Worst Van Halen song from VH1 through the 1984 Album ?

[EyeDocOfRock]

Which is the worst Van Halen song from Van Halen 1 through The 1984 Album ?

[Van Ailin']

For me, it's "You're No Good." But if eliminating the cover songs, I'll go with "Fools." I like the slightly weird ones like Tora Tora/Loss of Control (which I consider one tune) or "One Foot Out the Door."

[pieceofme]

Fools is a brilliant song.

[JamesHetfieldsAcneScars]

I can't even think of one Roth era song that I would consider the worst.

[aznsquirt]

Dancing In The Street

[Nate S Axel]

Hard one. The only one I would likely skip is probably "Loss of Control".

[fret123]

Aside from the dumb covers it’s Jump and I’ll Wait for me without a doubt.

[rubysdad]

Pretty Woman is horrendous.

[HueyRamone]

I hate the chorus of Little Guitars, so although I've hear people like it, i would immediatly change the channel if it came on.

[Ozzy Stradlin]

“One Foot Out the Door” comes to mind.

[Bono Nettencourt]

Except for the intro and solo, Top Jimmy is pretty meh.

[SchenkerFan]

Loss of Control kinda blows.

[CrankerBait]

"Happy Trails" and "Big Bad Bill" blow. They would have been a better fit on Roth's solo EP a few years later.

[Bono Nettencourt]

Loss of Control kinda blows.

Yeah another great intro and great solo surrounded by a crap song.

[Chip Z'Hoy]

Worst original song: "Loss of Control"

Worst cover: "Big Bad Bill"

[Love_Industry]

Except for the intro and solo, Top Jimmy is pretty meh.

Agree. Never liked Bottoms Up either.

[Rocker4Real]

One Foot Out The Door

[Anthrax442]

Loss of Control, but that's like asking what's your least favorite luxury car.

[Bono Nettencourt]

Except for the intro and solo, Top Jimmy is pretty meh.

We may have to throw down now.

[daveg]

Well, I guess we can all agree that is one bad ass 6 album run.

Dancing in the streets would be my choice.

From the originals I'd say Intruder....and that's as far as I'll go.

[Psychobolia.com]

“One Foot Out the Door” comes to mind.

Yup, this or Full Bug...

I wouldn't change anything on those albums, though, even Big Bad Bill has its charm.

[DonJuanDeMarco]

Aside from the dumb covers it’s Jump and I’ll Wait for me without a doubt.

I take it you don't like keyboards?

There are plenty of favorites and songs that I skip over. I guess if I had to choose one "worst", I always hated their cover of Dancing in the Street.

[HottKarl777]

Fools is the coolest shit ever.

[pieceofme]

Fools is the coolest shit ever.

Van Ailin' is the American version of Love_Industry. They have some of the most bizzare takes.

[DevastatinDave]

I’ll Wait. Just never got it…

[EuroJR]

One Foot Out Of Door has got a great outro. It is not bad song, only cut short.

However Loss Of Control sucks.

Not at all. Like a lot of keyboard music. Those songs are just lame and lifeless.

One Foot Out the Door and Full Bug were the ones I thought of before deciding on Loss of Control, but listened to all three, and Loss of Control was definitely the loser of the three.

Based on responses, seems like a LOT of people think that. So, of course Mr. Bungle decided to cover that one song.

I’ll Wait. Just never got it…

I don't think it's their worst but it definitely struck me years later that it was the first step toward the terrible Hagar-era songs.

I'd go with either a joke song ("Happy Trails" maybe) or an Eddie guitar goof ("Intruder" maybe).

I love “I’ll wait” & “intruder”
