After a two-year boycott, Neil Young has returned his music to Spotify. In January 2022, Young demanded that the platform remove his music due to “fake information” regarding the spread of COVID-19 vaccinations on The Joe Rogan Experience. Now that Rogan’s podcast is on additional platforms, Young says fans can stream his music on Spotify again.
Neil Young had posted this: “Spotify, the # 1 streamer of low res music in the world. Spotify where you get less quality than we made, will now be home of my music again.”
Before pulling his music, he had complained as early as 2015 about the low quality of streaming audio.
