    What is the greatest Van Halen song????

    Purely subjective. What is the greatest Van Halen song?

    I know it is hard to pick just one, so I will give you three.

    My top three:

    Take Your Whiskey Home
    Push Comes to Shove
    Someone Get Me a Doctor

    I think Take your Whiskey home has it all...a fun acoustic intro, a smoking groove that was just made for a hot chick to dance/strip to, or to screw to, and two quick and sweet solos.

    Doctor has the coolest riffage of all Van Halen tunes, plus the killer harmonic trick.

    Push comes to Shove has arguably Eddie's greatest solo.

    My top three.

    Let's hear yours.

    Sleep. The sound doesn't collapse to riffs of early eyes either.

      For some reason, for the last week I can't stop playing the intro riff to "Little Dreamer" every time I pick up a guitar.

                    That's just impossible, so:

                    Rare is not the same as valuable
                    Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get
