Would you rank any of Dave’s solo albums above the Classic 6 pack? I surely would. To me, DLR Band and A Little Ain’t Enough are leaps and bounds better than VHII, WACF, and Diver Down. Hell, if ALAE had an Eddie caliber guitarist, it would be better than ANY VH release.
Which Dave solo releases top CVH?

whoa, tough stretch here Viv. There are glimmers on some of Daves solo stuff, but IMO nothing matches the power of Classic VH!! I do agree that if some of that stuff had been recorded with VH it would have been that much better, but....those 6 albums were leaps and bounds above everything else that was out at the time...any of which if released TODAY, would still be as powerful as they were in 78,79,80,81,82 or 84, they were just that damn good!! -
I believe in my heart of hearts that Eat Em And Smile was the best record Roth ever did...period.Comment

With the exception of Diamond Dave and Crazy From The Heat, ALL of Dave's solo CDs are better than Diver Down.
Skyscraper and Filthy Mouth are better than WACF and VHII."Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass: go home, the earth is full." DLRComment

EEAS is Dave's worst, with the exception of DD and CFTH."Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass: go home, the earth is full." DLRComment

Classic VH was more than the sum of their parts and for that reason they are better than Roth solo... Roth just took the EEAS band to a "similar" level - but it lacked that special "something".

I'm with 'ya Carmine. The only music EVER to come close to CLASSIC VAN HALEN is LED ZEPPELIN. Nothing else.
Although I agree classic Van Halen and Led Zeppelin are the greatest rock bands of all time, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were as good, possibly better."Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass: go home, the earth is full." DLRComment
