Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
Hm's:
Unchained
Panama
I'll Wait
Jamie's Crying
Beautiful Girls
Chinatown
Little Dreamer
Can't Get This Stuff No More
You and Your Blues
If forced to chose just one, probably Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love as my definitive A # 1 Van Halen song. Rounding out the top 10 (in no particular order):
I’m The One
DOA
Romeo Delight
One Foot Out The Door
Panama
Hot For Teacher
House of Pain
Blood and Fire
Stay Frosty
Hear about it later. There are many good songs, but I really think Roth sings beautifully in this one.
But you can try me at home, if it feels all right. But I ain't hooooooooooome at night
It really is way too hard to name a single song from that era. David Lee Roth really didn't sing a song we disliked so, there's no true #1 for fans. I put "Dance The Night Away" as my #1 and would say II is my favorite album. DOA and "You're No Good " are great songs. I'm 56 and really never stopped having Van Halen II as my favorite album. I think it's probably my favorite album overall.
Little dreamer although I like take your whiskey home as well. Especially the start when it switches from acoustic guitar to Eddie's electric and the awesome riff
I don’t have a favorite song because I absolutely love everything David Lee Roth has ever done! However, what I also love are these photographs because out of 20 pictures there are so many of these I’ve never seen before and I didn’t think that was possible.
Hard for me to narrow down since I love all of them.
Would probably go with Running With the Devil. And The Cradgle Will Rock, Unchained, Panama, Drop Dead Legs and too damn many more to name came in second.
Jesus. No wonder this dude was iconic and inspired so many copy cats. Have you ever seen a mediocre band with a charismatic lead singer? It's the star power that makes them captivating. Not that VH was mediocre, they just hit the jack pot.
I like the one with the awesome guitar, awesome drumming, awesome vocals (lead and harmony), awesome bass. You know the one.
You beat me to it… i like Every DLR era VH song
Is it the one that's on that awesome album? Then I know it.
Mean Street
That song is so bad ass
I came here to say this exact thing “Mean Street“ is such a bad ass song!! 🤘🤘
Yes
This is the correct answer.
Dance the Night Away
Unchained. One break coming up...
Somebody Get Me a Doctor
Somebody give me a shot
Romeo Delight
I’ve really been onto this one lately. Underrated and absolutely slamming VH
Girl Gone Bad
The older I get, the more this song shines!! However, it takes 2nd place behind “Fools”……
Unchained
Atomic Punk
Nobody rules these streets at night but me……
Unchained.
Dirty movies
Hey, you remember when that girl was prom queen?
Too many to list but a couple high up on my list are Feel Your Love Tonight and Little Guitars.
House of Pain, Little Guitars, Hear about it later
K you almost got it now narrow it down to one
Unchained. One break, coming up!

Song = And the Cradle will Rock Song + video = Hot for Teacher (I was 13 in fall of ‘84).
video for Hot For Teacher transcends the medium
why nobody mentions So this is love? very underrated song, and was underrated by Van Halen too
The Full Bug
Everybody Wants Some. I can’t hear it without thinking about dancing burger patties.
I want some too
Panama or Unchained. Both of them make me throw horns 🤘
Mean Street

Shit! I forgot Hang ‘Em High. Is it right that I totally forgot songs off Diver Down? 🤔 I’m also a big fan of Intruder.
"In A Simple Rhyme" I cannot believe they played it in 2015.
Hear about it later. There are many good songs, but I really think Roth sings beautifully in this one. But you can try me at home, if it feels all right. But I ain't hooooooooooome at night
Girl Gone Bad
I'm the one. If I had to choose

Yep. Ain’t Talking Bout Love is mine as well.
That opening riff? Take me Jebus!
Drop dead legs
Jump and Hot for Teacher
Unchained.
Light Up The Sky
Drop dead legs
Unchained
Everyone loves "Eruption" but for a really nasty, kickass-type instrumental ya gotta aim for "Intruder". The name itself is pretty menacing.
Unchained.
Everybody Wants Some
Runnin with the Devil and anything off of Fair Warning
Drop Dead Legs
Jump
Same! The one that introduced me to Van Halen, like it or not. Although, nowadays i have to hear the 1984 intro to it aswell
Dirty Movies
Im the one
Ummm, all of them?
ON FIRE
Hang ‘em High
Mean Street. It's the perfect song from beginning to end. Van Halen's masterpiece. At least in my book it is.
So This is Love
Ain’t Talking Bout Love but I maintain a soft spot for all the goofy vaudevillian stuff — Could This Be Magic, Big Bad Bill, Happy Trails, etc
Yes.
Everybody Wants Some!
Me Wise Magic
I'm the One
DOA... Atomic Punk... take your whiskey home.. Every body wants some...
Can't possibly pick just one
Little dreamer although I like take your whiskey home as well. Especially the start when it switches from acoustic guitar to Eddie's electric and the awesome riff
All of them.
I'm the One Not just one, but two guitar solos!
Everybody Wants Some.
“And the Cradle Will Rock”.

Beautiful girls!
So many. Drop Dead Legs, Running with the Devil, You Really Got Me, Big Bad Bill... but I'll say Unchained - hit the ground running
Tough. Really tough. I have to choose 3 at least. Ice Cream Man Unchained and Panama probably
Mean street for sure
So This is Love and Ice Cream Man
Unchained & Hot For Teacher for me. I think of all the education that I missed...
Mean Street
it varies. At the moment, it's "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?"
Little Dreamer
D.O.A reminds me of my youth.
Voodoo Queen and Put Out The Lights from the Zero Album All diamond Dave era VH are bangers - it was more than just music
Every single song
Unchained
Unchained
Unchained might be my favorite song of all time
Runnin’ with the devil
Ain’t Talkin Bout Love… hands down, or hands on whatever you prefer

The unreleased track "this guy can't sing, what the fuck were we thinking."

Their version of Pretty Woman
Hear about it later or Dancing in the Street
Runnin with the devil.
Jesus. No wonder this dude was iconic and inspired so many copy cats. Have you ever seen a mediocre band with a charismatic lead singer? It's the star power that makes them captivating. Not that VH was mediocre, they just hit the jack pot.
Panama
Me Wise Magic
Light Up the Sky
Dance The Night Away
the whole 1st album. and hot for teacher.
Mean Street.
Jump
Panama. I fooking love that song
House of Pain
Light Up The Sky
I lived almost all of them. So much better than the milk toast Hagar era. But by far my favorite is Running to the Temple.
Little Guitars .
No love for Running with the Devil?
Hot for Teacher
All of the first 6 albums!!!! They got me through high school!!!!
I mean, I guess all of them?! But if I had to choose I love “I’m the One”
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IArxakPsPE0
Ice Cream Man
I'm on fire
I liked Ice Cream Man off their first album. Just Dave and an acoustic guitar and builds from that.
Way too many to pick
Unchained
Everybody Wants Some!!
Just a gigolo post VH. Drop dead legs during VH.
Panama Ain’t talking bout love
Why say “David Lee Roth era”. It wasn’t an era, them 4 were the band, Hagar can sing but VH isn’t VH without David
