Free Music Notes for Still on Top: The Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Cheese its Van!
Hit: 4 Stars
I can't say this is not a CD full of great Van-songs but I am bothered (especially on the 3 disc import version of this CD) by his insistence on putting songs on that are not necessarily hits or favorites but carry the message of his born again self. They are preaching and unfair to include on a set that is supposed to be a "best of." There would be nothing wrong with putting out a collection of these songs but then we would know what we were getting.Free Music Review: Outstanding collection
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a longtime fan and finally, this the perfect collection of Van's best songs. All my favorites are on this one CD, especially "Days Like This" and "Moondance" and they sound amazing. I'll be putting my other compilations into storage and will keep this around me at all times. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is also a longtime fan or espcially to someone who needs to discover this unique and incredible voice. Free Music Review: Missed Opportunity
Hit: 3 Stars
Its not easy to rate this, the music is terrific but what is the idea behind it? Who is it for? I'm a fan and I have all his official releases and lots more but this is not a Greatest Hits, he has hardly had any. It isn't a best of either, how can it be with nothing from Astral Weeks on it. The packaging (I bought the 3CD version) is nothing special, the notes are very poor, just a list of what and when things were released. There is only one "rarity" and while its Ok the original release is better. It is now some time since Morrison released anything original. This is a greatest hits, the previous one was a best of and the one before that was a movie compilation. The release before that was Pay The Devil a third rate country pastiche that is perhaps his second worst release of all time. It is apparent that these releases are part of a retirement plan and if so how about the long promised box set? I am more convinced than ever that he has nothing more to say and that rehashed compilations will be the order of the day for some time. I hope I'm wrong but things look distinctly unpromising.
