Where Neil could have been better

I'm not sure it is all his fault. The record company may have had a lot to do with it. Neil has done WAY WAY WAY too many slow love songs with big instrumentals, and too much melodrama.

There are styles that Neil messed with a bit at times that seemed to fit him well. He didn't write it but the anthem type songs like "Mothers and Daughters Fathers and Sons" made Neil sound fresh.

Also the simple guitar orientated love songs work well.
