Okay, I have calmed down enough to drive (and pulled all those to my jump drive for the MINI). Thanks, guys. - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:36 5
- Err, what did I miss? - David Oct 6, 14:39 4
  - just him finding out. -- nm - Reagen Oct 6, 14:41 3
    - and can't drive 55 -- nm - 🎃 Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 6, 14:42 2

"Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" is probably my favourite of the few Van Halen songs I listened to as a kid, but I just started listening to a few others... - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 6, 14:31 3
- One of the models in the video, Lillian Muller, just turned 69. -- nm - Max Oct 6, 14:36

Imagine if it's such a blowout that they *can* call it on election night. - ty97 Oct 6, 14:30 13

  - No wall-border states. -- nm - Max Oct 6, 14:48
  - What is this bullshit? Indiana hasn't had a poll in a month, and then it was red by 53/39. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 6, 14:43 2
    - It's based on the crosstab of the CNN Biden +16 poll, using the swingometer for demographic information. - ty97 Oct 6, 14:48
    - tbc, I don't think this is at all likely. It's just what the crosstab demos of the CNN poll would lead to. -- nm - Reagen Oct 6, 14:48
  - I would like to go to sleep now and dream of this. -- nm - pmb Oct 6, 14:36
  - Nasty -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:33

    - Speaking of, I need a spreadsheet of 2020 mail vote rules by state - ty97 Oct 6, 14:36
- With the number of mail in ballots I highly doubt they would even in this case. -- nm - spamlet Oct 6, 14:32 1
  - oh I agree, but still, I'm a allowed one moment of dreaming. -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 14:33
- of course -- nm - mud Oct 6, 14:31
I need Trump to see the polls. I need for him to double, triple, and quadruple down on what he thinks works. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 6, 14:24 1
- I'm amazed how he knows his policy loses senior voters and he keeps pursuing it. "This will only hurt us in Florida and Arizona!" -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:27
I'd forgotten, yesterday I pulled this onto my desktop on my main computer at work. -- (pic) - Spawn Oct 6, 14:21 [Attachment] 8
- Worst Album? I'll nominate Diver Down -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:24 7

    - that was the other one I considered but Unchained is one of my fave songs of theirs -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:32 1
      - IIRC, that's what I bought it for, but just hated the rest of it. - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 6, 14:38
  - Get past the first four tracks and it *explodes*. Any Van Hagar. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:27 3
    - If not a Hagar I might go Fair Warning. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:30
    - and ends with Happy Trails -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:29 1
      - Yeah, the awesome. - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:30

OMG, I just saw (was meeting with our attorney). - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:00
I just took Fridays off from October 16 to November 13. Long weekends it is. (still have a couple more.) -- nm - Candieman, Candieman, Candieman Oct 6, 13:59
Related Poll: Favorite version of Van Halen? Roth, Hagar, dude from Extreme, other -- nm - Booooooker Oct 6, 13:58 14
- Roth is the pure original. Hagar helped make it popular -- nm - 🎃 Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 6, 14:49
- When Roth left and Hagar came in, I had a really tough time accepting that as 'Van Halen'. However - ty97 Oct 6, 14:23
- Valerie Bertinelli -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 6, 14:14
- Roth. I mean, Van Hagar was good, but not Van Halen. David Lee Roth made Van Halen what it is and was. - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 6, 14:13
- Sammy -- nm - 🧛 pfm in a foodchem mask 💀 Oct 6, 14:05
- Both Roth and Hagar. Excellent a stuff from both iterations of the group. -- nm - TWuG Oct 6, 14:05
- Roth - though I dislike him personally - he had the pipes for the songs. Perfect fit -- nm - Pippy's Brew Oct 6, 14:03
- MJ Van Halen! -- nm - Max Oct 6, 14:03
- Van Halen. That means DLR. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:02 2
  - Spawn is right. Though I also liked that other band, Van Hagar -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:05 1
    - The best thing I can say is the split let us go from 1984 to both Eat 'em And Smile and 5150. - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:08
- Van Hagar -- nm - Booooooker Oct 6, 14:00 2
  - Yep. I liked both, but 5150, ou812 and for unlawful... lyrically and tonally have some amazing songs and lyrics. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 6, 14:23
  - Yes -- nm - groiny Oct 6, 14:03
I hate to have to do this poll, but: Favorite Van Halen song? Whittle it down to 1...let's go! nm -- nm - Arby Oct 6, 13:56 47
- Love Walks In followed by Poundcake and Black and Blue -- nm - David Oct 6, 14:39 2
  - Poundcake is tops of my Van Hagar tracks. That whole record was great. -- nm - Arby Oct 6, 14:48 1
    - I always found Hagar's voice way more dynamic than Roth, so I gravitated more to Van Hagar. - groiny Oct 6, 14:49
- Running With The Devil -- nm - zork Oct 6, 14:26
- Eruption. far and above the rest. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 6, 14:13 2
  - Do you include ACK You Really Got Me? It is like 1984/Jump. You must. -- (edited) - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:14 1
    - Yes, was just going to say, the lead in. It's like Tool's Parabol/Parabola. The two tracks are one in my mind. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 6, 14:15
- I like the slow build and craziness of Ice Cream Man. -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 14:11 1
  - In my top 5 VH, for sure. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:13
- I'll Wait -- nm - Dano Oct 6, 14:04
- Runaround. -- nm - groiny Oct 6, 14:03
- Roth - Ain't Talkin Bout Love; Hagar - Why Can't This Be Love -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:03 1
  - For Hagar it's Right Now by a good bit for me. -- nm - pmb Oct 6, 14:29
- No idea, but my dude just put them on and it's Eruption/You Really Got Me. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 6, 14:00 1
  - word -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 6, 14:16

- Dance The Night Away -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 13:58 19
  - I'm too young to know this song -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 14:16
  - though it was not original, nor did it best display the strength of the band, that song always makes me smile -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 13:59 17
    - Exactly this. As I have said on ST, Van Halen is one of my four original favorite bands. - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:01 16
      - Halen was very much the soundtrack of a lot of my life. nm - Arby Oct 6, 14:03 1
        
        heh, I didn't see your post before I made mine below :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:10
      - :-( I'm thinking that this must be for Spawn like if Fripp or Hackett passed for me, so: sorry, bub -- nm - mud Oct 6, 12:57 -- nm - mud Oct 6, 14:02 13
        
        Thanks. This is worse that Prince or Bowie. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:04 12
        
        the one that got me the most was Tom Petty, he was like the soundtrack of my life -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:06 11
        
        Cobain sent me into seclusion for a week. -- nm - groiny Oct 6, 14:10 5
        
        That was huge, but I admit as I only had Nirvana for what, four years? I handled it better. - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:12
        
        It was bad, but I have to say Kurt didn't shock me. I kind of saw that coming. Chris Cornell really shocked me because he'd made it that much longer. -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:11 3
        
        While not unexpected, it still hit me hard, as did Weiland and Staley. - groiny Oct 6, 14:14 2
        
        I didn't think Prince would bother me, but then Purple Rain came on the radio and I felt a couple tears forming. -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:18
        
        Ah. Purple Rain kinda changed my life. And I was a Bowie fan for life. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:15
        
        He was a pretty close third for me. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:09 4
        
        the only ones that I think will get me worse will be Bruce and Eddie -- nm* - crash davis Oct 6, 14:10 3
        
        Bruce will destroy me. Fingers crossed it's not for a long time. -- nm - pmb Oct 6, 14:28 1
        
        indeed -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:45
