VAN MORRISON fans +THEM

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I think he could sell a true "Greatest Hits" album. He's got one or two, but they have some dogs and fillers. I think this is my top 15 songs of his that I know of, and would be a kickas* CD if released:

Brown eyed girl
Ballerina
Here Comes the night
Gloria
Mystic Eyes
Madam George
Jackie Wilson Said
Moondance
Tupelo Honey
Moonshine Whiskey
Wild Night
Domino
Into the Mystic
Blue Money
Baby Please Don't Go

I don't get it. What does Van Morrison have to do with giant ants?

So, your top 5 or so songs by the Giant Ants?

[SoonerProphet]

I might add Glad Tidings and And It Stoned Me.

[Poli Sci]

Caravan would have to be included on any Van Morrison greatest hits CD.

[Leroy Lizard]

So, your top 5 or so songs by the Giant Ants?

Okay, I'll fill him in.

"Them" was a movie about giant ants. It is a very famous movie. And a great one.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Caravan would have to be included on any Van Morrison greatest hits CD.I don't know that one. Will have to check it out.

[King Crimson]

the chorus of Blue Money sounds kinda like the Sesame Street theme song to me.

Jackie Wilson Said is a good one. good list. i'd probably tack one of the longer-form cuts from Astral Weeks at the end with Sweet Thing instead of Madame G in your version. let's say the title cut, Astral Weeks. so as not to break up the flow of this Greatest Hits. and maybe the version of Caravan with the Band from the Last Waltz.

he made that record with the Chieftans that was pretty popular, maybe you have to throw a bone there....for the Irish renaissance peeps.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Thanks. A friend recently returned from a vacation in Ireland. Said the economy has bee hit hard over there, too, as expected. The renaissance will have to be reborn, I guess.

O...K...

[King Crimson]

For you, what are his 5 best?

dunno. best? more personal faves.

1. astral weeks (first time i heard that LP/opening track it made quite an impression....i'd had Moondance and knew i was expecting something different and...unlike a lot of other "more experimental LPs" from classic rock-type artists it had the goods).

no order:

Domino
Jackie Wilson
And it Stoned Me (another great opener)/or maybe Sweet Thing but I'm a Astral Weeks honk
into the mystic.

Agree on Into the Mystic. Prolly the other 4 for me would be:
Tupelo honey
Moondance
Ballerina
Brown Eyed Girl(although, I have heard it a few too many times, probably)

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Listened to Caravan. I remembered it, and it's good. Still not in my top 15.
