Gary Cherone was so bad I didn't even buy that album, one song on the radio killed that dream.

You're in for a long weekend, Chris. She knows your weak spot. :-)

I can't wait to pose this question to my son; he'd better say Roth or we have some serious listening to do.

Next question for Mia: Beatles or Stones?

your conversations make me grin and laugh...thanks! I needed that this morning...our kids always seem to go their own direction...LOL

I love how she goes straight for the kill! Good luck re-educating her!

Oh my gosh, this made me laugh as soon as it opened. My daughter has been able to tell the difference between the Van Halen singers since she was two! (Because "Jump" is her favorite song, I think she prefers Roth, btw.)

Ok, Chris, you have some serious work to do here. It is important for fathers to provide their daughters with guidance on these matters. thank goodness for the long weekend :)

P.S. Roth. That goes without saying, right?

Roth of course but I don't hate Haggar as much as most do.... But Gary was pretty bad....

I like Van Halen and I like Gary Cherone with Extreme, but I have never even heard the VH album he is on because I thought he was such a lame choice.

P.S. I'm a Hagar fan.

Ha-ha!! We had a similar conversation at the dinner table last night while I was dishing up plates. The Frog Princess (6) was showing Mini-Saurus (2) her Presidents of the US place mat and asking her to point to her favorite President. Frog wanted her to point to Obama but Mini kept picking George Bush Jr., George Senior, and Regan...she was killing me and her sister. I informed her that we wouldn't be allowing her to vote until she gets her priorities straightened out!

I didn't even realize Cherone was an option when answering this question.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't choose Diamond Dave.

There really was no Van Halen after DLR. There was just noise. Bad noise. It was like everyone just gave up, but forgot to turn the money machine off.

You can't dismiss Hagar right off the bat. "5150" was a great album. Several subsequent albums were solid as well.

I will agree, Diamond David Lee Roth should be the start and finish of the discussion, but you have to at least give '5150' credit for being one the all time great Van Halen albums.

My daughter asked who Bruce Lee was, once. "Never again," I vowed. Never again.

I am totally a Sammy Hagar fan. My older brother mocks me for this, but there it is.

Incidentally, I have no idea who Gary Cherone is, so Mia has one up on me.

I love reading mia's stories, she has a lot in common with my daughters world view, so you need to go download Soundbiter for your iPhone then we could hear her too. Or you could just archive them to play back when you need some quiet, my kids will happily listen to themselves for ages--well 20 min, but it seems like ages when they're quiet.

that's hilarious.

Mia is the Antichrist?

But she looks so sweet.

i hope you got that all figured out this weekend.
and for the record, i'm totally sammy hagar camp.

holy crap that's funny.
