This shouldn't be too hard since I only have 11 Sammy songs to begin with!:

Why Can't This Be Love
Poundcake
Can't Stop Loving You
Humans Being
Finish What You Started

Actually tougher than it seems - I like Runaround a lot too, and have been getting into Not Enough.

It's all over but the SHOUTING, I've come to take what's mine...

This is so hard! I know I'm going to want to change these later, but here goes, in no order:

5150 (LWAN) <-- The extended solo in this version rocks my world
CSLY <-- Poetry. I swear this song was written for me!
Runaround <-- FUCK rules because it has amazing all-out songs like this
Dreams <-- It's so beautiful!
Seventh Seal <-- A personal favorite

I'm not saying "Humans Being" because it was much more of an Eddie song than a Sammy song...dontcha think?

Humans Being is my favorite Sammy song. http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif

(Now some Dave fans would say that it's their favorite Sammy song because it was the last one he did with Van Halen, but that would be unkind. http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/wink.gif )

Some don't think Sammy sings the lyrics well, but to me, he's just spitting the lyrics out, you know? He's pissed and you can hear it. The chorus is beautiful.

It's actually epic when you think about all the turmoil within the band, the story behind the writing of the song, the music itself, I think I mentioned earlier the scream at the end... Wow... http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/eek.gif

I know Eddie was pushing to have the song made in the first place, but I don't think that makes the song "his."

In any event, it's amazing. http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/cool.gif

I think it's a great song too Down! I always thought of it as an "Eddie song" because I love it for the guitar playing on it.

1. The Dream Is Over - This tune smokes, killer intro, riffs & vocals.
2. Humans Being - Sammy is no longer in VH after a song like this? http://64.176.3.141/vhlforum/smilies/confused.gif http://64.176.3.141/vhlforum/smilies/cry.gif http://64.176.3.141/vhlforum/smilies/mad.gif
3. Judgement Day - Hell, if this doesn't give you goosebumps, what the hell does?
4. Don't Tell Me - The intro alone tells you this is a heavy tune, great song. Releasing this as the first single from Balance was brilliant.
5. 5150(LWAN) - I agree, this song kicked ass live & the solo is incredible.
