I don't think he gets the credit he deserves for making FM into what they became: moved their operation from London to LA; took over their business because they were getting ripped off. I think the song 'Angel' is awesome.

Petty's Full Moon Fever (his first solo record) went 5x Platinum
Wildflowers did pretty well, too
Springsteen recorded Nebraska w/out the E Street Band and then, in 1989, disbanded them for about 10 years before reuniting...

I like Lennon's solo stuff equally or better than McCartneys.

Fair enough. But the average music listener -- or even the above averge music listener -- wouldn't be able to name the band that Van was n before he went solo. I mean, that'd be a nasty hard trivial pursuit question.

75% of people under 40 have probably never heard of Van Morrison at all
Them was very successful in the UK and had at least two top 40 hits in the US. They did the original version of "Gloria", a concert staple for many bands. They qualify as much as any other band here.

There were days I thought rock had died, and a Foo Fighters song would rescue me.

I think you need to look at the original post.

Some posters have definitely stretched the issue, but it's all in fun.

The deal with VM with Them is that he was the front man...the lead singer.
Jimi Hendrix with Little Richard or Isley Brothers is not quite the same. He didn't truly get any recognition at that time...not like McCartney, Henley, Michael Jackson and so on.
But again, it's all in fun.
