Favorite song from 5150

BOBW - 5150 a close second. I'm one of the few that's not a huge fan of the album.

Wow...bit of a landslide.

5150....Good Enough probably 2nd.

I bounce back and forth between Good Enough, Summer Nights, 5150, Love Walks In, quite a lot. I actually really like the whole record, although Get Up isn't a tune I seek out. One of the few VH platters I can listen to without looking for the the 'next' button on the remote.

That's the problem with that shit. My folks sent me the cassette. But once I really got into the LWAN, all other studio songs from that album didn't stand up. All their shit live is so much better. An opinion on this end. Not barking at anyone.

But one of those songs from the album that I still think roughly holds up for the most part is Summer nights. Better live, but I still love it. It was a point in my dumb point in my life that still takes me back. Out.

LWAN is off the charts insane, in a very good way!!!

Oh absolutely.

If I’m hanging my hat out there during that time, I’m going home sick if I’m at work and get the news about the gig. If I hear about it before work, I’m calling in sick.

Same with the West End gig in Dallas, and U2’s gig.

It's 5150 by a mile for me. Probably Sammy's best lyrics ever, standing tall over the "only time will tell if we stand the test of time", "silken gown", "playin' love with them human toys" nonsense that pervades much of this album. Those lyrics were cringy when I was 15 in 1986 and they're cringy now...

Oh yeah, those were another two I heard about 2 hours too late. U2 at the Whisky and the Stones at the Echo. My weho ppl were just barely behind the capped queue each time. They didn’t even make the cut and they’re much higher up the food chain.

I would’ve made the Whisky VH gig if I’d gone to LA that morning as usual, but I had something to do in Ventura instead. Still remember the footage of VH fans running down the strip in a frenzy to get tix at the door lol.
