Overall: 8.

Sometimes a 10 as a writer. Often a 6 as a singer.

For a career: 10+.

I was never really a fan, but he sure wrote a lot of hits.

I had an unusual experience with Neil Diamond in my youth. My mother dropped me off in downtown York PA every friday when she went to buy groceries and magazines for our general store/gas station/sporting goods store. so I would hit all the rotation of stores that sold records. Bon Ton to McCrorys to Woolworths to Murphy Mart. At Woolworths they had a big bin of really cheapy cutout 45s, 3 for a dollar, so every Friday I'd take home 3 of them. and in that cutout bin, for whatever reason, half of them were Neil Diamond 45s. So one week I bought one, just to see, and I liked it, so I bought another the next week, and the next week, and the next week, and they all, every single one of them were great songs.

This was the first one I bought. Tarentino eventually used it in one of his movies years later.

I should've started with this one, it's his first single that went on to be iconic, though it flopped at the time, wasn't a hit at all.

Been a fan for years, saw him once. Excellent performance, tons of energy despite a very long gig.

10 in my book.

This is the song where I first noticed he can rock, too. (He also wrote the Monkees' I'm A Believer in his Brill Building Days).
