| - | '''Neil Percival Young''' (born [[November 12]], [[1945]]) is a Canadian [[singer-songwriter]], [[guitarist]], and [[film director]]. Although Young has experimented widely with differing music styles, including [[swing music|swing]], [[jazz]], [[rockabilly]], [[blues]], and [[electronic music]] throughout a varied career, his best known work usually falls into either of two distinct styles: [[folk rock|folk]]-esque [[Acoustic music|acoustic]] [[rock music|rock]] ("[[Heart of Gold (song)|Heart of Gold]]", "Harvest Moon" and "[[Old Man (song)|Old Man]]") and [[electric guitar|electric]]-charged [[hard rock]] (like "[[Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young song)|Cinnamon Girl]]", "[[Rockin' in the Free World]]" and "[[Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)]]"). In recent years, Young has adopted elements from newer styles like [[Industrial music|industrial]], [[alternative country]] and [[Grunge music|grunge]].
