However, my favorite song from the album is "Two Doors Down". https://youtu.be/kNH4Y30uwmE Quite possibly my favorite Country & Western song of all time... The opening line is pure genius...
July 28, 201511 yr I've always preferred the Lindsey Buckingham songs such as the ones you guys already mentioned. Going back to Buckingham Nicks he had some good stuff on there as well including maybe his best song, Stephanie, an instrumental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh1mvG6dmYo That record is a dandy, and WOW, look at Stevie Nicks. If you ever spot a copy of that on vinyl, you should grab it. They're hard to find.
July 28, 201511 yr While I gravitate to the Buckingham/Nicks numbers, this little number was always one of my favorites.
July 28, 201511 yr This is one of those tunes like "Shout It Out Loud" and "I Want You To Want Me" that sounds waaaaaaay better live than in studio.
July 29, 201511 yr I'm gonna violate the OP a bit on this one. After a modest selling Fair Warning, Van Halen put out Diver Down in '82. It was actually a bounce back album for them, selling quite well. It was never one of my favorite VH album because it had so many covers and that violated some internal law I had on music enjoyment. But Diver Down did contain a couple gems that are still favorites: Little Guitars and Secrets.
July 29, 201511 yr Queen:"News of the World" Gave us the iconic "We will rock you" and "We are the champions" Off of that album I also really liked, "Sheer Heart Attack" maybe Queens most Punk song
July 29, 201511 yr Queen:"News of the World" Gave us the iconic "We will rock you" and "We are the champions" Off of that album I also really liked, "Sheer Heart Attack" maybe Queens most Punk song Weirdly enough, that outstanding tune came three years and three albums after Queen released the actual record called "Sheer Heart Attack." A record that birthed their first pop hit, the incredible "Killer Queen," the band's first international hit, incidentally.
July 29, 201511 yr Or maybe this is the PERFECT Van Halen song... [video=youtube;Y-IUB62zDlA] Actually, that would be "Unchained," but this one is a Top 5.
