Joe’s Jams 09.16.08: Top Ten Van Halen Songs
Posted by Joe Rivett on 09.16.2008
10. Little Guitars – One of the advantages of Satellite Radio is that you do not hear the same five Van Halen songs. About a year ago I heard this song and it caught my attention due to its Latin sound. The title of this song describes the song perfectly as it sounds like Eddie is playing a lot of little guitars.
9. Unchained – I love this song because it is fun. David Lee Roth sounds like he is drunk and having a party in the middle of the song.
8. Dreams – I prefer Roth over Hagar but Hagar did have some serious pipes and showed them off in this song. It is a cheesy song but Sammy’s voice makes it one of Van Halen’s best.
