    I'd certainly be interested to hear them.

    The only songs I know are his hits, and the only albums of which I have fleeting awareness are ones that have his hits("Astral Weeks," "Blowin' Your Mind," and "Moondance").
    All carrot, no stick.

    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.
