Best Neil Young Album?

This may belong on one of the Neil Young's fan web sites but with the critical success of Greendale (his best effort in the last 20 years IMO) what is your favorite Neil Young album? Mine is probably Hawks and Doves with Zuma a close second.

Tie between 'After The Goldrush' & 'Rust Never Sleeps'.
Followed by 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere', 'Tonight's The Night', 'Comes A Time', 'Ragged Glory', 'On The Beach','Zuma', 'Freedom', 'Sleeps With Angels' & 'Harvest'.

At least that's my pecking order.

Kind of suprised by the popularity of 'Hawks & Doves'. I enjoy the side of old songs that never made it on previous ablums (except maybe the silly voices on 'Lost in Space') but the side with 'Union Man' was the beginning of his '80s slide for me. 'Trans' is worth owning just for 'Like an Inca', probably his best song between 'Rust Never Sleeps' & 'Freedom'.
