#7 Queen
El oh el.YellowSnow said:
I like Queen fine and they had some great songs, but they just don't do it for me in the way the Diamond Dave era VH does. I've played the shit out of all of the first 6 VH records to the point of wearing out the grooves figuratively speaking, of course (my TT is set up perfectly with a tracking force of 1.75 grams).Doog_de_Jour said:No judgement, but I’m kinda surprised @GrundleStiltzkin and @YellowSnow voted for Van Halen.

#7 QueenI was born long after Mercury died and Queen is just better. Die

#7 QueenIf this had been between Queen and Diamond Dave's Van Heflin, I'd have trouble choosing. But, in the end, Queen never hired fucking Sammy Hagar.

I get the Van Hagar hate but Sammy had a great solo career in the 70's and made my final play list with three songsBearsWiin said:If this had been between Queen and Diamond Dave's Van Heflin, I'd have trouble choosing. But, in the end, Queen never hired fucking Sammy Hagar.
And one of the best ever Live from Darryl's Place
Queen is meh. I remember when they came out and a friend was raving about them. I pointed out that they were nothing special -
#7 Queen
Nothing in Sammy's solo career comes close to being as good as Rock Candy. He's better when somebody else writes his material.RaceBannon said:

Hagar got better when he joined Van Heflin. Van Heflin got worse when he joined them.
Never really liked Queen as a kid. We'd go to Europe and see their concert poasters plastered all over the place, and I could never figure it out. I like Queen more the older I get, same with Bob Seger. -

#3 Van HalenWow - the gayme is tied up 20-20 with less than 24 hours to go. So far, I've only had to use my tie breaking skillz once which is a good thing.

#3 Van HalenI like Queen, but their greatest hits album does not come close to how comprehensive Van Halen's is from the DLR years. A lot of people in here need some perspective.
