please direct me to any particular albums you think i should listen to (not Astral Weeks or Moondance or best ofs).
Or is there a period where he did a lot of stuff worth listening to.
Never got into him - and refuse to judge him by “Brown Eyed Girl”.
As he is revered by many, i thought i better see what the fuss is about.
I can’t claim any deep level of knowledge, but ‘Into The Music’ is probably my favourite of his after ‘Astral Weeks’. It’s a bit MOR at times but there are plenty of good tunes. Also, I remember really liking ‘You Win Again’ (with Linda Gail Lewis) but I don’t own it and I haven’t heard it for years (not on Spotify either). It’s just cover versions, but they’re both on great form throughout, obviously having fun and that comes across.
Veedon Fleece is absolutely brilliant, 2nd only to Astral Weeks for me. I’m surprised it doesn’t get more acclaim to be honest.
No Guru No Method No Teacher from the 80’s is excellent too. In The Garden from that record is simply stunning.
I’ve always had a soft spot for St Dominic’s Preview as well.
The live album, It’s Too Late To Stop Now is worth checking out too,
