Album Description
THE FIRST-EVER CAREER-SPANNING SINGLE DISC GREATEST HITS COLLECTION FROM ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ARTISTS OF OUR TIME One of the best-selling albums of the Nineties, the five-times-platinum, 1990-issued The Best Of Van Morrison, is out of print. For a new, career-spanning collection from the singer-songwriter ranked in the top half of both Vh1's "100 Greatest Artists Of Rock And Roll" and Rolling Stone's "The Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time," only one man could possibly handpick the tracks and oversee their mastering -- Van Morrison himself. That is what the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has done for Still On Top - The Greatest Hits. Spanning his work from 1964 to 2005 on a handful of different record labels, Still On Top - The Greatest Hits celebrates a singer who has influenced everyone from Bruce Springsteen and The Doors' Jim Morrison to Tom Petty and Elvis Costello. Van the Man has been hailed as one of "popular music's true innovators, a restless seeker whose incantatory vocals and alchemical fusion of R&B, jazz, blues, and Celtic folk produced perhaps the most spiritually transcendent body of work in the rock & roll canon" (All Music Guide).

 Superb July 17, 2008
A great collection with not a single weak tune in the bunch. I like it, my wife likes, my five-year-old son likes it. The lyrics are thoughtful and intelligent (and generally constructive--a real plus when sharing with a child), and the music is nuanced and varied and genre-bending. I was not deeply familiar with Van Morrison but have enjoyed this disk immensely and hope to explore more of his work.

The CD is a compilation of my favorite Van Morrison songs. They're still excellent after all these years.
Vandave June 4, 2008
This is one of the smoothest, best put together albums I have ever bought. And with 2500 albums in my collection that's saying a lot. I used to think that Van was a mumbler and most of his lyrics too hard to hear, but this album cleared it all up and I have a new respect for him. A great album!!!
Pretty good, but May 5, 2008
I had heard all the radio selections such as "Domino" and "Brown Eyed Girl" but I really didn't get into his music until he came out with "Wavelegnth" and later (my favorite) "Enlightenment". "Still on Top"
rehashes some of his greatest hits but most of these were done on an earlier "Greatest Hits" CD. Again, a good CD to get a a sampling of what you are likely to hear on the radio from him but they leave out many of the songs you want to listen to over and over on his later releases.
Van Morrison-Still On Top-The Greatest Hits May 2, 2008
This album is a great collection of Van Morrison's classics. Van Morrison is one of the truly great artists.
