    "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" or "Unchained"?

    Tough choice, but I'm giving the nod to ATBL. The brownsound
    is strong with that one Obi Wan.

    This might be sacrelige but "ATBL" has never been a song that did anything for me.

    I know some people rate it highly but I don`t know why.

    It`s probably my least favourite song off "Van Halen".

    "Unchained" on the other hand is the shit.

      Unchained is a rock classic from Van Halen with a great opening riff by Eddie which is better than ATBL!!!

        Unchained by miles. Even EVH thought ATBL was a stupid song when he wrote it. The opening riff is cool, but I think it is Dave who saves that one.

            ATBL is my choice. I love that opening! The solo is cool, Daves voice rocks.

                  I would have to give the nod to UNCHAINED, but ATBL is a kick ass tune. Listen to Ed workin the flanger in the middle of ATBL when they slow the song down. Guitarist's didn't have a clue what this young guitar wizard was doing at the time. The sounds he was coming up with using stomp boxes was way ahead of it's time. To bad he is just a shell of what he once was.

                    Unchained has to be the definitive Van Halen riff. Powerful as hell with a very positive upbeat feel to it. But what I like about ATBL is the dynamics; the way the song goes from distorted to clear and loud to quiet. That sound too, which is actually an electric sitar! Amazing! One of my all time favourites, this song really moves me I have to say.

                      ATBL was the first full Van Halen song i learned. The band i use to be in even played it at skewl, such a great day that was. But im goin to have to go with Unchained. The opening riff on that song is great!! Even the verse riff, and Daves voice man!!! Both great songs, but Unchained all the way

                        Gotta go with Unchained...That awesome crunchy guitar riff with Eddie using that MXR Flanger....This song still stands up as a hard rock/heavy metal classic and always will!!!

                          Unchained. I love when the drums and bass kick in. Atbl is great too!

                            Unchained is the best song Van HALEN ever recorded.
