What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Very nice to hear from another Van Morrison fan and of those albums specifically.

I have a lot of VM music but do find myself coming back frequently to those 3... especially No Guru.  

@ghosthouse Guru is also my personal favorite which has been on regular rotation since 86’ when it was released.  Veedon Fleece is a close second along with Astral Weeks, Moondance, Saint Dominic’s Preview and Poetic Champions. Being extremely prolific, I also have lots of Van in my collection from his later years. Unfortunately, I feel that none of his more recent releases come close to matching his prime output from the 70s and 80s.

More Bob Dylan

Hello again.  Glad to continue a conversation about Van Morrison's music.  While I know Astral Weeks is well-regarded, that one never really caught on for me.  Always found it a challenging "listen" that I didn't connect with.  St. Dominic's Preview a little bit more accessible (Almost Independence Day) than Weeks but not a favorite.  It has been quite a while since I tried either so I should go back and revisit...see if my hearing has improved ;-)

Another that does bear mentioning for frequent listening: Back on Top (and in particular, The Philosopher's Stone).  

Haven't kept up with most of Van's output in the 2000s.  Last things I bought some time ago were Keep it Simple (like that one a lot) and Born to Sing: No Plan B (don't think I've listened to all of it yet).

That's it for now though there are plenty other gems to discuss.

Best regards,

Ciao
