Van Hagar was the best lineup

Sacrilege!

While I'll agree with your points, I'll undercut you by saying that the songs under Hagar sucked. I'd much rather they'd just quit after "1984". "5150" was okay, but the rest just stank, from a songwriting and performing point of view, IMO. I won't even say that it's Sammy's fault. In fact, I'm sure that it's Eddie's fault. But that doesn't make it suck any less.
