The only reason that I gave this collection four stars is because it doesnt feature my favorite Van track,"I'll be your lover too". Other than that, if you arent going to buy the individual albums(like me), then this is a great collection that summarizes the bulk of Van's most well loved songs. A prolific and beautiful songwriter, Van has penned timeless classics that have endured the test of time. Buy this album and go for a long drive alone with this album as your companion and you'll understand what I'm trying to say.

I am now only beginning to get into Van Morrison though I've been aware of him for a while. Who hasn't heard Brown Eyed Girl or Gloria on the radio. This album is probably a good step for some one like me who is just getting started however this album has 21 tracks and his Greatest Hits is a 2 CD set yet neither have Tupelo Honey, and this one is missing In The Mysty. This album would have been complete with those two tracks and there's a couple on here I would have gladly traded for them. So I will now have to add Moondance at some point to get In The Mysty and buy the album Tupelo Honey to get that track. I thought I remembered that song in the Big Chill but it isn't on the soundtrack, so I could be mistaken. One other beef is this album is supposed to be "remastered" yet on several of the early tracks background hiss is easily audible. Even with that the version of Brown Eyed Girl is one of the better ones I've heard. All in all this album has 21 tracks which of most are very good and for the price is a bargain. Van Morrison isn't the norm for me but there is something about his music that just draws me in. He is also very versatile, at home doing his soulful ballads, fun up tempo toe tappers or even the Blues. If you are a fan you may already have all of his albums for the rest of us Still On Top is a good way to start appreciating Van Morrison. If you are on the fence, go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Love this collection. Has nearly all his best work. I can hear this over and over without tiring of the wonderful songs.

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.

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...
