Best Sammy Hagar Solo Release!

[whiplash1972]

I think alot of people kind of overlook Sammy's solo stuff, but the man has put out some SMOKING releases....particularly "Standing Hampton" through "I Never Said Goodbye". He was hitting on all cylinders at that point of his career.

[Blue Charvel]

VOA all the way for me.

[Bubbasmama]

Which one has "Mas Tequila" on it? Looooove that song!!!

[Evil Rick]

Three Lock Box was the first Sammy cd I ever owned so I had to go with it.

 

Funny (ie: stupid) story, we had a patient named Bopp who was possibly going to have surgery but we weren't sure so I asked the doc "want to pre-op Bopp?" and thus had "One, Two, Three Lock Box" stuck in my head the rest of the day.

[Rockhead]

You missed off All Night Long/ Live Loud and Clear. Sammy is always best live and this release was outstanding from start to finish-In my all time top 10.

[SEYHEYKID]

I voted for Standing Hampton but Ten 13 is right up there....and yes Sammy is at his best live,I have seen him about 12 times and he never has disappointed........................

Red Voodoo has that particular track MJ!!

 

I really like all the Sammy albums but Marching to Mars is a killer song and album. I would choose it as my favorite all around Sammy solo disk. Check out his DVD releases too as he puts on a great show live!

Three Lock Box

Standing Hampton for me aswell.

As whiplash states "A smoking release"

Speaking of Sammy is always best live, I think Red Hot! is very good, too. Although, the front cover/insert looks very cheaply done, this will point you to different albums of Sam for you to hunt for. And I still hear "Rock 'N Roll Weekend" in my local classic rock station.

[Chris]

VOA all the way for me.

I agree.....

I'm actually surprised it got as many votes as it did!

[Deenfan]

Great Poll, guys. I'm gonna use it as a guideline when I'm starting to dig into Hagar material. I love his voice. So, I'll start off with STANDING HAMPTON, whatever that means...

[headbanger4life]

I'm going with VOA (followed closely by I Never Said Goodbye). All of Sammy's stuff rawks though. I think he was always overlooked until he joined VH.

[Kip]

Red Voodoo for me, but I don't particularly hate any of his albums so I wouldn't argue anyone's choice.

[gener8tr]

STANDING HAMPTON, I.M.O. is not only Sammy's greatest solo venture, it's one of the greatest hard rock releases of all time.

 

That's right, I said it, and I mean it. It's AWESOME in every way!

 

Ranks right up there with Back In Black as far as "lasting" albums go.

[Metal Pete]

Good to see that most folks put Standing Hampton where it belongs! Lately I am really enjoying 10-13 though, that is a darn fine release!

Sammy rules.

[66 mustang]

I must check out Standing Hampton

[aXe mAn]

Sammy Hagar had a very good solo career!

My favorite album would have to be... "Standing Hampton"!

"There's Only One Way To Rock", & "Heavy Metal" are great!

 

In second, would be "I Never Said Goodbye". Followed by "VOA"

[aMetalhead1966]

I really like Ten-13...Red Voodoo is really good also....but my pick is

Ten-13...

[66 mustang]

the one thing I think we can say is that Sammy didn't need VH to be successful while DLR really needed VH to be successluf. after his first few solo albums DLR just kind of faded while pre and post VH has been kind to Hagar.

[eaglesfan3000]

I went with VOA only because it has Two Sides Of Love my favorite SH tune, but I thought Standing Hampton is much more consistent.

[shamus]

Danger Zone for me.

[nyoilers]

How did I miss this great poll ? Standing Hampton for me !

[Stefan]

My first experience of solo Hagar was 'I Never Said Goodbye'. So I go with that one.
