| Dirty Movies is tops on my list as well. I have to add GIRL GONE BAD to that list. This is one of EVH's more challenging songs to play. Tricky timing and groove. |

| I love GGB, it's about the only song that I get excited to hear when listening to a 1984 show anymore. "Dirty Movies" too is a great song. Both are in my top 10 favorite VH songs. |

| For me it's Drop Dead Legs and In a Simple Ryhme, I love the way Eddie plays on DDL and the harmonies on Ryhme |

Wow, everyone picked my choices already! What a great question! I won't have too much Roth stuff because most of that is almost never underrated. :D
Light Up the Sky - if for nothing else than for the outro with those harmony vocals.
In a Simple Rhyme - oh those harmonies, VH's best! Plus you get Growth at the end just to throw everybody off.
Dirty Movies - a little bluesy, I like it when Ed does that.
Secrets - always underrated, it should have been the hit single that never was.
Drop Dead Legs - Ed multitracks to great effect, what a solo!
Feels So Good - guilty pleasure, what can I tell ya?
A Apolitical Blues - I know many fans have this on their Worst of List, but I always thought Ed's blues playing was killer on this track.
One Way to Rock (live) - killer duo guitar solos!
Crossing Over - how the heck did they leave the best song off of the domestic release of Balance? Ed's guitar work is unbelievable.
Humans Being - VH does what they do best - rock!
Me Wise Magic - I dunno, maybe I'm just excited Roth is back but this song just does something for me.
Without You - This stands up with anything else the band did. Gary gets shot down so much I figured I'd throw this in here.
It's About Time - killer riff from Ed and a great reunion song.
Learning to See - Heavy VH, I love it when they do that. |

| I think all of the choices thrown out there so far have been excellent, but I'm going to go with the most slammed Van Halen album and the most overlooked song ... Dirty Water Dog ... I love that song and I think it is a shame that the album gets such a bad rap. Yeah it has a lot of garbage but it also has a few golden nuggets. |

Most Overlooked: Hear About It Later
That song rules!!!
Other tracks that are too often overlooked are Dirty Movies, In A Simple Rhyme, & The Full Bug. |

| I'd have to go with "You're No Good" as it's one of my favorite solos. "Atomic Punk" is another good one. |
