I can't really decide. It might be 'Don't Let It Bring You Down', or 'Broken Arrow' or 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart'

There's one thing that Neil Young does better than almost any songwriter alive: bittersweet. Just that voice, a guitar and his idiosyncratic lyrics can create a unique mood, as seen on songs like:
"The Needle And The Damage Done"
"Birds" - very underrated song, one of the best break-up songs ever recorded, in my opinion
"Tired Eyes"
"Helpless"
"Expecting To Fly"
"Harvest"
Some of his real classics are better live:
"Powderfinger" from Live Rust - messy but still incredible version
"Harvest Moon" from "Unplugged" - overall a poor album, but this was a highlight.

Wow, that's a toughie.
I think I'd plump for I've Been Waiting For You. It's a fantastic sentiment - looking for a woman who knows what it's like to lose - and contains a cracking guitar break from Neil.
I'd also have to say that Cinnamon Girl, The Loner, Like A Hurricane, Out Of The Blue, Heart Of Gold or The World On A String might have made it on another day. The man is a genius. One of the true greats.

Heart of Gold
I remember seeing him play it solo with guitar and harmonica. Classic.
