    Right Now is far and away their best song IMO. not even a real competition. it's a classic in every sense of the word.

    More classic and well-known than Jump?

    not more well known, no. but i'm biased. i have always preferred van hagar. i consider their music during that era as much more serious and melodic, the DLR era more tongue in cheek and fun.

    I hear you there.  The DLR era featured a lot more shredding by Eddie.  The band really blends together with Hagar.  Right Now is phenomenal, but I heard it once too many times growing up.  I do really enjoy the Balance record (I actually have it on right now).

    i've always been a sucker for a great EVH piano into/outro.

    I like the love for "Women in Love." I listened to that track a lot when I first got into VH II.
