Backstreet JellyPOLL: ILM Van Morrison Poll Discussion Thread

"rave on john donne" merging into "did ye get healed" at the end of the '87 glastonbury show = a+

into the music is def a return to form in composition and production, it makes a lot more sense as a follow-up to veedon fleece than a period of transition does, and it sounds so crisp

Van is going to kill you if you meet him by those pylons, i think. or maybe love you forever? but also maybe kill you?

kornrulez is there a time cut-off tomorrow (2nd Aug)? I'm on GMT.

Officially the cutoff 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time, August 3. That's 6 hours behind GMT. But I'm not going to be able to check the ballots until around 9am August 3.

How many people still have to vote?

me, will send this evening

Speaking of cleaning windows, I never took in that the first line in St Dominic's Preview was about just that: "shammy cleaning all the windows..."

St Dominic's is very high on my ballot. Here's a lovely mellow version from his Belfast 1979 show, I believe the first time he's back in Belfast in many many years.

Into the Music is a top three Van album

"Bright side of the road" is the go-to Van song for Irish radio even more than "Brown Eyed Girl". I'm kinda sick of it esp the Dairylea girl backing vox. It put me off listening to "into the music" tbh

In the USA radio it's either Domino or Wild Night. Brown Eyed Girl is easily his biggest hit here but it's been relegated to oldies status.

...and/or "Moondance"--I was amazed to discover it wasn't a single since it was such a radio staple.
