1984: What is your favorite non single?

[Darkness]

Which 1984 album track is your favorite?

[KS 5150]

"In The Midnight Hour"

[japeape]

GIRL GONE BAD.

In my top 3, for sure, along with HAIL & IASR.

[JUNGLE DRUMMER]

Girl Gone Bad. Best tune on the whole album.

[DFVH5150]

DDL, my favorite non-single from the 6-pack in general. Still can't believe it wasn't played on tour, but that made it even more special in '15.

[ScottyBHarris]

Hard to choose, I love them all, but I landed on Drop Dead Legs. That groove, that bendy slidey riff, the outro, the lyrics, it’s all pure Van Halen at their peak.

[Get The Show On The Road]

Girl Gone Bad. And frankly its not close. Its up there with Panama and Hot For Teacher for me.

[Raldo]

DDL

Next would be HOP.

[ED-A-HOLIC]

agree

[VH1986]

Top Jimmy by a hair over DDL.

[DJ Work'in Hard]

Oh Jimmy!

[RRvh1]

I went with 1984, as it signaled more of the depth of Edward's musicianship. We all knew be could play the ever loving sh*t out of a guitar, yet this was like "Holy! He can create stuff like this as well?" It sounded futuristic, as Eruption and the Mean Street intro had done years earlier.

For guitar songs, and songs in general? It's hard to pick a fave off of 1984. Their best album IMO, and this is from a guy who leans roughly 60/40 in favor of the Sammy era of Van Halen.

Drop Dead Legs. Girl Gone Bad. House of Pain.
All pretty kick ass stuff. And the "singles" weren't too shabby either. 1984 was their masterpiece, hands down.

[PrideofPasadena]

The girl has gone bad.

[I Coulda Hada VH]

"Ah lazy eyes in the summer heat,
Fresh from outta town
Now she's working on the street,
Shakin' poor boys down"

[Railrunner130]

There are several really good songs on 1984, but I can't pick a favorite.

DDL, HOP, I'll Wait, Top Jimmy. All mega killer songs. Makes you wonder what 1985 would've sounded like.
