What I like about Van Morrison is his music, what I do not like about him is that, like every aging white musician, they try to distance themselves from rock, which bascially brought him fame. Theres some song where he sings that he plays "r&b, soul" and a bunch of other type of music, but goes out of his way to say he doens't sing rock. That just burns me, same with sting, I like what you've created and I think they are both good, but don't try to deny your roots when you want to sell CD's to the adult contemporary crowd.
In addition to what Stu has listed, I love his version of Muddy Waters "Baby please don't go" and I think his Gloria isn't bad, but since theres about 5 gloria's I can't exactly remember.
