Van Halen or Van Hagar?
Easily, Van Halen...with the caveat that the best Sammy songs are absolutely worthy of inclusion in the pantheon of the band's best. (Dreams, Right Now, etc.)

I like a lot more of the Van Hagar songs, for sure.
I'm legit reeling right now.

Van Halen. The music that they released with Hagar was cheesy at the time and hasn't aged well at all.
You are kidding yourself if you think anything from the Hagar era is cheesier than anything DLR did and is still trying to do.
The music from both eras wasn't much difference. Less cover tunes with Hagar, maybe a few too many ballad type songs with Hagar. Hated the keyboard stuff but there was plenty of that across both eras.
I think the Hagar era has aged really well. After not listening to it for probably 25 years I have them a re-visit after Jericho's classic album battle of 1984 vs. 5150 and did a deeper dive into all of them and was surprised how much I like the Hagar stuff now... granted I'm in my 50s now.

They’re both cheesy in different ways. David Lee Roth was cheesy party music about screwing hot girls. Sammy Hagar was cheesy ballads about love and occasionally aliens.
Everything is cringe, just embrace the cringe you like.

Why Can't This Be Love, Dreams, Love Walks In, Cabo Wabo, When It's Love, Black and Blue, Finish What Ya Started, Poundcake, Right Now, Top Of The World, etc says you're wrong.

One man’s based is another man’s cringe.

I would say Jamie's Cryin, Ice Cream Man, Dance the Night Away, Pretty Woman, Dancin in the Street, Big Bad Bill, Happy Trails beg to differ.

Nothing against Sammy at all but I saw them twice with Roth and once with Hagar and the Roth years were significantly better to me. Didn't hate them with Hagar by any means but they just weren't quite the same

I was never a big fan of either, but the DLR version was much better.

Agreed. Pretty much every note Eddie ever played is cool AF.

Yeah, that 83 US Festival performance by them was pretty bad arse. I go it to it pretty regularly on YouTube and fire the Klipsch speakers up man
