Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Pretty good, but Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Van Morrison-Still On Top-The Greatest Hits Comment: This album is a great collection of Van Morrison's classics. Van Morrison is one of the truly great artists. Customer Rating: Summary: Too many hits to be "The" Greatest Hits Comment: Van has always been a "hit" factory in my book. I've loved 99% of his music, but I would never buy a greatest hits album of his. I have my own personal favorite "hits" by him, and those are called albums. Into the Music is a greatest hits just like Tupelo Honey, Astral Weeks, Beautiful Vision, Enlightenment, Hymns to the Silence, etc...you get my drift. This is only for the fair weathered fans, not the die hards. Customer Rating: Summary: Enough Already Comment: This compilation only shows to what degree an artist or music company will go to gouge the consumer for music that is not up to expectations. This is a wasted purchase. The tracks, while including many unnecessary and unneeded "oldies" are mixed in with several tracks that try to be too all-encompasing. It misses the mark. It's not pleasing or easy to follow the logic of the tracks. It doesn't follow by year and it doesn't follow by arranging songs in any listenable sequence. Look I love Van, but this really doesn't do justice to the man's musical accomplishments. Customer Rating: Summary: Greatest? Comment: How can you have a greatest hits album without "Into the Mystic" or "Tupelo Honey"? More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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).
