Well I know what I'll hear from the "EUAS'S" but both songs are similiar in a way that I can't describe. You know I was just sitting here thinking and good enough poped in my head but with yankee rose lyrics and went !oh sh*t! they go together? Think so? Well my choice of course would be good enough since I'm pro ed!

Yankee Rose. I would say good enough if Dave had sang it though.

Both songs are great tunes. I'm going with Yankee Rose because I think Dave's lyrics fit his personality better when singing it.

though i don't particularly like good enough, it's just not a song i listen to, i'd still take it over yankee rose... i'll take van halen's worst song, over roth's best (solo)... same goes for sammy hagar... never gotten into their stuff solo

I have to take Yankee Rose on this one. My reason is not because Dave sings Yankee Rose, but because Ed's guitar tone on 5150 is the worst he has ever had. I guess I can blame Don Landee for that, but it's just too damn clangy sounding. Good Enough is a good tune though.

I agree Halened Out!!! For some reason it seems like Yankee rose and Good enough are similiar songs, maybe they are the offspring of some Dave/Ed thing that never got off the ground. Which is better....flip a coin, Yankee Rose by a hair.

http://www.vhlinks.comAhh, the good ole days huh? :)

I think Vai's tone on Yankee Rose was weaker than EVH's on Good Enough. BUT, I would listen to Yankee Rose before Good Enough.

Note: I quoted a post from 2000. This is a thread from long ago. Interesting though.:devil:

Yankee Rose by a mile, not trying to be a basher but IMO that is not even in the top half of songs off of 5150. There are songs on 5150 better than Yankee Rose, but Good Enough isn't it.

Always brings up to me what would have happened in Dave's solo career if he had left Ted Templeman in charge of producing instead of him doing it himself on Skyscraper. Sheehan probably would not have left the band, and who knows what the future could have held.

Yankee Rose with VH playing it.

Those songs on Dave's album always sound thin to me...especially the guitar and drums. They don't even sound as big as old VH albums. The songs were good, but they sounded like a cheesy form of VH. Had VH done those first two or three solo albums of Dave's they would have kicked major ass.

I'll take Yankee Rose.

Still though, you're talking about the best song from EEAS vs. the fourth best song from 5150, IMO.

If I was asked this question 20 yrs ago it would have been Yankee Rose easy. These days I would pick Good Enough , that said with the exception of of Summer Nights,5150 & Good Enough I prefer Eat Em Smile. Then again I`m not to crazy about Goin Crazy and That`s Life and BOBW is great live , oh man don`t pay any attention to me I had these same converstions with myself in 1986 :drunk:

Really? I don't think Yankee Rose is anywhere near the best Dave solo tune, maybe his most well known, but in my humble opinion his deep tracks are much better than the songs he has decided to release.

I'd say Good Enough..I liked Yankee Rose alot when it came out but I really have no desire to listen to it these days..I still dig EEAS but there are other tracks on that cd that grab me. I've been blasting good enough for the last couple of weeks..

I just think that YR for the Diamond One is pure diamonds, you know? And you're right, it's probably the most recognized of all his songs.

'Good Enough' isn't the best song off 5150, nor is YR the best off EEAS but I've gotta go with VH over solo-Dave (...or EVH over Vai, Big Al over Bisonette and, without a doubt, Mikey over Billy Sheehan!)
I have to put my hands up, though, and admit that 'Just A Gigolo' was my karaoke theme tune for years during my mispent youth. Care to join me?...
