    Your fave VH cover?

    Everything they touched - including "Happy Trails" - they made their own. But what to you is their most redefining, panty-wetting, fuckin' BEST cover of Classic Halen?

          Of the ones on your list, gotta go with "You Really Got ME". My all-time favorite is "Where have All the Good Times Gone".

                  Really? Where have all the Good Times Gone? Huh. Who knew...

                  (I like it, but not as much as some of the other choices in the poll. One of my favorite ed solos, though. And I actually don't know the Kinks original to compare it to)(You Really Got Me, however, by slowing it down, VH redefined it, and also foudn the songs true groove)

                    The same people that know about what they are talking about or take the time to read liner notes.

                    DLR7884
                    I think it's their best cover, by the way.

                      You're No Good.

                      The VH cover of this song is one of the best covers ever, IMO.

                          "You Really Got Me" has to be the sentimental favorite if you can call it that.

                          "You're No Good" and "Where Have All The Good Times Gone?" are equally as good....

                          "You're No Good" is a really good treatment of the material...the intro, building to the yelps....dynamic to put it mildly.

                          ...."used to be I couldn't sleep at night baby"....
