I just noticed I have every Van Halen album on my compy -- I must have ripped my brother's albums -- so I'm gonna take all the suggestions here, and make a compilation.

Damn near the same for me! If ever we ended up on a road trip together at least I know the tunes would great.

 

A few changes I'd make are swapping I'll Wait for Little Guitars, So This Is Love for Sinner's Swing, Runnin'... for In A Simple Rhyme.

 

On the Van Hagar side I'd swap Enough for Love Walks In...I also need to have Mine All Mine on that list somewhere.

 

But I love all your picks! And your favorite tunes from each era are also my favorite tunes from each one.

You consider 'The dream is over' an inspiro rocker? Ha, to each their own and their own interpretation, I guess. I never got an inspiro vibe at all... if anything, a slightly melancholy/"darker" vibe. Great song, either way.

lol, I think you're grasping at straws with this one. ;) "dream another dream," (happy, inspirational if you want to be positive) "this dream is over" (oh, sadness. Weep, weep cry).

All right here it goes - Tattoo, She's The Woman, Big River..... hahahaha joking guys :D

 

Top ten Van Halen songs for me:

 

Mean Street

Hear About It Later

Jamie's Cryin

Feel Your Love Tonight

Ice Cream Man

Panama

I'll Wait

Women In Love

You're No Good

You Really Got Me

House of Pain (forgot this one, shame on me! so it's 11 tracks screw it)

 

 

Some tracks were AMAZING live judging from old videos (like Romeo Delight and Dance The Night Away) but not that great on record so I didn't include them. And I do like the Sammy Hagar era, it's just that I don't like the best Hagar songs as much as I like the best DLR songs so there ya go

    • I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.  
    • Yep, cracking indie release of which there are so many but this one is actually really good.
    • I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here  
    • Babymetal - Metal resistance Babymetal - The other one
    • Enjoyed their last cd "Human Nature" remind me of a mellower Black Stone Cherry, similar to Little Caesar.
    • BlackRain - Hot Rock Time Machine Lee Aaron - Bodyrock
    • Now theres a blast from the past  I'm lucky enough to possess 
    • Another i'm still awaiting the arrival of...same day release/delivery my arse Amazon  Still this is sounding like their best release thus far...they are gaining and getting better...although I did enjoy the last few albums also...but the sound/production from this one is excellent.
    • Still awaiting mine to arrive...should've been on Weds  or according to my order that was the case anyway  
    • Yeah, there is a definite push on the re-releasing of their stuff this last wee while by them for some reason.
