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?

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.
I just rediscovered "No Guru, No Method, No Teacher" Track #2 "Oh The Warm Feeling" is my favorite song right now. I highly recommend it.
i'll try to borrow that album from my friend. thanks for the directions on this path.
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.
