Product 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).


Customer Reviews


4 stars Tried and true Van Morrison
I particularly enjoy 'greatest hits' of most artists because these albums tend to weed out the songs that didn't quite make it for them. This one is typical of that genre so I feel that even though I wasn't a great fan of Van Morrison I appreciate his best efforts and end up feeling like I get my moneys worth.


5 stars great surprise
I enjoyed hearing morrisons' great hits on the radio but never purchased an album. This was my first purchase of his works and since I haved purchased three more. This album made me a fan..for life..more music van...


4 stars Where are the Liner notes and track information?
This a great single cd collection of Van's great hits but it lacks linear notes, musician information, photos, and other credits. Most cds contain these things in a little booklet inside a four sided cover. I am sure that being a serious collector as I am, I would assume other collectors would miss these things.Instead of this there is a note in the inside cover that says to get this information you must go to a internet site. Whats up with this? Is this the future of cds--to save money and not include this information? I hope not, This is why I do not download any cds--I want to have this information right on the cover or inside. I am sure other collectors would agree.


5 stars Memories Come Back
The best CD brought back so many good memories from my era. Recommend it highly.


5 stars Superb
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.
