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?

'Caravan' is on Moondance. Coincidentally, I was going to suggest Moondance as perhaps the most accessible album for a Van newbie; I love too many of them to suggest one as the best sounding. Although, I do think the recent 'What's Wrong With This Picture' is up there amongst the best recorded, best engineered...it's the one I take to audition new equipment...
First Them album. His heart's in the right place, but I can't tolerate his voice at all anymore.
my van-idiot just loaned me a bootleg from a 97 or 98 show in germany. there's a song, "vanlose stairway" where van seems to go off into a groove/trance. where can i find more of that?
