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 am trying to decide between the Mitch Malloy era or the Gary Cherone era.

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

If you neeed a score card to keeop up with who the olead singer is, it isn't the greatest band.

It isn't "Hagar" or "Roth". Its Van Halen. As long as Eddie and Alex are there, they can still be on the ballot.

Van Halen isn't even in the same league as Led Zeppelin. Geeze, get with the program. man.

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.
