PantherDave Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Well, out of many bands the one thing that stands out about Van Halen is powerful, as this IMO is the most powerful hard rock band in it's prime of all time. Not saying other bands were not great in concert-they were, but VH was a unique experience, as they truly rocked you. This one was real tuff for me, but it always boils down to one tune and they never played it at a concert I attended-well actually two. Mean Streets I also love "Dirty Movies" The Cradle will Rock Beautiful Girls Jamies Crying Romeo Delight Down and Dirty Take your Whiskey Home Unchained Light up the Sky My fav album is "Women and Children First" Edited March 11, 2007 by PantherDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I have over-played all of those albums to the point where the normal "good" songs, I have memorized. But last year I started re-listening to the old stuff and realized that "Loss of Control" was one of my new favorites off those albums.

AtomicCEO Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Drop Dead Legs That does not meet the album range criteria. (But is a good song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Im the one off VH 1 is my favorite with Get me a doctor and Little Guitars close 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vatican Hitsquad Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 2 songs from what many condifer the worst Roth album: The Full Bug Big Bad Bill Also, as overplayed as it is: Hot For Teacher. Absolutely perfect song, righ down to the top 10 videos of all time. Bad was never the same when Roth split to create some early, great music (so long as Vai and Shhenan were with him). Hagar also lost his edge with VH: VOA is an awesome CD as well as 3 Lock Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxfactor Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Once again I'll go for some of the lesser played-on-radio songs 1) Atomic Punk (not to be confused with our own AtomicCeo) 2) Bottoms Up 3) I'm The One 4) Little Dreamer 5) Outta Love Again IMO nothing touches the debut album. I remember waiting for the release of VHII and I was pleasantly shocked with the opening tune of You're No Good. They did a fantastic job with that one. I saw VH for the first 3 tours and remember their VHII tour that they played every song on the album except for DOA and I was actually bummed out about that. Saw them in the Stanley Theatre in Pittsburgh for the Women and Children First tour. Talk about loud. In a little 3000-4000 seat theatre. What a show! Just bought the remaster of VHII and will listen to it yet again. This was my favorite cruising album for me and my bud riding around in his 1971 Olds Cutlass. Brings back many memories. Thanks PD!

darin3 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love I'd have to go with this one, too. As for ANY Van Halen song, I'd go with "Right Now". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
