My Prog Rock jug band in college were called The Unsung Assholes.

Yeah one of his many ex wives had a brother he wanted to manage them. Weird thing is he was really bad and made Cherone happen because he managed Extreme. Oddly enough though the only thing he did not screw up was that he also managed the entire career of Rush.

2 different bands.

Both great.

VHalen was more street-tough. VHagar was more high-flyin' and had more soul.

Meanstreet and Somebody get me a Doctor rock. (Fuck Hot For Teacher, Jamies Cryin, and Panama)

I like more VHagar songs across the board than Vhalen songs.

But Dave era is true Van Halen.

Show of hands. Who has voluntarily listened to a Van Halen song over the past six months? By "voluntarily" I mean, not something that: happened to be playing on the radio while you were driving, happened to come on when you were in a bar, and not one of the hundreds of songs you have on a Spotify playlist (or some other playlist), but something that you actually sought out. In other words you said, "Hmm. I feel like hearing Dreams right now."

I don't think I've sought out a Van Halen song at any point this decade. I don't think the music is bad. I just am permanently burnt out on it.

That being said, Van Hagar over Van Halen.

I have, on several occasions. Maybe I am an exception.

Van Halen with Roth was the best version, but my favorite VH song is "Right Now"

I don't even know what fucking world this is anymore. Your favorite Van Halen song is a Pepsi commercial? What are you thoughts about "I'd like To Teach The World To Sing?" There is a sweet solo at the bridge.

I chose to listen to the greatest hits on my run the other day, before I even saw this thread. I have maybe under half of Best of Both Worlds on there, I hit shuffle, it's all good. Probably also all stuff the Loop used to play.

My phoneworthy Van Halen:

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
Why Can't This Be Love
Feels So Good
Panama
Top of the World
Beautiful Girls (if you have a big thirst, and you're gay...)
Dance the Night Away
Right Now
When It's Love
Dancing in the Street
Jump
I'll Wait
Everybody Wants Some!!
Dreams
Eruption/You Really Got Me
Runnin' with the Devil
Jamie's Cryin'

Overwhelmingly DLR, for whatever that's worth. No Gary Cherone.

They appear to have more adherents than I thought. It's just that I think I have heard at least one Van Halen song every week of my life for the last 25 plus years, and I'm good. I don't really need to hear anymore.

You say that like it’s bad like you have to hear a Fleetwood Mac song again.

I will actually seek out Fleetwood Mac. Sometimes I need to hear Landslide or Silver Springs. I can't say the same about Hot for Teacher or Right Now.

You might be exceptional, but you're not alone in going out of your way to listen to VH over the last 6 months.

Just chillin' like Garret Quillin.

"Jump" and "Right Now" are my favorite Van Halen songs so that I can say my favorite songs by the guitariest guitar band that ever guitared are both based around keys. "Dance the Night Away" is probably third.

I really feel like I tried to sit at the cool kids' lunch table on this one. I'm gonna go back to my Smiths albums and feel bad about myself.

I've got news for you: if you think you're at the cool kids table, and they're playing Sammy Hagar - era Van Halen, guess what - you're not at the cool kid's table.

Telegram Sam has won this thread. He gets it.

One of my favorite Van Halen song (not Van Hagar)is Dance the night away. The reason is Roth MAKES that song. It's an average song but Roth being the true lead professional that he is just puts that song into the stratosphere.

When Jump came out I liked it. It made Van Halen superstars.

But now, I can't stand it because you hear it everywhere. On the radio or on some commercials etc....

Nobody cares

Fleetwood was a pretty lame band but with time they’re stuff is ok. Sort of like Supertramp.
