As long as we're on the track of things we don't get, I have not been able to understand why these are considered landmark albums.

I love Van Morrison - he is near the top of my list. Astral Weeks is pretty close to the bottom of my list as far as Van albums. It's listenable, but I consider several others much more enjoyable.

Beach Boys - I haven't been a huge fan, but I did really enjoy a Brian Wilson concert a couple of years ago. I always thought they were fun to listen to, but I didn't see the "art" in Pet Sounds.

Am I alone here?

Regards,

I never got Citizen Kane, either, but that's another forum, Rosebud.

Astral Weeks is brilliant to my ears. Considering when it was released and what was popular at the time it certainly was a landmark recording. I never get tired of it.

I listen to music reviewers about as much as I listen to movie reviewers. Let us remember that movie reviewers told us that "The Piano" was the best movie out. Gimme a break.

All opinions stated are strictly Danimal's and in know way should AudioKarma be held responsible. As a matter of fact... let's not hold Danimal responsible either
