> Van Morrison - sorry I still can't take to him Thanks for putting that list together, Fred...after 5+ years here I didn't see any great revelations, but still an interesting exercise. In regards to your comment about Van, he's a real hit & miss as far as I'm concerned. My buddy Boston Jim has helped me appreciate his career span, but there's one record of his that I just don't get at all, Astral Weeks. This one shows up all the time on "Best rock records of all time" lists, and I have no idea why? It's always been dull and overly spacy, anti-melodic & anti-rhythmic to my ears. "Moondance" remains the classic Van as far as I'm concerned. If there's anyone out there who agrees with the assertion that Astral Weeks is some kind of masterpiece, I'd love to know why you think that way. Bob NP: Jane's Addiction, "Classic Girl"
