I would have said VH without listening to your offerings, because I seem to remember them as being pretty good. Having just listened to them, and Metallica, I can say truthfully, that they suck. Metallica can at least carry a tune which may induce me to listen to some more of them.<BR/><BR/>BTW, check your tomatoes post, you can ripen them but not on the window sill.Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052896.post-49375793544440344812008-09-19T13:37:00.000-04:002008-09-19T13:37:00.000-04:00We are talking EARLY VH.The thing is, their best w...We are talking EARLY VH.<BR/>The thing is, their best work was in the first years, with DLR. Now, based on my impressions, whereas DLR is the best singer for VH, I wouldn't want to party with him--he seems obnoxious. On the other hand, whereas Sammy Hagar is a good singer, his VH work is not as good, BUT I would party with Sammy anyday.<BR/>Wikipedia says DLR rejoined the band in the last year for some tours.....guess the guys hadn't saved much and maybe needed a few bucks.gary rithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228113061045717115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052896.post-63236499468210931302008-09-19T13:27:00.000-04:002008-09-19T13:27:00.000-04:00I'm late to this poll, but I vote Van Halen!
