I picked 'Ain't Talkin Bout Love' and she made a comment along the lines of "ewwwww, turn this off". Never talked to her again.

Upon reading your list again, it had to be a joke. All of the Cherone songs?! WTF?!

Van has some great songs but no great albums.

Yeah but see with Petty and the Cars and VH, even when they have an album that's not that bad, you don't need it when the greatest hits collection is so damn good.

I'll Wait, Top Jimmy and Drop Dead Legs are all severely underrated from 1984.

Then you're no better than that girl who didn't like "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love." Look: I'm sure percentage-wise, most of Van Hagar was shit, but how does anyone not like "Right Now"? "Right Now" is part of what it means to have grown up in the '90s.

"Right Now" is the greatest VH song ever.

I feel the same way about the Stones, but even Forty Licks starts getting into total crap. I mean what is that stuff at the end, even?

I'm not sure how you could say that. Sticky Fingers might be the pinnacle of the album as a medium for recorded music. If not, maybe Beggar's Banquet is.

Sammy Halen- Poundcake, Summer Nights and Seventh Seal Are good.

Love Walks In? Dreams? Finish what You Started? Right Now?

Seriously? All the girls like that stuff.



David Lee Halen- Every Album thru 84 is excellent. Fair Warning most Under rated Album


Mean streets, Unchained, Dirty MOvies.


Please say which pre Hagar album sucked. Quit talkin out your ass.

I have to agree with this, 100%, except that Diver Down was sort of lame but in its defense it was supposed to be just an A/B side single with Dancing in the Streets or whatever it was. Produced to keep their name out there, instead it became a cover album of sorts.

(OH) Pretty Woman was the song they released before Diver Down was even conceived. There's even a really stupid video for it. The reason the instrumental Intruder exists is due to the length of the video for Pretty Woman. It was too long and the song was too short.

As far as dissing DD, it's probably my least favorite, but I still love it. How could you not love it simply for Little Guitars? Fucking great song.

I was definitely in the Dave camp when they broke up, but the first concert I saw was 5150 (BTO opened). I loathed Sammy at the beginning but grew to enjoy the music they made. Do I think it holds up to the first 6 VH albums? Hell no, but I really like songs like Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do), Humans Being, Amsterdam, Finish What Ya Started, Black and Blue, Judgement Day, Runaround, Top of the World, 5150, Summer Nights, Get Up.

But, the Hagar era also ushered in some of their worst songs, which I don't need to get into.

Roth? Hagar? To me, it's an easy choice, but as Mac always says as the Swirsk, "That's why there's vanilla, and that's why there's chocolate."

Here's the video for Pretty Woman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWQRDI7mTyw
