"Neil Young considers Trans to be his best album"
Please provide a source. This is a surprising claim.
---Actually, I found one right here, sort of: http://www.angelfire.com/ny4/heartofgold/trans.htm -- "Trans was released in December 1982 & is one of Neil's two favourite albums." Still it's not quite true. I'll change this page to reflect that.
I note that says "Neil's two favourite albums (Everybody's Rockin' being the other)." which probably means it is a comment from just after the latter album was released. I am sure that his favourite is generally the one he has just released. In 1995 he said about Everybody's Rockin' "Did people really think I put that out thinking it was the greatest fuckin' thing I'd ever recorded? Obviously I'm aware it's not." - http://www.thrasherswheat.org/tfa/mojointerview1295pt2.htm
So I suspect that Trans isn't up there, either. I'll remove "Nonetheless, Trans is one of Neil Young's favorite albums of those he has made." -- Beardo 07:28, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other tracks
I have seen a copy of Trans with another track listed on the cover - though it wasn't on the album. Any one else know anything ? -- Beardo 06:01, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
OK - found that. -- Beardo 07:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Creation
"Neil Young found that when using a vocoder when communicating to his autistic son he was able to elicit a better response. The emotional power of this experiment shows in the lyrics, particuarly in the track "Transformer Man" with the lines "So many things still yet to do / But we haven't made it yet.""
Is there a verifiable source for this - or is it just speculation ? His son has cerebral palsy, which I don't think is the same as autism, casting doubts on that whole section.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NeilYoung-Trans.jpg
Image:NeilYoung-Trans.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
