van morrison's best sounding album?


a friend is a van idiot and insists i need to listen to more morrison. but when i ask her where to start she can't pick between any of his gazillion recordings. any ideas?

I like Moondance and St Dominick's Preview the best. I agree with Panderso - Moondance is the most accessible. I also like Avalon Sunset (except for the first track) . . . and I think it's the best produced of the albums I'm familiar with. I'm personally not that fond of the Chieftan's album.
Panderso,

I just bought "What's Wrong with this Picture" based upon your rave. Man, what a great album! Thanks for mentioning it.

All the best,

Howard
Try John Lee Hooker's 'Mr. Lucky' cd; the duet with Van on the 'I Cover the Waterfront' track. Another tasty collaboration on BB King's 'Dueces Wild' CD from 1997. BB's guitar, Van's vocals on the 'If You Love Me' track. Other terrific guest appearances on that BB album; Tracy Chapman, Eric Clapton,...(Tda44 these suggestions 'cause you liked Van and John Lee on the 'frisco live album) (Most welcome Boa2)
