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.

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

Not as old as your parent but older than you. I'm not going to list all my creds but I think others can vouch I have a pretty good handle on things. BTW, I saw Jimi too.and Eddie playing in a back yard. The Coke limo sounds kinda cool, I mostly got in free because I knew someone or my Dad got me tics to SNL over the first 15 years. (he worked for NBC at 30 Rock).
 
Monday Morning Blues

They Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesdays Just As Bad)

T-Bone Walker a pillar of Electric Blues wrote this sometime between 1936-38 with 1938 being the most agreed upon year. A very early practitioner of the Electric Guitar he may have been playing one as early as 1935 and certainlt 1936 (B.B. King was 10 then) While 1938 might have beem when written T-Bone wasn't too sure of when he recorded it giving dates in 1940 and 41 but there is proof for a recording date of March 1942. Because of the war that session wasn't released untll late 1945 (1 song) and early 1947 (2 songs} one of them being Stormy Monday. 3 minutes of pure blues that never really got longer than 4:23 for any of his studio versions. 0thers turned it into the 8 minute plus opus we know today.
It took less than 20 years to become an American classic.
