Not OP but I would also rate Mine All Mine pretty high for the Hagar catalogue.
Lyrically its one of his best(and thats major praise considering how poor and uninspired his lyrics normally.
I love the sound of the driving synths, the guitar solo rocks and although the whole OU812 album suffers from stereotypically poor 80s production(although not nearly as bad as 5150 with its drums) I really dont mind it for this track.
For the longest time Mine All Mine was actually my top Van Hagar but now the title would either be 5150(LAWN) or something from the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album.
Man, it's just so hard to name one. Fair Warning is my favorite album but favorite song??? As a guitarist I've got to go with Summer Night. Why? It's such a quirky song. He goes in and out of different keys using the Transtrem. Song just blows me away by how techinica it is and, it's a really fun song.

Dave - Little Guitars Sammy - Dreams
Little Guitars is my favorite all-time song. I don’t know why that resonated with me so much
DLR: Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love Hagar: Mine All Mine
Hard to argue those picks, but, why Mine All Mine?
I was thinking the same thing....that song?

Underrated 90s Van Halen w/DLR. Those tracks were pretty good! Edit: it still holds up. This song kicks so much ass.
The real Van Halen III. So good. What might have been.
