I don't get how people say Van Hagar was more poppy. Dave era had some of the poppiest stuff, imo. Dance the Night Away, Dancin in the Street, Pretty Woman, Jamie's Cryin.

Not saying those suck, just saying they had some pretty poppy stuff back then too.

Granted. I just think some of the Van Hagar stuff was more slickly produced in a poppy vein. Again, not bad records, just not as hard as the hardest stuff with DLR. A few songs that support the viewpoint:

- Why Can't This Be Love
- Dreams
- When It's Love
- Cant Stop Lovin' You

Collectively, not bad tunes, but geared for radio at the time (not a bad thing as it is called popular music for a reason).
