You are a maniac! LOL. I too was interested in the "mystery" surrounding Paul when I was in 7th or 8th grade. I read all the rumours and tried to play the album in reverse, etc.

Then I discovered Gloria by Them (van morrison's old band) and ditched the Beatles altogether. ;o)

I'm a huge Van Morrison fan.
He is one of the finest singer/songwriters ever. Everytime an new CD comes out I have to snag it.
I know it's tough to name a favorite Van Morrison album.
Perhaps this calls for another thread :)
Here are a few.

A Night In San Francisco
A Sense Of Wonder
Astral Weeks
Avalon Sunset
Back On top
Bang Masters
Beautiful Vision
Belfast Beat
Best Of Vol. 1

Hymns To The Silence

The Skiffle Sessions
Too Long In Exile

Hyms to the Silence is amazing. Irish Heartbeat with the Chieftains is a lot of fun.
Avalon Sunset has a good duet with Cliff Richards (Yes, Cliff Richards)
And The Skiffle Sessions and You Win Again are ones that you absolutely have to
have in any Van Morrison Collection.
There a a few new ones I haven't entered into my Database that are very good.
Van has been getting back to his THEM blues roots a lot more lately.
