They coulda picked something that wasn’t interchangeable Journey-REO-Van Hagar pap. ‘Can’t Stop Loving You’?! Gimme a break. Van Halen at its most lamentable - and I say that as someone who loves Van Halen.

One of Sammy’s best vocal performances. A very tough song to sing!

“Can’t Stop Loving You?”…Let’s just say a much cooler wake up in outer space would have been “I’m the One.”
