I'm diving into Van Morrison's mountain of alleged masterpieces for the first time today. I've got Astral Weeks, Moondance, His Band & the Street Choir, Tupelo Honey, and Saint Dominic's Preview ready to go. It's a beautiful sunny day out, first in a long time, so I'm hoping to prime myself with his more upbeat, freewheelin', and rock oriented albums before diving into Astral Weeks which is apparently widely regarded as one of the most influential albums in the history of pop music, but I've heard it's quite an emotional head trip, I want to save it for the right morning.
So my blueprint for taking on Van Morrison in the most approachable and optimistic way possible:
1st, Moondance
2nd, His Band & the Street Choir
3rd, Tupelo Honey
4th, Saint Dominic's Preview
5th, Astral Weeks
Somebody that knows Van's catalog please correct my order if it seems off, or add any of his more upbeat work that I may have missed.
