Van Morrison is awesome.

[Shell Beau]

That is all.

[gimama]

1. O, YES..he IS Van the MAN!

awwwsome is RIGHT!

[elshiva]

:loveya: :loveya:

6. Tough call, but St . Dominic's Preview just might be my all time favorite album by Van the Man

(unless it's Astral Weeks)...... coincidentally was having a conversation just last night, about the only time I ever saw him in person. 1975 ( Yeah I'm OLD --) with Little Feat opening. Amazing show...

[RagAss]

16. yes...St. Dom's ... my fav too.... "Redwood Tree" and the title track.

[Shell Beau]

17. My fave is Moondance! Every single song on that

cd is AWESOME!

[Zomby Woof]

3. Yes

So very true.

Incapable of a bad album it seems.

He keeps a tight lid on copyrights, so VM clips on Youtube are hard to come by. I've tried, believe me.

[Shell Beau]

10. No joke. Every one I came across was a stupid cover.

I'll just have to put my CD in the player tonight. I can't think of one song of his that I don't like. He is butter.

[Debi]

4. Oh I SO agree!!!

I was in a funk for a while and Van Morrison helped me out of it (Dave and Matt are getting a little sick of it but who are they anyway????)

[gimama]

5. I agree..sweeet Medicine!

Avalon Sunset got me through some very dark years..
Lots of Wisdom & Comfort in those songs..
& then some made me dance, despite my sadness & fear.
Somehow, I KNEW I'd get thru it, listening to This Old Soul.

14. If they are getting sick of Van, you need to boot them.

Who cares if they are your family. Van is Van!!!!! I mean, you'd boot them if they banned you from your Robert-poo, huh?

7. "... stoned me just like coming home"

I saw him in Edinburgh in '79, closing set was with the Chieftains. Bliss. Talking Heads were on the same bill - double bliss. Astral Weeks is my all-time favourite, wish I'd been able to see him perform it live a couple of years ago. If anything was the soundtrack of my youth, it was that album. It always brings me undone, it floods me with sweet melancholy. I want the title track played at my funeral ... "Lay me down, in silence easy ..." (I'll skip the "to be born again" though - once was quite enough.)

8. Van + J. Lee Hooker on Never Get Out of these Blues Alive is one of the awesomest awesome things

Not gonna waste time looking for a link.

My copy is on a Best of John Lee Hooker CD, which is something everyone should own.

[Shell Beau]

11. Didn't even know that was out there. I will have to get that.

Thanks for the info.

[hippywife]

9. Most definitely.

I cannot disagree. :D

[PRETZEL]

12. Whenever I need quiet time,

Tupelo Honey immediately gets put on.

Quite easily my most favorite of favorites Van Morrison song.

[Shell Beau]

13. Great song. I go through phases as to which is my fave.

Into the Mystic always is one for sure.

[PRETZEL]

15. Another great one,

that'll be a good earworm for the rest of the day,

Thanks.

18. Have I Told You Lately That I Love You...

will be my first dance at my wedding....and is a saved text message for my man...

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

19. Yes he is!

eom

[redqueen]

20. I can't find Into the Mystic, either.

Love that song.

[Shell Beau]

21. Hard to find his songs on youtube where he is the one singing them.

x(

I'll just plug up the I-touch when I get home and jam to him then!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. I was on my daily "stress walk" a couple of days ago and outta nowhere started singing "Moondance."

I'd have to say that "Moondance" is my favorite, followed by a tie of "St. Dominic's Preview" and "Listen To The Lion," but I have an appreciation for pretty much everything he's done.

Then, of course, there's also "Mystic Eyes"...

Caravan is a goodie!!


Mystic Eyes is pretty good too. They are ALL good!
