Don't dislike him, but never took to any of his music. Sorry can't vote in this one.

I could have put "Swept Away" and "I've Done Everything For You".

I have a neat acoustic version of Sammy doing that latter song in a duet with Rick Springfield (who had a big hit with it).  I loved the exchange after:  "Rick, why do you think you had more success with that song?"    "Well, Sammy, because I'm better looking than you.  You have the better voice, by far, but I'm better looking!"    But he said it in a really cool, fun, busting-my-own-balls kind of way, and it was a good moment.

Interesting that this includes Montrose songs but not "Van Hagar" songs.

There's Only One Way to Rock is really the only Hagar song (other that songs on 5150 and FUCK) that I'd go out of my way to listen to.

^^ Actually, that's a good song, in my opinion, and not just because of the title.  (Shaka Doobie)

My suspicion was that the Van Hagar songs would dominate, and I thought it would be more fun to see which songs people like the most from his solo career and Montrose.

Says something that 23 out of 25 songs have at least one vote, and a couple not listed have multiple votes.

Admittedly, I'm not really familiar with any of Hagar's solo work.

So for the purposes of the poll I picked:


Heavy Metal
There's Only One Way To Rock
I Can't Drive 55

All great songs.

I also would pick Bad Motor Scooter, but I clicked "Vote" before I checked it.


To close out my Top 6..

I've Got The Fire (Still might be my all time favorite Iron Maiden cover song.)
Who Has The Right(Kwyjibo sent this to me in my roulette and it won the round.-Great song!)



would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Probably agree with you on that one, love IM"s cover of that song and I don't care for pretty much any of their cover songs.  This one is fantastic. Both the recorded version with Bruce and the Maiden Japan live version with Paul Dianno  :metal

That is a good song!  I didn't include it, though, since it is kind of obscure.

Also, the first time I heard Through My Words from Scenes, it reminded me of the piano melody in this song.

It didn't hit me right off during my roulette, but holy crap, that is dead on.

I forgot about "I've Got The Fire".  Good call.
