    wow, this really is a hard task, picking just one of all of these great songs: Van Halen Song List | Tune List

    but in the end I must stick to Eruption, simply for that out of this world guitar playing.

    "Little Guitars" Only Van halen can play a song like that.Rock intro, swing guitars and romantics vocals!

    'Best' is a hard category to apply to music.

    That being said, 'Romeo's Delight' would be a good call. Why? Because it encapsulates everything that was great about CVH in 3 minutes - the energy, the great lyrics, the insane guitar playing.......what more do you want?

    Perhaps some heavy metal without the dark tones if that is possible.

    You will want to see this vid.

    For me, Romeo Delight and Unchained are what VH sound like...

    What song always makes it on your burnt VH CD, for me, Tora Tora, Loss of Control & Fools, it takes me back to 1980 and being 16 again

    How about "Hear About It Later"? I have goosebumps everytime I listen to this track. Dave's scream in the intro makes me crazy. Al's syncopated fill-ins are great. I don't think Mike is a good bassist, but listen to the pumping bassline, it gives such a powerfull background for Ed's solo. And last but not least - the riff is just pefect. This is the definition of Van Halen as a real band.

    I answered this one 5 years ago ??? Fuck...

    Its still one of those questions where if you
    named "a song" a day later it would be
    different...

    As of this moment in time I think "Light up the Sky"
    is the heaviest greatest song from CVH...

    Tomorrow, it will be different.. Question too hard
    to compute.

    Technically, its Jump.

    And as much as I love the heavier, darker tracks.
    Jump always cheers me up.... They were number
    1 worldwide at that point....
    BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
    Love ya Mary Frances!

    Tough question...put a gun to my head and I'll say 'Unchained or Romeo Delight', then pull the trigger, because I'm NOT fuckin' pickin'!

    Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

    It's definitely either Dirty Movies or Girl Gone Bad. I narrowed it down to two - you can pick from there.

    And I know taken is spelled with an E but thought it looked cooler with an I. So now everyone knows where my moniker came from. Not that anyone gives a shit.
