Favorite Van Morrison Song?

[Radical Activist]

Tonight is Van Morrison night at my place. I figured it has probably been a while since we had a VM poll.

For years I avoided his albums because all I ever heard was Brown Eyed Girl played over and over again on oldies stations. It took a while before I realized what a great songwriter he is and how much depth is in much of his music.

Sweet Thing and Into the Mystic are my favorites so they make the poll.

1. Moondance was the first LP I ever bought, and I bought it when I was

9 or 10 at the five and dime for maybe $4. But Gloria has since become my favorite VM song.

[Rambis]

17. Crazy Love

Great tune- anything on A-Weeks too-

2. Madam George ...

... which reminds me, haven't played "Astral Weeks" for ages ...

The Skin

3. With all good music Van Morrison has put out

over the last 35 years it's impossible to narrow it down to one song.

4. Blue Money from "Street Choir"

Anybody remember that one?

Edit: Forgot about "Tupelo Honey" also!

[mac56]

14. Oh yeah.

It actually got some AM radio airplay as I recall, in the wake of "Wild Night" and "Domino". Those were the days.

[Zenlitened]

24. Tupelo Honey, definitely.

5. tough call

Madame George springs first to mind, but I'll say Come Here My Love from the Veedon Fleece album, because it's my favourite melancholic singin'-in-the-shower tune.

[WoodrowFan]

6. Moondance

it's what Mrs WF and I danced to at our wedding...

[Spirochete]

7. Baby Please Don't Go

and Here Comes the Night.

I also like Wavelength pretty well.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

8. Tupelo Honey

It's one of those "I'll-drive-around-the-block-on-the-way-home-from-work-if-it's-playing-on-the-radio" songs

[Zenaholic]

9. Bright Side of The Road (n/t)

[mac56]

10. "And It Stoned Me"

Just like Jelly Roll.

Oh, the water...

[fishwax]

11. Into the Mystic

Has long been one of my favorite songs by anyone, so I can't imagine voting for anything else.

But most of my Van listening in the last year or two has been the album Veedon Fleece, so if I had to pick a 2nd favorite it would probably be "Linden Arden Stole the Highlights."

12. Other: Tupelo Honey!

So sweet.

[MissMillie]

13. Someone Like You

It's a fabulous song. It's even been covered (and covered well) by Shawn Colvin.

15. Astral Weeks

by far my favorite song on my favorite album by Van Morrison

on edit: i can spell, really i can.

20. This thread dropped like a stone when I posted it

What happened? I knew we had at least a few fans around.

[Ron Green]

21. Caravan: Check out Van's performance in "The Last Waltz." It so kicks ass

[redqueen]

22. Into the Mystic

There are others I love, but that one is tops for sure.
