All carrot, no stick.
"He's just another power junkie, just another silk scarf monkey. You'd know it if you saw his stuff. The man just isn't big enough."--Glenn Frey/Don Henley
"You think you know me, but you haven't got a clue."--John Lennon/Paul McCartney
Well, if you go back to the first page of the thread you will see my favourite albums & songs.
I would say that Blowin' Your Mind from his pre Astral Weeks days isn't really representative of what he became. It depends - are you interested in the mystical Celtic visionary? If so, Astral Weeks. Jazz & blues flavoured songwriting? Moondance. Return to his Irish roots? Irish Heartbeat. More mainstream FM radio songs? Beautiful Vision or Into The Music, both of which also contain elements of all of the above.
