[edit] Deserves own article?

I added some details here, but i am not sure it actually deserves it's own article. -- Beardo 03:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It is a very famous song in Europe...

  • For years it has been in Belgium's 100 best songs ever. See here.
  • In the Netherlands, it is the most appreciated Young song (Search for "neil young" here, you'll see that every year it is around #100 of the best songs EVER.)
  • For Germany, see this website.
  • In England, it is highly appreciated, see here and search for "like a hurricane".

I see many Neil Young songs on Wikipedia having its own article, and I see few of them so appreciated in Europe... If the other songs deserve their own article, "like a hurricane" definitely deserves its own article. Pie.er 10:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Let's get some of this information into the article. -- Beardo 12:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately this is almost all I know of this song... Strange that Google knows so little of such a good song. I hope some Neil Young-fan with more information can enlarge the internet knowledge of this song... Pie.er 12:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

" The song was written in July 1975, when Neil Young was unable to sing due to an operation on his vocal cords after a cocaine-fueled night with friend and La Honda neighbor Taylor Phelps in the back of his car, a DeSoto Suburban.

[edit] Roxy Music

Did they play it live a lot, or is it just a quirk that it's on two live albums of theirs ? -- Beardo 12:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Single or not

This has been added to the category 1977 singles yet the text says it was not released as a single. Can't be both. -- Beardo 01:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

See the link I added in the article: apparently it has been released as a single. --Pie.er 07:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
