If you have set-up Spotify as the default music service in the Alexa App>Settings>Music & Podcasts>Default Services, there is no need to include ‘on Spotify’ in the command.  Can you try ‘Alexa, Play Neil Young’ and let us know if that works?  Also, if you ask ‘Alexa, What’s the time’ on your Sonos Move, does that work?  Can you make sure that the Move isn’t in Bluetooth mode?
