Van Halen Songs Elimination: Van Halen II ROUND 3

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Rankings so far:

 

10. You're No Good

9. Women In Love

8. Bottoms Up

 

 

I guess doo-wop interludes are also a no go for this crowd!

I love the break. The one in I'm The One, too.

DOA still sucks.

 

Outta Love is :haz:

Bottoms Up is out ?!?

What's up with the hate for D.O.A.?

What's up with the hate for D.O.A.?

Is it hate or just a feeling that it's the least good of an outstanding group of songs?

Whole albums great. Departure from 1st with a bit of variety in tone etc.

But for me, DOA and Light Up the sky being a the bottom.

I suspect there is love for Light but I think the vocal part/melody is lacking and the uptemtpo nature of the song is good but not enough to save it against others. Bridge is quality though.

DOA is fun but just messy. I can guess why others like it but imo doesn't match the rest here.

You're no good is ok near the bottom but to me, level-ish with these.

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Huh, D.O.A. is one of my total favorites from the album. I thought it was better loved too! Guess it proves I continue to have funky taste in VH.

 

Maybe Dance The Night Away can win it all... that one might be my very favorite...

I personally much prefer D.O.A over the

far too poppy for my liking DTNA.

DTNA is a pop record to appease the Record Label.

At least DOA has that VH attitude/swagger !

I didn’t bother trying to save DOA

however.. as can already see that

unfortunately DOA is already DITW !

Dead in the Water :-(

I think Spanish Fly might even be above Eruption in my favourite Eddie moments list. Partly because I had a classical guitar as a kid, and mine didn`t make any of those noises unless I dropped it or it caught my sleeve.

Somebody Get Me A Doctor is not only my favorite off II, it's probably my favorite VH tune period.
