Lorraine Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) There are no wrong answers here. Unless you pick Van Hagar songs. I like them too, but nothing they released with Hagar belongs in the top 3. Or 30.Sapiosexuals love the Sammy stuff.I'm afraid to look that up. EDIT: In case anyone else here is as ignorant, here's what I found: One who finds the content's of someone else's mind to be their most attractive attribute, above and before their physical characteristics. From the Latin root "sapien", meaning wise. Impressive! :)I've never come across that word that I remember. Learn something new every day.

I like them too, but nothing they released with Hagar belongs in the top 3. Or 30. I'd make one exception to this... the song 5150 would likely make my Top 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Panama Jump I'll wait (my personal favorite DLR vocal) Another I'll Wait lover!!! All of the songs you mentioned are good. As for DLR and his voice, I think his best vocals are on the debut album. Many here say he can't sing, but I think he can. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a great rock singer ... and probably one of the top 3 front men ever, along with freddie mercury and steven tyler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistry1973 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 In his late 70s, early 80s heyday, his voice was perfect. DLR was a GREAT vocalist. No one sounded like him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to add that the little intro to Jump - 1984 - is, to me, beautiful. Eddie is exceedingly talented. He is aces on keyboards.

chemistry1973 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) This song epitomizes Van Halen's appeal to me - those chords man - that feeling of longing that runs deep through their early catalog. And thatlocked live groove Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony had on those early recordings. that all got so lost...
