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?

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?
p.s. If 'Vanlose Stairway' appeals to you, you will likely enjoy not only the rest of the 'Beautiful Vision' album; but check out the 'No Master, No Guru, No Method' album for material of similar appeal. Also the long cut 'When the Heart is Open' from the 'Common Ground' album.
thanks for all your responses. this is better than gooogle!
i listened to the san francisco live album last night. it seems van and john lee had a special bond. i'm not sure you can call it scat but they seem to love to lock onto one syllable and ride that far all it's worth. i love that!
Correction. The album name in my post above should read
'Common One', not Common Ground.
