checked this out this morning.
 
I have been a Van Halen fan for over 20 years. I spent the Summer of 1995 immersed in their catalog (along with oddly, Bruce Springsteen's).
 
I happen to really enjoy Diver Down (like you mentioned, Little Guitars stands out the most). ..I like their rendition of Pretty Woman, like most of their covers.  I'm not sure how many other people have done Roy Orbison's songs justice, but 1 that I can say has, only live, is Jimmy Gnecco or Ours version of "Crying." I'm a fanboy, but just on vocal range alone, he justifies singing that tune.
 
Looking forward to the next episode and Van Hagar, which I know many can't stand. I came to enjoy a little more than the Roth stuff (although it's kind of a push).
