Another for "Right Now."

 

Mean Street.

 

I worked at a concert in Bay City, Mich., in 1978, when Van Halen had just put out their first album and they were opening for Bob Seger. I snuck to a spot in between the barriers and the stage and was standing right below Eddie while he played and I swear to God I never saw fingers move so fast on purpose. It was great.

I was more a Van Halen than Van Hagar guy, but both were more than good enough for me.

 

"Unchained"

And I especially love the video that goes with it that was played on MTV for awhile.

 

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by.

 

I don't know if it's my fave, but I always love to hear "Little Dreamer" off the first album.

 

I liked Diver Down. especially Little Guitars.

I guess my pick would be one you never here off 1984 ... Drop Dead Legs. An excellent song.

I like Jamie's Cryin', Dance The Night Away, ... And The Cradle Will Rock among their overplayed ones.

 

Everybody Wants Some

 

Good call on Me Wise Magic, Sam......great song.

 

Who else finds it at least mildly ironic that Chef wrote a thread titled "Dance the night away"?

 

Dance the Night Away
Unchained
Little Guitars
Jamie's Cryin'
Atomic Punk
Hot for Teacher

I also like a lot of the various of the "silly" songs, like "Could This Be Magic?," "Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now," and "Ice Cream Man."

DLR-era Van Halen might not have been the greatest rock n' roll band of all time, but they might have been the most fun ...
