3461. Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love

From: 5150; Year: 1986; Genre: Hard Rock

I had this song on my mind this morning, so I'm choosing it for today's pick. Whilst I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan on the band when I hear their music I normally turn it up and at least bob my head to the beat, which is the same with this morning. It would've been so easy back in the mid 1980s for them to have made this hit song a dyed-in-the-wool power ballad like a plethora of bands during the time were doing, but they went heavy with it instead, thank goodness.
