The VERY BEST OF THE BEST HITS. Was the ORIGINAL BAND! By Far David Lee Roth sang the better ULTIMATE HITS! Van Halen 1 and 2 and Fair Warning. Were way better than any songs or Albums Sammy sang in. ➕🥇🏆

The Diamond Dave period was the ultimate Van Halen. Totally agree.

I could never understand 'Jump' out popularizing prior songs, ESPECIALLY from the first album.

[@VanielDeeform]

Because it was timed perfectly. They had built up and it was their most bright, fresh and most accessible song. It resonated most and lifted people's spirits. It was also a crossover song in that appealed to fans of different types of rock, electronic music, pure pop and people of all ages unlike previous releases had at that point. Plus the music video on Mtv was fun and a triumph. They had established themselves by then and primed themselves commercially, which was not the case on their first album out the gate.

David Lee Roth sucked. I loved the music but hated him. He is awful live trying to dance. Sammy was the perfect fix

[@graysonmichael8335]

ugh to each his own i guess. i couldnt get into one song from van hagar

[@Mncrr]

Roth was the narcissist in front of the talent.

[@glengamble526]

He wrote the lyrics and melodies to all of these great songs-get your head out of your ass.

[@Mncrr]

@@glengamble526 Hagar was way more talented. Roth was a showman little more.

[@glengamble526]

@@Mncrr not the point-you called him ‘untalented’ which is true-Dave was an excellent songwriter. And VH sold waaaay more records with Roth-almost twice as many, actually.
So… nice try.

[@Mncrr]

@@glengamble526 who cares. Roth is still an asshole. And to try to compare talent based on sales is misleading. Hagar is one of the great vocalists of all time and according to a documentary the Van Halen brothers didn’t think Roth was a good enough singer at first. Michael Anthony had a better voice but no front man charisma.
