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
Atomic Punk -- nm - mud Oct 6, 14:00 1
- That and the next track, Feel Your Love are among my faves. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 6, 14:03
Panama -- nm - 🧛 pfm in a foodchem mask 💀 Oct 6, 14:00
Mean Street -- nm - Max Oct 6, 14:00
Ain't Talkin Bout Love. -- nm - pmb Oct 6, 13:59 4

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
        
        well, my post was just about guitarists and youse guys elevated it to artists which is a whole other area! -- nm* - mud Oct 6, 14:13
no idea -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 6, 13:58
I'll start: Jamie's Crying. -- nm* - Arby Oct 6, 13:56 1
- I kept going between this and Ain't Talkin Bout Love -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:07
