Astral Weeks. Also Moondance and Veedon Fleece are decent.
But Van Morrison's discography is very frustrating because in the 50 years it spans he doesn't even come close to creating something as magical as Astral Weeks again.

Eh, I'll allow it. I never cared too much for Moondance but I suppose it's "essential."

All of them. Van is patrician.
Anything with THEM!

better than every (studio) album he put out not named Astral Weeks
Moondance is great. His debut with Them is very good, and incredibly underrated--but it's easy to live in the shadow of Gloria.
People really like Astral Weeks and St Dominic's Preview a lot.

Depends on what you mean by "better". I think he plays it quite safe on that album. Albums like Veedon Fleece and Common One are more exciting imo.

Has he even made one good record since the 90s? Ik love his early stuff but he just keeps pumping out these boring cheesy albums lately
