Oh man... it would be so hard for me to pick. I like 'em all. I have to say, 'Comfortably Numb' always makes me so. And I have always been a sucker for Sir Edward - though Van Halen is another band whose music I have never owned. I remember one night feeling like a king because some girl told me I looked like Eddie (that was at the height of my hair days). Anyway, it's worth checking out.

Van Halen's reuniting! With Diamond David Lee Roth, even
Oh my googled stars! Will miracles never cease?
Jane and I saw them with Sammy Haggar a couple years ago (when they were in Fort Wayne). I actually thought they were alright. And Eddie was ripped for an old guy - still no shirt.
That first Farm Aid was "supposed" to be the first time Sammy sang with the V-boys. We were leaving when they came on and Sammy went into this foul-mouthed rampage. Rumor has it the Van Halen's didn't show (or something that effect).
Thanks for the news, Alex!
Hmm... Comfortably Numb... Comfortably Numb... it seems to me there's something I should be saying about that song... oh yeah, my favorite song, ever. Not in a "whatever you're talking about is my FAV EVER" schoolgirl kinda "OMYGOD!" way. I mean it is and it has been since I heard it the first time. Without clicking the link, I gotta go with that one. In 1994 I stood in the Hoosierdome and listened to it Live, the last song of the night, as the lasers simuluated the rotation of the room and a heavenly light emminated from the stage. That was a moment in my life.
Have a nice trip.
