I enjoy all eras but I prefer Hagar's VH songs to everyone else's. Better melody and vocals. Guitar-riff wise, the Roth era wins hands down. The best rock riffs ever came from Van Halen.

I feel that Cherone got the short end of the stick. He should've been given more chance and EVH shouldn't write long ass songs, because, no matter how technically good they are, that's not what VH is all about.
