1	Moondance (1970) more music like this by Van Morrison The yang to Astral Weeks' yin, the brilliant Moondance is every bit as much a classic as its predecessor; Van Morrison's first commercially successful solo effort, it retains the previous album's deeply spiritual thrust but transcends its bleak, cathartic intensity to instead explore themes of renewal and redemption. Light, soulful, and jazzy, ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £6.72!
2	Still on Top: The Greatest Hits (2007) more music like this by Van Morrison There are 21 cuts on this Hip-O collection of Van Morrison's Greatest Hits. The interesting thing is that of these 21 cuts, only about half of them will be recognizable to the casual Van Morrison fan, as they come from his Bang sides and the far more popular Warner Brothers singles of the early '70s. As it should be, although there is one glaring ... see all copies from £7.56! new only from £8.26!
3	Astral Weeks (1968) more music like this by Van Morrison Astral Weeks is generally considered one of the best albums in pop music history. For all that renown, Astral Weeks is anything but an archetypal rock & roll album: in fact, it isn't a rock & roll album at all. Employing a mixture of folk, blues, jazz, and classical music, Van Morrison spins out a series of extended ruminations on his Belfast ... see all copies from £6.15! new only from £7.00!
4	Saint Dominic's Preview (1972) more music like this by Van Morrison While less thematically and sonically cohesive than Van Morrison's prior albums, Saint Dominic's Preview nonetheless hangs together on the strength of its songs, an intriguingly diverse collection which draws together the disparate threads of the singer's recent work into one sterling package. The opener, "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When ... see all copies from £6.01! new only from £8.35!
5	The Best of Van Morrison [Mercury] (1990) more music like this by Van Morrison For an artist who's doggedly album-oriented, plus a songwriter who revels in subtlety, Van Morrison doesn't seem like a logical candidate for a successful greatest-hits compilation. Nevertheless, The Best of Van Morrison is a crackerjack compilation, tracing Van the Man from his days with Them, through his best-known tunes ("Brown-Eyed Girl," ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £5.47!
6	Pay the Devil (2006) more music like this by Van Morrison Pay the Devil, an album-long foray into country music, shouldn't come as a surprise to Van Morrison fans. It's a logical extension of his love affair with American music. Certainly blues, R&B, soul, and jazz have been at the forefront, but one can go all the way back to the Bang years and find "Joe Harper Saturday Morning," or songs on Tupelo ... see all copies from £4.31! new only from £7.75!
7	Inarticulate Speech of the Heart (1983) more music like this by Van Morrison Almost a forgotten album, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart takes listeners to the deepest, most inward areas of Van Morrison's renegade Irish soul, the culmination of his spiritual jazz period and also -- perhaps not coincidentally -- the last record he made for Warner Bros. Four of the 11 tracks are moody instrumentals, which might partly explain ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £8.72!
8	What's Wrong with This Picture? (2003) more music like this by Van Morrison While 2002's Down the Road was the best Van Morrison release in ages -- with its autobiographical allusions, cultural critiques, and new band -- it could not have prepared listeners for the jolt of this, his Blue Note Records debut What's Wrong With This Picture? While the album is hardly a straight jazz record, it does take the territory he ... see all copies from £4.78! new only from £10.25!
9	The Best of Van Morrison, Vol. 3 (2007) more music like this by Van Morrison Van Morrison stopped having hits long before the release of the second volume of The Best of Van Morrison in 1993, so it's not practical to assume that it's double-disc successor -- delivered a whopping 14 years later, compared to the three separating the first two volumes -- has songs that are familiar to a general audience. Nor should it be ... see all copies from £14.60! new only from £14.60!
10	At the Movies: Soundtrack Hits (2007) more music like this by Van Morrison Van Morrison's music has always been evocative of time, place, and a range of emotions, so it's natural that many a film director has chosen his songs for soundtrack purposes. This collection of 19 Morrison recordings that have been placed either prominently or subliminally in films spans his career, from his earliest sides with Them ("Gloria," ... see all copies from £4.09! new only from £7.95!
11 view cover	His Band and the Street Choir (1970) more music like this by Van Morrison After the brilliant one-two punch of Astral Weeks and Moondance, His Band and the Street Choir brings Van Morrison back down to earth, both literally and figuratively. While neither as innovative nor as edgy as its predecessors, His Band and the Street Choir also lacks their overt mysticism; at heart, the album is simply Morrison's valentine to ... see all copies from £5.85! new only from £6.75!
12 view cover	Hard Nose the Highway (1973) more music like this by Van Morrison Although it marks a decline from the astonishing run of five great albums Van Morrison had made from 1968 through 1972, Hard Nose the Highway is still a respectable, if uneven, effort, notably containing "Snow in San Anselmo" (which features the Oakland Symphony Chamber Chorus) and "Warm Love." Nevertheless, it marks the end of Morrison's greatest ... see all copies from £7.52!
13 view cover	Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show (1997) more music like this by Various Artists David Letterman's The Late Show always had a long tradition of excellent musical performances -- indeed, it's one of the few places on American network television where live music thrives -- so the question that surrounds the 1997 release of Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show isn't why, but why did it take so long? There have been enough ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
14 view cover	Michael: Music from the Motion Picture (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The soundtrack to Michael features a few angel-themed hits scattered amongst traditional hits by Don Henley, Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, Al Green, the Mavericks, Van Morrison. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.78! new only from £9.47!
15 view cover	Tupelo Honey (1971) more music like this by Van Morrison Tupelo Honey is typical of Van Morrison's early-'70s work in both sound and structure; after dispensing with the requisite hit -- here, the buoyant, R&B-inflected "Wild Night" -- he truly gets down to business, settling into a luminously pastoral drift typified by the nostalgic "Old Old Woodstock." At the heart of the record are a pair of stunning ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £8.27!
16 view cover	Bang Masters (1991) more music like this by Van Morrison During the period between his departure from Them and his masterpiece Astral Weeks, Van Morrison tenured with Bert Berns' Bang label, notching his biggest solo hit with the classic single "Brown Eyed Girl" and laying the groundwork for the transcendent material to follow. The Bang Masters compiles the best of his recordings for the label, and ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £3.97!
17 view cover	It's Too Late to Stop Now... (1974) more music like this by Van Morrison While Van Morrison is, to be kind, an erratic and temperamental live performer, he's in stellar form throughout the double album It's Too Late to Stop Now, a superb concert set that neatly summarizes his career from his days with Them (represented by scorching renditions of "Gloria" and "Here Comes the Night") through 1973's Hard Nose the Highway ... see all copies from £10.25! new only from £11.31!
18 view cover	Nobody's Child: Romanian Angel Appeal (1990) more music like this by Various Artists This album was compiled by George and Olivia Harrison and released in 1990 to benefit Romanian orphans. It contains previously unreleased tracks by, among others, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and the Traveling Wilburys. Kenneth M. Cassidy, All Music Guide see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
19 view cover	Wavelength (1978) more music like this by Van Morrison Wavelength essentially picks up where A Period of Transition left off, offering a focused, full-bodied alternative to that record's warmly fuzzy lack of direction. Like that album, it's hardly a major entry in his catalog, but there are signs that Van Morrison is finding his footing for his latter-day voice. Again, the primary appeal of this ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £8.17!
20 view cover	Poetic Champions Compose (1987) more music like this by Van Morrison If the title didn't tip you off, the opening five-minute jazz instrumental "Spanish Steps" certainly reveals that Poetic Champions Compose is an art record. Of course, Van Morrison has been making art records since at least Inarticulate Speech of the Heart, perhaps Common One, so that shouldn't come as a surprise. What is a bit of a shock is that ... see all copies from £14.51!
21 view cover	Into the Music (1979) more music like this by Van Morrison Into the Music may not seem like a great Van Morrison record, one of his very best, upon first listen, especially if you're trying to compare it to such masterpieces as Astral Weeks and Moondance, or even Tupelo Honey. Yet this is certainly one of his best records, one that is quietly winning and thoroughly ingratiating, sounding stronger, even ... see all copies from £6.12! new only from £10.31!
22 view cover	Beautiful Vision (1982) more music like this by Van Morrison Beautiful Vision shares much sonically with its predecessor, Common One, being heavy on long, winding song-poems, moderate tempos, dense lyricism, and dated production. Still, this winds up being a stronger articulation of what Morrison was attempting to do on Common One -- much like how Wavelength got A Period of Transition right. That doesn't ... see all copies from £4.66! new only from £9.15!
23 view cover	Common One (1980) more music like this by Van Morrison Van Morrison was working through one of his greatest -- yet least appreciated -- creative periods when he made this album, one that burrows deeply into an introspective jazz-rooted spiritual groove. With Mark Isham's lonely muted trumpet up front, listeners are in the jazz world immediately with "Haunts of Ancient Peace," merging perfectly with ... see all copies from £1.51! new only from £9.16!
24 view cover	Back on Top (1999) more music like this by Van Morrison After so many songs ranging through so many styles, it is a pleasure to have Van Morrison return to the music that suits him so well. Steeped in blues and R&B, Back on Top finds Morrison celebrating life and its pleasures to the limit. The up-tempo "New Biography" takes a sharp stab at those who say they know him just so they can see their names ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £6.69!
25 view cover	No Guru, No Method, No Teacher (1986) more music like this by Van Morrison No Guru, No Method, No Teacher was Van Morrison's second studio album for Mercury, following A Sense of Wonder and Live at the Grand Opera House Belfast. It was recorded at the height of his spiritual period and is among the most laid-back records of his career. Morrison's notion of seeking, and being all but drowned by his obsession with ... see all copies from £3.58! new only from £8.88!
