In an illustrious career spanning more than 4 decades, Neil diamond has recorded over 40 albums, and recorded over 100 songs that he has written. He is still going strong and it seems that he is like wine - getting better the older he gets! These are my 5 best albums of Neil.
Hot August Night was recorded live at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on 24 August 1972. There are 25 tracks and all the songs were written by Neil Diamond.
This was a follow-up on Hot August Night and was also a live performance. There are 20 songs on this album but not all of them were written by Neil diamond.
In 1973 Neil Diamond recorded the soundtrack to the film Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The album grossed more than the film itself. There are 14 tracks on the album and it was his first album after his successful 1972 release of Hot August Night.
Love at the Greek was released in 1977 and although less kinetic and exciting than the previous double-live album Hot August Night, Love at the Greek is Diamond at the peak of his powers as a showman. There are 15 tracks on this album.
Just to show his critics, and unfortunately there are a few of them, he deviated from his routine and in 1992 he brought out his Christmas Album. There are 14 tracks on this album.
