Nomination #6: Van Morrison - Moondance
#1
[Image: 51RV37clhWL._SL500_AA300_.jpg]

Track listing:

1 And it Stoned me
2 Moondance
3 Crazy Love
4 Caravan
5 Into The Mystic
6 Come Running
7 These Dreams of You
8 Brand New Day
9 Everyone
10 Glad Tidings

Astral Weeks may be the critics' choice, but I'd pick this, from 1970 as Morrison's best.

The whole album has an another-worldly feel, and its' passionate, Jazzy delivery is absolutely intoxicating. Other than a few of Pink Floyd's records, I can't think of many albums that are so strong throughout. There isn't a duff track here.

About as evocative of nature, nostalgia, and celebration as "Rock" music ever got...
