This is the greatest album of all time in my opinion i love it

One thing's for sure.. there's solitude in this. Beautifully, dancing solitude. Van Morrison's voice is what first drew me to him, the way it sounds like a stugggle, the way it almost gargles at times and tugs at certain muscles in my stomach. His louder notes do something to me that I can't explain, it's an emotion I have that few artists have been able to hit in the right way. This is pure Ireland, I can see it in my mind from the start of the first track. Though the entire album is amazing, my favourite tracks would have to be the beautiful and slightly quiet at times, "Beside Me," and "Madame George," which literally paints a movie inside my head and gives me goosebumps. I'm so glad that Van Morrison decided to do an Astral Weeks tour because these songs were not given enough air since their release, and considering it's his best work, that tour was much needed. Definetly pick this up, you're record collection isn't complete without it.
