Poll: Best song on Van Halen II

[Matt White]

CLASSIC LP from start to finish............

gave the nod to WOMEN IN LOVE..............LUTS also beyond GREAT............

Unsung gem? Everybody knows the Pop appeal of DANCE & Beautiful Girls....YOU'RE NO GOOD is STELLAR.....never makes me think of LR!

[rocking ron]

I can't understand some people are still saying and thinking VH II is made out of some 'left-overs' from their first album, BULLSHIT!!

This is still such a 'feel-good' album and that many great different songs, under rated by many fans, BULLSHIT, I'm happy they'll play a lot of stuff from VH II this tour!!!

My favourite song, : YOU"RE NO GOOD!!!

[fourthcoming]

Heard Your No good on the radio today....it was tasty.......D.O.A. is my choice for VH II .............maybe their heaviest tune ever.

[Light Em' Up!]

In my opinion, which many of you already know, Light Up the Sky is the best Van Halen song EVER!

I can't understand some people are still saying and thinking VH II is made out of some 'left-overs' from their first album, BULLSHIT!!

Well, technically it was..... pretty much the entirety of the first three albums was written between 73 - 77 and played live in the band's club days. But they're only "leftovers" in the sense that there's only so many songs you could fit on a slab of vinyl. If the 80 minute CD had been the standard format in 1978, all these songs would have been on the first album.

Doesn't make anything on VHII of lesser quality though. Hell, you could even argue it's better quality to some extent, because the band was more experienced in the studio by then. Even back in 1979, I remember reading reviews (which I happened to agree with) that said the rhythm section - Mike & Al - sounded better on the second album than the first.

Dance the Night Away for me.

[Yount]

You can really tell they'd learnt from the making of the first album. The 2nd album is the make or break

[rocking ron]

I always read in those Rock-magazines the 3rd album is the make or break...........

[Sensible Shoes]

Probably not the best but definitely my favorite - the first VH song I ever heard, of course I story I've told and retold.

[katina]

I am trying to pick a favorite since 1979.........

[binnie]

SGMAD.

That'll be in your head for a month.....

[Terry]

Picked Outta Love Again...but JUST by a hair.

D.O.A., Light Up The Sky, Somebody Get Me A Doctor, Women In Love and Bottoms Up in a 5-way tie for second.

[sadaist]

5-way tie .

LOL. 5-way tie. That sounds like everyones list for best of the 6 pack (minus Diver Down of course)

[SNIPER]

LUTS for sure. I knew that was a special one when I first discovered it at age 12. ...I actually like VH2 better than 1 a little bit.
