Not much depth for me. Sounds like you have not heard much of Van's stuff, some of his may sound a bit commercial like Brown Eyed Girl but some of his material is pretty inaccessible. His first Album Astral Weeks is hardly commercial. I agree about Coldplay etc. But Van is different a bit like Neil Young in many ways. [ Reply ]

DD rabbi_phil Oct 26, 2012 - 09:42	ya'll are both correct. the beatles did begin breaking up in late 68 and early 69. lots of infighting and walkouts on sessions...the very reason clapton had to come in and shore up harrisons absence on "weeps'.it really just disintegrated from there.it was mcartney who made it 'official by him' in70. awesome musicians with egos to match i know all this because secretly i am the 'eighth beatle'...( who am i to let the truth stand in the way of a good story!)

I was 23 when this DYNAMIC ODE TO BEING YOUNG AND HIP AND IN THE MIDST OF YOUR MILIEU was released. It's been one of my all-time favs ever since, not just of Van Morrison tunes, but of all music from the DAYS OF THE GREATS (there were GIANTS in those days). I gave it a nine, you brain dead children. [ Reply ]

Sasha2001 Sep 24, 2012 - 14:34	Substitute Van's voice for Bruce's and this easily could have been a song off of "Greetings..." [ Reply ]
RKeaton Aug 24, 2012 - 10:50	I'm a Vanophile, and this was one of the first handful of albums of his that I soaked up. But it's way, way at the bottom of my Van playlist. Just don't dig the dated sound and feel of it all. He's done so much better, before and since. [ Reply ]

It's true you know. Men don't give a damn about high heels and all that fashionista stuff that hobbles women. Yeeeeeeah, we want them nude... hu? Agree, song has great lyrics. But why did you want to consult that with your wife, your sister or your workmate (woman)? [ Reply ]
idiot_wind Jun 22, 2012 - 06:07	It's an 11 It is the greatest rock no roll song ever. Van's voice. The lyrics on wild nights, girls, music, boogie woogie. The guitar work. The horn section. You can dance to it. You can sing along. You can get romantic. The perfect r n r song ever. [ Reply ]
