Dance the Night Away

That is my choice. What is yours?

Nothing like a shot of Tequila and then some beers to chase it down.
Happy 4th to all and God Bless America.

You know i was thinking atomic punk, but then Mean Streets popped into my head. I'm going with that one.

What's that one where he says "I catch one whif and I hit the roof"

It's about pie...one one of the early-mid albums.

Running with the devil.

But your choice is a pretty good one, esp for not being on their first album which is one of the best albums ever made.

damn um, Little Guitars, In a Simple Rhyme, Mean Streets...

Impossible to pick a single best.

With Roth......Unchained or Bring Your Whiskey Homel

With Hagar......Cabo Wabo or Black and Blue

I saw Van Halen when Women and Children First was released...........one of the best concerts I ever saw.

Posted: 7/1/2005 4:00:45 PM EDT

With Roth---Dance the Night Away.
With Hagar---Dreams.

Van Halen is NOT Van Hagar.

Damn, I have evey one of VH albums but I'll have to agree with this one.
Nights that I feel like really ROCKIN OUT.... I'll start with this one and then Led Zepplin's
"GOOD TIMES BAD TIMES". Then maybe after that "CHILD in TIME" by Deep Purple. After that Aerosmith's"Toy's in the Attic".
Those are KICK ASS rock songs!!!!
Edit; How about Satriani, SURFIN' with the ALIEN!!!!
Sorry. Went a lttle off topic but...... When your ROCKIN.....you think of "What's the next album?"

"The Full Bug"

Looks just like an angel, but he just talkin' trash
You make conversation, but she's listening to your cash
Takers need a giver, this much we understand
All I wanna give you woman
Is the best part of a man.

Happy Trails
(Words by Dale Evans)

Nmmmmmm dip dip Mmmmnnnnmm
Bum-ba-deeda-bum-ba-deeda bum-ba-deeda bum-ba-deeda (continued throughout)

Happy trails to you
Until we meet again
Happy trails to you
Keep smilin' until then

Who (Ooh-ooh) cares about the clouds when we're together
Just (Ahh-ahh-ahh) sing a song and think 'bout sunny weather

(two, three)
Happy trails to you
'Til we meet again

"Everybody want's Some"

I like the way the line runs up the back of the stocking....

First, we must distinguish between Van HALEN and Van HAGAR.

So...who WASN'T ....HOT for Teacher

My god...she had it goin'on........"pant...pant...pant"

I think "Little Guitars" is a pretty solid choice. But then, I like all their earlier stuff with Diamond Dave. Don't get me wrong, I like some of the Hagar stuff too. But David Lee Roth is one of the best front men rock has ever seen.

"Sinner's Swing" -- Fair Warning

"Simple Rhyme" -- Women and Children First

Posted: 7/1/2005 7:30:50 PM EDT

Drop Dead Legs.

Mean Streets.

Best album was Fair Warning.

Posted: 7/1/2005 7:36:27 PM EDT

[#41]

Pretty much any song off the first album. For those that were around then, that album sounded different than anything else that was out at the time.

Eddie and his fingerboard tapping had never been heard before.
