Prefer his smoother tracks like moon dance and crazy love. Lots of good songs on here, great album overall, but those soft tracks are the dealer sealer.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah that's a weak one. I'm surprised it has as many/more ratings than Veedon Fleece and Into the Music.

Van Morrison is cool. My honest is not my thing. Bob Seger, in the other hand, is my hero!

Album Rating: 5.0

I feel this goes against popular opinion, but after many listens of both I might slightly prefer this to Astral Weeks/also I might 5 this

Album Rating: 4.0

I definitely prefer this to Astral Weeks. I actually think Veedon Fleece does what Astral Weeks is aiming for better.

Album Rating: 5.0

Oh I love Astral Weeks still



Tbh Van Morrison definitely deserves all the acclaim he gets. Like Tupelo Honey rules too



Haven’t gotten past Tupelo though

Album Rating: 4.0

I think Astral Weeks is good but overrated; my faves are Veedon Fleece, St Dominic's preview and Into the Music.

Album Rating: 5.0

Damn I've heard none of those lol



Moondance - 5

Astral Weeks - 4.5

Tupelo Honey - 4

His Band and the Street Choir - 3.5

Blowin' Your Mind - 3



Needless to say I'm defintely getting around to his other 70s stuff eventually

Album Rating: 4.0

8 out 11 albums that are worth repeat listens is pretty strong going in my opinion, and Blowin' your Mind is also pretty good.

Album Rating: 5.0

I found Street Choir kind of disappointing



So much feels like it’s off the heels of Moondance but safer

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah I like Van in full soul swing and there's lots of really soulful tracks on Choir

Album Rating: 5.0

My faves on there are Blue Money and Street Choir

Album Rating: 4.0

I can't wait until you get to Fleece holy shit that album is fucking gorgeous

Album Rating: 5.0

And the caravan is painted red and white

That means ev'rybody's staying overnight

"I definitely prefer this to Astral Weeks"



damn

this feels so slight and inconsequential compared to astral weeks, theyre barely in the same universe for me. probably part of the reason why i didnt like this very much for a long time. ive come to appreciate it in its own right

Album Rating: 5.0

Idk about definitely but I prefer this to Astral, no weak tracks all jams

Album Rating: 5.0

Man, It Stoned Me has been really hitting lately

No energy to it, just boring good pop hits. Astral Weeks for boomers.

Album Rating: 5.0

Astral Weeks is also for boomers and I don’t just mean because it came out in 1968



Van Morrison in general is boomer as fuck
