I used to like Van Halen. Then I turned 14.
If your standard for quality is "better than Kansas or Foreigner" then yes, Van Halen is quality.Originally Posted by sancho
For some reason, Van Hagar's "Why can't this be love" has been stuck in my head lately. It does not belong in any power ranking, on in my head for that matter.

I'll bite on the VH list as well.
1. Humans Being
2. Right Now
3. Panama
4. Runnin' with the Devil
5. Hot for Teacher
Hey, there's nothing wrong with some Van Halen. I mean, they're not in my top 10, but man does not live by bread alone. (And by "bread" I don't mean "Bread").
My VH list:
1. Ice Cream Man
2. Unchained
3. Me Wise Magic
4. 5150 (love that intro!)
5. Panama
Fine, I'll play along with VH. I will also adopt Damage's strategy for rating steak in doing so. Here you go:
1. Hot for Teacher (music video version)
2. Hot for Teacher (music video version)
3. Hot for Teacher (music video version)
4. Hot for Teacher (music video version)

Scratch is dominating this thread.
Worst bands of all-time (based on the ratio of quality/amount of radio air play):
1. Eagles
2. Aerosmith
3. Van Halen
4. Steve Miller Band
5. Heart
Boston is close. i might consider them over Heart because they get way more airplay - but Magic Man is just sooooo bad.
Yes isn't played that often. Roundabout and One is the Loneliest Number are their only staples.
By Sweet Home, I think you mean the Skynnrd. FREEBIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Steely Dan.
Heart and Steve Miller have to be 1 and 2 on this list. There is no other option.
Journey and Foreigner both belong on the list, but I have no idea which songs are Journey songs and which are Foreigner songs so I can't determine exactly where they should rank, but they have to be on this list (but again, obviously after someone who decided it was a good idea to rhyme "Texas" with "facts is" and "El Paso" with "hassle") (clap-clap-clap-clap-clap).
Oh, and old school Aerosmith rocks. Jerk.
Here's a fun game - do a blind taste test of Skittles (put one of each flavor in a cup, eat, and then see which one is missing). I've done this on a quasi-scientific level. Basically, you can only distinguish the yellow.
top 5 words that don't rhyme with "carrot"
5: bunion
4: sword
3: washer
2: corn
1: wispy
Oh I thought #1 would be anyone who goes to BYU.
Steve Miller would totally dominate this category.
That's what's known as a "callback," kids.
My version:
5: maelstrom
4: protuberance
3:knickknack
2: nomenclature
1: phlegm

I haven't been to all of the National Parks, but I have been to almost all of the 37 (thirty-seven!>?!?!?! Suck it, Utah!) National Parks in D.C. Here are the worst:
1. Dupont Circle - it's a traffic circle
2. The White House - pretty lame National Park that you can only visit if your Senator arranges for a tour.
3. Anacostia Park - D.C. is a much nicer city than it was ten years ago. Anacostia, unfortunately, is not.
4. MLK Memorial - I think they really messed up this memorial. The King statue is kind of Disneyesque and they used paraphrased quotes of one of the greatest orators of all time. Thumbs down, D.C.
5. The Mall - The museums on the mall are great, but the mall itself is a shadeless, grassless, foodless wasteland filled with grumpy tourists.
I've long wondered why more money isn't poured into the Mall. It wouldn't take that much to keep it nice. After all, it's probably the #1 tourist attraction in the national city.
