What is the best and worse song on each Van Halen album?
Notes:
Best Of Compilations DON'T count.
DON'T say the album has NO good songs or bad song choose the best of the best or least offensive
ONLY one choice, sometimes this is hard but only ONE
Intros/Interludes DON'T count (DON'T select 1984, Intruder, Sunday Afternoon In The Park or other such non-sense)
Van Halen Best I'm The One
Van Halen Worse Little Dreamer
Van Halen II Best Light Up The Sky
Van Halen II Worse You're No Good
Women And Children First Best In A Simple Rhyme
Women And Children First Worse Fools
Fair Warning Best Hear About It Later
Fair Warning Worse Push Comes To Shove
Diver Down Best Little Guitars
Diver Down Worse Secrets
1984 Best Girl Gone Bad
1984 Worse Jump
5150 Best 5150
5150 Worse Love Walks In
OU812 Best Mine All Mine
OU812 Worse A Apolitical Blues
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Best Judgement Day

There is such a thing as a bad Van Halen tune?
ok... I might agree with the 'How Many Say I', but there are several albums I would't dare place any song into the worst category. |

Can't you say say the one that is just not as appealing as the others? I really like Spanked but just not as much as the others from that album. |

You know what amazes me as I look at the votes for best and worse? Most of the worse votes have been highly successful songs. To say "Jump" for instance is the worst song on MCMLXXXIV is ridiculous. The rich get richer and the poor get jealous.
VH BEST-Ain't Talikn Bout Love
VH WORSE-Ice Cream Man
VHII BEST-Dance The Night Away
VHII WORSE-Outta Love Again
WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST BEST-And The Cradle Rock...
WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST WORSE-Could This Be Magic?
FAIR WARNING BEST-Mean Street
FAIR WARNING WORSE-Push Come to Shove
DIVER DOWN BEST-Little Guitars
DIVER DOWN WORSE-Dancing In The Street
MCMLXXXIV BEST-Hot For Teacher
MCMLXXXIV WORSE-Girl Gone Bad
5150 BEST-Summer Nights
5150 WORSE-Inside
OU812 BEST-Mine All Mine
OU812 WORSE-A Apolitical Blues
F.U.C.K. BEST-Poundcake
F.U.C.K. WORSE-In N Out
BALANCE BEST- Deja Vu
BALANCE WORSE-Big Fat Money
