Fave Van Song

Other songs I like are "Into the Mystic", "Summertime in England", In the Garden", "Vanlose Stairway", "Philosopher's Stone", etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, and so on .......

Ooo, I like Philosopher's Stone, but I think 'Days Like This' is my favourite song, though I not his best album by far. At one of my old jobs I picked the music to be played in the shop, I played 'Enlightenment' every day for about two months! its a good album.

I think "Enlightenment" is a great album. I love "In the Days Before Rock n Roll". The spoken part at the beginning is really interesting. Apparently Van got upset when a concert-goer called out "Where's Justin?" at a concert.

I've heard "Brown Eyed Girl" too many times. Van has written some really great songs but I usually hear "Brown Eyed Girl". I suppose it's his most radio-friendly song.

I like "Behind the Ritual" from "Keep it Simple" and "In the Garden" from "No Guru, No Method, No Teacher".

"Here Comes The Night" always be my fave Van song ! whilst here can anyone tell me why Harry Potter was involved with Vans "Philosophers Stone" I wasn't sure if Potter was a van fan or just a Pot Head ?

I like the romantic songs - "Someone Like You", Have I told You Lately", "In the Afternoon", "Brown Eyed Girl", etc. And Rodstarr2001 do you live in the US?

I also like "In the Days Before Rock 'n Roll". What about the Muppets song "Being Green" from the "Hard Nose the Highway" album? Terrible.

I like a lot of the tracks from "Hard Nose the Highway". "Purple Heather", "Autumn Song", "The War Children" and "Warm Love" are all great.

I like virtually the whole "Veedon Fleece" album. Throw the song "Tupelo Honey" into there as well.

My favourite song - not just favourite Van song - is "Into the Mystic", from the "Moondance" album. I could listen to it forever...though my singing along would annoy everyone within earshot.

I like "Autumn Song", "Someone Like You", "In the Afternoon", "Into the Mystic", "Summertime in England", "That's Entrainment", "Don't Look Back" and "Days Like This".

I like making mix CDs to "spread the word" about Van. I taylor then to my audience. I don't think I'm doing wrong because I'm promoting Van among my moronic friends. Friends and frenemies. Anyway I like "In the Days Before Rock n Roll".

I like Autumn Song. I cannot get this song from Napster and from Itunes I have to get the whole album. Does anyone have an MP3 of Autumn Song I can have?

I love "Ringworm" from "The New York Sessions" and various other Bang ripoff albums.

I love all the stuff on "Keep it Simple". "That's Entrainment" is cool.

My favorite Van Morrison song hasn't been written yet. Get it? I want the Man to keep going forever.

I like "Celtic New Year" from "Magic Time".

I like "Behind the Ritual". That's what I'm playing now.

I like "Summertime in England". Long, but beautifully long.

"Have I Told You Lately","Brown Eye Girl","Into The Mystic" and "Wild Nights". I'm sure I'm forgetting something but those are the ones on the
top my head right now.

Let's move right away from "greatest hits". How about "Ring Worm", Summertime in England" and "In the Days Before Rock and Roll"?

I like the John Lee Hooker version of "Gloria" and any duet sung with Brian Kennedy. I like "Crazy Love" and "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" the old hymn.

Sense of Wonder, Master's Eyes, Lifetimes, Tir na nOg, In the Garden, Summertime In England, When The Healing Has Begun, Cry for Home, Ballerina, and "our song" What Would I Do. The last is not written by VM but is the best version I know.(I basically like everything between Tupelo Honey and Enlightenment except the "Hits". I hope you "Hits" fans in Chicago were happy last night. All 6 of you. You can even tell Van hates singing "Brown-Eyed Girl" Oh Well/ I really hope that you enjoyed it anyway. Sorry to be bitter.

I like "Soul" from "Keep it Simple" and "Gloria".
