Craig beat me to it. Without Van Halen's backing, and especially as he's getting older, Sammy Hagar is more-and-more like Jimmy Buffet's evil twin cousin. And Jimmy Buffet is irredeemably bad.
I picked up a used copy of a Jimmy Buffet best of this summer and have really enjoyed it. He's a good songwriter, nice comforting voice, good guitars and instrumentation. So yeah, I like Buffet, although I'm not quite a parrot-head at this point.
Now Sammy Hagar, with or without Van Halen, and honestly Van Halen in general is just not for me.
So I know we aren't in fight club, but I'll say it anyway; Jimmy Buffet>>>>>>>>>>>Van Halen.
ok, I've had great cheeseburgers, as recently as sunday in fact, but never once an even remotely attractive teacher so cheeseburger (while not my favorite song) >>>>>>>>>>>>> hot for teacher.
c'mon guys, how can you not love a guy who sings "why don't we get drunk and screw."
Not one teacher? I had multiple. Geez, in 10th or 11th grade I hit on some girl in the hallway. Turned out to be a French teacher. Was in her class my senior year and still tried to hit on her.
Yeah, bum luck I guess. I guess there were one or two attractive TA's in college... and maybe the occasional teacher you could imagine having been attractive 30 some years ago... and I won't pass judgment on male teachers...
c'mon guys, how can you not love a guy who sings "why don't we get drunk and screw."
Must I re-post my favorite critique of Jimmy Buffet yet again?

I must:
Just basically take a young American guy who enjoys a good party and then grow him up into a middle-aged, middle-class American adult male, and then imagine the stuff he might like: it'd be nice to have your own boat, tell your jerk of a boss to shove it, sail down somewhere it's warm and just take 'er easy, get some cocktails on the beach, havin' some drinks, charmin' some ladies, you know, exotic island ladies or real classy types, it's all good, plus when you're drinking on the beach you never have to dress any better than you would if you were mowing your lawn, then maybe smoke a little weed now and then, up in your house there where it's warm, your own little piece of property, cuz you're an independent type, they can call you a bad-boy if they wanna, but you're just lookin' to take 'er easy and have some good times, hang out there with the characters down at the bar, hear some stories, tell some tales, sometimes have some buddies over and break out the old six-string and lay down a couple nice little tunes about how funny life can be and how nice it is to just take 'er easy, down somewhere it's warm.
exactly - so that people who live someplace cold and constantly work and hardly ever get the chance to relax with a nice drink can pop that in and dream of being lazy, drunk, stoned, poorly dressed and above all warm.
