1. Astral Weeks, Moondance, and St. Dominic's Preview. |
|
I can't stand the song "Moondance" but that album is fanfriggintastic. I like Astral Weeks better than that. SDP is a sentimental favorite.
There are so many good Van songs, it's hard to narrow it down.

9. Well, my first experience with it was on jukeboxes at the bar, LOL.... |
|
So a bunch of drunk frat boys yelling unintelligably to Van isn't the best intro, LOL. It is fun to sing...I dunno, it's kind of overplayed or something. :shrug:
I always apologize to Van when I skip the track on cd!

5. Any already listed, and... |
|
He doesn't have any bad albums, but for others from the cream of them:
"Tupelo Honey"
"Into The Music"
"Poetic Champions Compose"
"Enlightenment"
"Hymns To The Silence"
And "The Philosopher's Stone"
and get his mid-60's Them albums.
...and his collaboration with the Chieftains, "Irish Heartbeat".

6. Hymns to the Silence... |

I like the title track, especially, on Moondance.

10. On a slightly off-beat note |
|
"Irish Heartbeat" with the Chieftains is really magical. He manifests a level of soul there that one might not expect.
