Unchained is my favorite.
Lots and lots of favorites, but that's my #1.

The "best" Van Halen song? Hmmm. That's a lot tougher than my favorite...have to get back to ya on that one.

It is, of course, the first song off their first album:

Runnin' With the Devil

Only hard part was picking exactly which song off Van Halen 1 was the best.

Geofferson, you have good taste! "Little Guitars") is my my favorite song along with "Big Bad Bill," and "Finish What you Started." Overall, I think "Diver Down has to be thier best album.

Agreed

First time I heard it was in Richard Beynon's living room cranked up with his dad's 6' tall speakers.

The sad part is I bet you still have that on vinyl you miscreant.

I think Panama pretty much sum'ed up Van Halen for me. Their GH Vol 1 cd is great.
