I second that Neil Young's Geffen years are overly-harshly judged. I even kind of like 'Landing on Water'. And I actually really enjoy 'Trans'.
His recent output sometimes gets a bit of an unfair kicking as well. Sure, 'Road Rocks' and 'Are You Passionate?' basically sucked (though the latter did have one of his best-ever tracks in "Goin' Home"), but albums like 'Silver & Gold', 'Greendale', 'Broken Arrow' and above all 'Year of the Horse' deserve more praise than they get.
I also like Bowie's 'Stage' live album.
