Over my life I have owned 36 (37 if you add the Live Rust Never Sleeps). With other live and bootleg recordings, I wanted to stick to studio albums. The cult classic category is one where there was a unique time and/or sound that appeals because of that uniqueness and specificity. For those music lovers that haven't heard the first 6 on this list, I highly recommend investigating. All things Neil Young get better with age, so it takes a few listens.
