There are songs that I liked by each of them. I'd probably give the edge to Diamond Dave.

I was very anti-Sammy early on...refused for listen to anything with him. However as I got older I learned to appreciate what he contributed to the band.
However, Gary Cherone was unacceptable.

Playing Van Halen is not too soon, asking dumb questions is too soon.

Eddie was a bad ass guitar man. Just like Robert Montgomery Knight was a bad ass hoops coach.

Roth was a showman, could barely sing
Sammy was a great singer and they made a fortune with him
its a tie

Showmanship: DLR
Musicianship: The Red Rocker
I'll give it to Dave because the music had a harder edge.

I’ve got $500 on Hagar as next Caucasian rock singer in my death pool. Natural or suicide

Roth = The true definition of "frontman". He had the perfect persona for their style.
