Sweet 16 (late 1970's to mid 1980's) - #3 Van Halen vs #7 Queen

I 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.

Wow - 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.

All this Queen love just tells me there is a disproportionate number of closeted fags on HH.

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.

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 songs

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

Nothing in Sammy's solo career comes close to being as good as Rock Candy. He's better when somebody else writes his material.

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.

*Rock Candy is one of the three

Your Love is Driving Me Crazy

I'll find Love Again

*Montrose track when Sammy was the lead/only singer - fun album

This whole album kicks ass and honestly predates Eddie Van Halen with the hot rodded out amplifiers
