Not sure he counts.
Neil Young - a "mid 70s laid back sophisticated American thingy"?
Good grief.
I'm dealing with absolute and utters.
In all honesty I'd prefer it if you were all otters.
At least then I'd feel bad when I stoved your tiny skulls in with a shovel like in Ring of Bright Water.
As it is...

Well, that's as close as I can get to the Dave Crosby/lite jazz over coked produced Old Grey Whistle Test mid 70s insipid good taste music for grownups as I can go.
Which isn't very far.

Despite their obvious and banal contiguity you could hardly pick three people more musically, lyrically, 'philosophically' incongruous with one another.
Young and Mitchell are the only serious artists there, and in profoundly different ways.
I've loved Neil Young many years longer than Joni Mitchell, but that's definitely as a result of a then ingrained lack of respect for women artists of every stripe driven by my then-dominant peer group.
These are people who I dismiss in every and all ways as an older, wiser and seriously cooler man.
If I saw them any of them in the street now I would both ignore and attack them.
When I embraced Joni Mitchell's oeuvre in the mid '00s it was a revelation.
She's a bona fide genius.
She did "Big Yellow Taxi" and everyone nailed that to her like a nail through the hand on the crucifix.
She's instead brilliant.
Everyone of her albums is gurglingly replete with brilliance - from Song of a Seagull through to Shine*.
*with the exception of those couple of really horrible records her then-husband produced and played on in the '80s**.
**snuggle rumpusing men, basically.
