Van Halen - lest we forget



A few comments re the mix tape in which both Tessa and Dan Carter beat themselves up for not suggesting a Van Halen track.

And so they should.

The mighty VH should be a staple on any upbeat mix.

However, controversially, I selected a track - 'Love Comes Walking In' (Love Walks In) - from when Sammy Hagar was on lead vocals.

In all honesty I sorta prefer him to David Lee Roth.

Sure, 'The Roth' served up 'Panama' and 'Jump', but the album '5150' with Hagar on vocals was mighty special.

Ain't that the great thing about music.

It divides.

But ultimately always conquers.

While 5150 is indeen a very fine album and prolly the last real Van Halen album (though OU812 was not bad), there was only one real VH, and that was with Diamond Dave up front.
