Comments on: The 80′s…Our Way – Episode 94 http://check12check12.com/the-80s-our-way-episode-94 Not your average podcast...Just way better than radio!

Sure they sold a lot of records with Van Haggar, but the music of Van Halen with Roth captures a spirit of rock that was so instrumental (no pun intended) in carrying the big rock band menatality of the 80's. Van Haggar...90's tech rock....Van Halen, definitely Rock, and probably in the top 5 to 10 of rock bands of the era. Van Haggar is a pop band at best....

I've seen 'em both. The original lineup rocked harder, but I did truly enjoy Sammy - the sound was cleaner and rocked pretty good. Saw Sammy in Mexico at the Cabo Wabo w/his band and surely enjoyed him with his own band and music than him signing David Lee Roth hits. Keep the great music coming - sounds great!

You know, I'm going to have to go with Hagar. David Lee Roth was so obnoxious.I know, I know...I'll probably get drug over the coals for it, but I just think the music was better with Sammy. That said, this is definitely one of my favorite episodes of the show. Can't wait until next week. And thanks for playing my two songs. :) Van Halen…wow this is a tough question because both guys totally rocked it out. You know, I’m going to have to go with Hagar.
