I put ballad in quotations because none of the VH tunes are really what I'd call a ballad. But, what slow VH song is your fave?
I have to go with "Secrets". Great guitar, great vocals, and some of Dave's best lyrics.
Of course this poll is open only to the first six albums....I'd say anyone nominating a fucking Sammy tune should be kicked in the nuts, but a Sammy fan wouldn't have any.
Little Dreamer? Would that count as a ballad?? I don't see any "ballads". Jamie's Cryin'??
Who the hell knows?

Angel Eyes...
1. Secrets
2. Women in Love
3. Little Dreamer
Angel Eyes
Little Guitars (I consider this a love ballad)
I like Van Halen more than Dave's PA Rental.....which means I like Van Halen more than you
"YOU JUST BUILD BIKES!"
secrets, woman in love, little dreamer and maybe even if it can be considerd a ballad i`ll wait.
Secrets of course. Not only their best 'ballad' but one of their best songs too.
Achtung Baby I say, I say...

Secrets hands down. Great song and I always dug it live.
Someone told me that Jamie's Cryin' was about rape? I am probably very wrong tho...
Diamond Dave Is Van Halen. 'Nuff Said
Yep, I agree. Live it was fantastic. Alot of the songs off Diver Down really came alive when played live.Originally posted by Bill Lumbergh

Women in Love... Never saw it as a ballad... One of the top 3 songs from Van Halen if you ask me!!
once-vh3
...wrong answer housofpain... got an awesome name, but you like the wrong stuff... you wont last here!
Van Halen is or was not an ballad band. But when you have to choose, then i choose once. at least its not with Mr.hagar.....
i like women in love
little dreamer!
i started a thread about this song a while back.
i think its the most underrated song by VH.
rape? Isn't it random sex -- ya know, one night stands?Originally posted by Atomic_Rob

Van Halen never did ballads. Only those cunts from Van Hagar.
I don't think there are any ballads in the Roth era. I think even Secrets is too cool of a tune to be labelled as a ballad. Ballads are highly emotional gush.

\Bal"lad\
To make or sing ballads. a sentimental
or romantic poem in short stanzas.
in his best Tom Hanks voice from League of Their Own
There's no romance in Classic Van Halen!!!!
anyone who says any different is a Hagar fan...a fag...or thinks they are surfing through an Air Supply site...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
Chances are...it's all of the above...
Nonsense. Sure there is: 'Little guitars', 'Secrets' and 'I'll Wait' hey even 'Jump'. those aren't exactly ballads but they are not out and out rockers either.
You obviously missed this:

Although not a slow song, In a Simple Rhyme would be my vote. Great song, too...
Yo Yo Yo
Well I would have to say I'll Wait. Even the lighter edged material they did with Roth kicks the shit out of VanHagar tunes that tried to rock.
Women In Love is also a great tune.
I'll go for "Angel Eyes"...
Women in Love rocks too, but personally i don't think it's a ballad...
"With a rate of fire of over 20 rounds per second, the IMI Micro Uzi is almost as fast as Yngwie Malmsteen, and 25.4 times more musical"
Worst of all... It's true..
"Everybody Wants Some!!!"
It puts the "ball" in "ballad".
Jamie's Cryin' is about a chick whose boyfriend asked her to put out. She didn't, he went out without her now she's sitting home all alone miserable cos he's out with someone else. I think.Originally posted by Atomic_Rob

And I agree, the demo tune "Angel Eyes" is a beautiful song. Not what you'd normally expect from Dave. May be why they never could fit it on a VH album.
