This just in: The typical American consumer is a giant fuckface. As it turns out, the music-buying public has worse taste in music than we ever could have imagined.

Van Morrison: Still on Top: The Greatest Hits

In over 40 years of performing, Van Morrison has released records on a variety of labels. Until now, there has apparently not been a best of culled from his entire catalog.
