during the chorus), most of Neil Young's songs effin' rock. I like the Crazy Horse stuff the best, I always believed a guitar solo built on anger beats any virtuoso Page/Waters/Townshend esque performance. Mind you, Neil's acoustic work, in its austere vulnerability, works just as well.
"Look Out For My Love" bridges the gap, so have yourself a wee old listen. It has some mean electric guitar slashes, but they are kind of pushed to the fringe - the acoustic is the real breadwinner here.
