** Special credit to [[The Movie]] ''Year Of The Horse'', where thanks to some [[Age Cut|creative editing]] by [[Jim Jarmusch]], "Like A Hurricane" stretches out over [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfqwIsfK24U 20 years].

** Also lampshaded on the [[Live Album]] ''Year Of The Horse'' (not [[Name's the Same|quite]] the same):

'''Neil:''' It's all one song! }}

** Several tracks on his studio albums invoke this trope as well. For example, the essentially live-in-the-studio album ''Ragged Glory'' has two tracks that exceed ten minutes ("Love to Burn" and "Love and Only Love"), ''Sleeps with Angels'' has the nearly-fifteen-minute "Change Your Mind", and ''Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere'' has "Down by the River" (9:13) and "Cowgirl in the Sand" (10:06).

* [[Something Blues]] - "Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues," all from the 1974 album ''On the Beach''.

* [[Something Completely Different]] - Neil explained his [[Genre Roulette]] experiments post-''Harvest'' to a ''NME'' reporter by saying:

* [[Song of Song Titles]] - [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]]'s "Sweet Home Alabama" contains many references to Young's songs "Alabama" and "Southern Man," mostly in the form of a [[Take That]].

** Not as much as you might think. Lynyrd Skynyrd were fans of (and later friends with) Neil Young, and he even offered them a couple of his now classic songs ("Sail Away" and "Powderfinger") but the plane crash happened before they could take him up on the offer. Similarly squashed was a plan for Young to appear with the band during a show on the Street Survivors tour to play guitar on "Sweet Home Alabama" and sing the line "a southern man don't need me 'round anyhow".
