Hahaha, omg it was a joke. Not a Sammy Hagar fan except maybe w Montrose. And I don't know anyone who prefers Van Hagar. Original VH all the way.

Charted singles don't mean dick to me.

Sorry to get you riled. It was meant to be a joke.

Just loaded up the jukebox with classic jazz--Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and others.

Very nice

I actually prefer VanHagar. Early VH was just a wee bit before my time, admittedly, and I got into them in the Sammy era and then worked backwards with Ed's material. Never, ever cared for DLR as a vocalist or as a person.

Sammy just wasn't my thing except as the vocalist in Montrose. And I wasnt some huge Montrose fan but in VH or solo, I couldn't care less. I prefer DLR in VH. I don't know him "as a person".

I listen to a LOT of stuff that's before my time. My parents were 19, 20, 21 in the Bay Area in the late 60s when all that great music and culture was taking off. My dad was at Monterey Pop and saw Jimi, Janis, The Stones with Brian Jones (the show where Keith got electricuted and taken to the same hospital where my mom was born) and many others. So I've been listening to all this great music since I was born.

Ironically I've seen Van Hagar and never got to see Van Halen. Right after their 1st album. Had a friend back in the day who's mother was married to the owner of the local CocaCola and had a box at our main arena. So I saw many concerts that way; free tix, box, often times in the Coke limo or in her mother's 380SL. Man, we thought we were the shit! And it was a fun show! But I still prefer Van Halen.

That friend and another friend in our clique had this same running argument. And it was the one with the tickets and the perks of CocaCola who preferred DLR! Man, that seems like 100 years ago. Good times!

CHEERS
