Motley Crue vs Van Halen

[Lynch]

Love them both, but I gotta take the bad boys of rock. Motley Crue had a LOT to do with turning my head towards hard rock and metal in the early 80's. Van Halen was a great band for 20 years and will always be one of the best hard rock bands of all time, but Motley Crue helped shape my formative years.

Motley Crue (although, if Sammy Hagar was their only singer always - possibly, I'd choose VH).

Same here! I think we are definitely in the minority in preferring Sammy to Diamond Dave.

I like the Crüe, they have some really good tunes. But Van Halen is just head & shoulders above them in my book.

A Draw...2 quality bands who have made some classics...I cant decide
