The Best VH Derivative Songs Tournament
Some of you might not like this one but I hope most of you do.
While we have nothing else going on right now except waiting for Wolf's album, the Covid to settle the fuck down so we can see The Circle and Dave resume their tours, Dave's solo masterpiece, Extreme's long-awaited and apparently-finished next album, and praying that we hear more from and see The Mighty Van Halen again soon...I wanted to have this tourney for the singers of the Van Halen family.
I calculated all of Dave's, Sammy's, and Gary's tunes and broke them down percentage-wise to fit 64 as I didn't want it to be bigger than the EVH solo/Dave era tournament because that's just wrong. I actually nixed a handful of Gary's and dispersed them to Diamond Dave and The Red Rocker because I know a lot of you aren't big Gary fans. What I did was pick their biggest songs/greatest hits, the ones I think are their best, some of my personal favorites, and some popular faves from what I've seen of others on the Links throughout the years here (sorry if missed any).
I tried to include every studio album but that wasn't working out for the amount of songs I wanted to compete. I did, however, include every singer's band that had a full studio album on the list. So you'll obviously see Montrose, Chickenfoot, The Circle, and Extreme but also some HSAS, Tribe Of Judah, and Hurtsmile (no Mitch though for numerous reasons). And there's a lot of Sammy/Mikey because that's 2 derivatives and something pretty special! So I mixed it up the best I could.
If you don't know a song, it's probably Gary's. You can look it up on YouTube and check it out, skip it, or just vote for the other song if it's one you happen to really like anyways. Those are the only requests I have. Anyways, I hope you like this one and play along!
