Can't go with you there. Van Halen dropped off big time when David Lee Roth left the band. No, "Jump!" wasn't my favorite VH hit. It was "House of Pain".
VH was great, but not as good as MÖTLEY CRÜE.
I will be the first to admit that David Lee Roth was better than Sammy Haggar, but Sammy is better than nothing I guess.
