Just yesterday in the office we were listening to OU812. They do have some good stuff. In HS they were my #1 band.
Which begs the question - Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth? For me, its Sammy all the way. |

I love Van Halen's song, "More than Words." Very romantic...

VH is good, but Archaea speaks the truth here.

So what are the criteria? How are we to judge the greatest band?

After all these years, I have to say it's between the Stones and the Beatles, neck and neck.
I must have grown up in the nadir of rock and roll. None of my old favorite bands have aged well. The Doobie Bros., The Eagles, Elton John, America, Loggins & Messina, Jethro Tull. Bleck! I can't bear to listen to any of them. I like Neil Young and still could enjoy him, but someone told me he's really, like Dylan, a '60's phenomenon.

I think choosing the greatest band ever is very hard unless you define the criteria. Are we talking live perfromances? Beatles lose and Springsteen vaults very high. Are we tlakign recorded perfromances? Beatles leap back up and other groups like Steely Dan suddenly show well. SO it all depends on what we are talkign about. Eiother way, and I do admire Eddy's gyuitar work, Van Halen does not make my perosnla top 5 (and this is coming from a guy who was in a band that covered almost every song from their first two albums, so I know early VH pretty well).
