Poll: Best song on Van Halen II

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

Choose.

[FORD]

Gonna say Light Up The Sky for the Hell of it, but as far as I'm concerned, there are no lesser songs on any of the first 4 albums.

Somebody Get Me A Doctor!!!!! Shit...DOA I mean

[DONNIEP]

For sheer you-wanna-live-like-a-rockstar impact it's a toss up between Somebody Get Me A Doctor, Bottoms Up and Beautiful Girls. But for a fuck you, listen to this song it's got to be Light Up The Sky.

[chi-town324]

Light up the sky might be my favorite all time....

[DONNIEP]

If this don't make your big toe shoot up in your boot nothing will, I say...

This one's for Light 'Em Up

[DLR Bridge]

I love the "GOOD GOD!!" right before the drum brake.

[So this is love]

I prefer Women in love although I like LUTS...LUTS is the most overrated song on this board ....sorry...I would prefer if they'd play Secrets...Little dreamer or even So this is love in place of LUTS...but that just my opinion of course. Reason: I don't think Dave can deliver the version you guys expect...and I don't want to see any bad reviews from assholes who've never seen DLR at its prime.

Damn straight!! It's almost like being in a car and your best friend is driving and you just fucking know you ain't gonna make the next curve, but somehow you do. Then you toss out the empties and cruise the strip for the rest of the night, picking up chicks left and right. Isn't that what Van Fuckin' Halen was all about??? Goddamned right it was!

[vandeleur]

Luts ... No wait .... If I gotta go for one Luts but it will change next time I listen to it .

[Momshell]

I can never pick a favorite - I've even tried to do top 5's and top 10's and I just can't. I can tell you that that video gave me goosebumps!

[Yount]

DonnieP that audio of Light Up The Sky was Fucking Amazing! Did you hear the crowd?! Holy fuck!

[Yount]

But for me, Beautiful Girls or D.O.A.

Watching the acoustic version of beautiful girls on the DVD really brought it back for me. It's a beautiful song. Just a bum in the sun.

And D.O.A. because it stomps down your door and kicks you in the head after you get lulled into a false sense of security with Spanish Fly. And that ending... mmmm

Van Halen need to be given MORE credit for the order of the songs. They even proved themselves again with the new album. With DLR in the mix, the song order has been near perfect every album. VH II, a classic. The way that album ends is stellar, a sorely missed thing in the Sammy years (Inside, A apolitical blues, Feelin') MMMMMMWWWWWUUUUUUAAAAAA X

[Etienne]

Light Up The Sky. I always think that's how Black Sabbath should sound like. But there's more talent in VH imho.

[Zing!]

We're simpatico, DonnieP - you took the words right out of my mouth. I voted 'Bottoms Up!' only because Ed's solo at the end still melts my face off every time I hear it.
