    Eddie Van Halen inspired multiple millions of guitarists and garage bands. Not sure that was a good thing.

    Just voted for petty because I've seen him live, and would do so again. You'd have to pay me to see VH now.

    Another one of those arguments. EVH is a much more skilled player, IMO. But Petty's guitarist is much simpler, and a better listen. Petty and Petty's music has aged well. VH music sung by creepy 60 year old bald David Lee Roth is simply disgraceful to me.

    Seeing him live is what made this an easy choice. He was great live

    If we were going by live performances then run DMC would have done better

    I like pre-Hagar VH but they're much better heard than seen. This is why I've always avoided music video like the plague. I really cannot think of a single one ever that I liked, and that Panama video posted above is just too painfully embarrassing to watch...had to stop before the first verse started.

    Agreed. It's a very rare song that is benefitted by a music video. Maybe Thriller. That's probably it.

    Music brings up visions in the mind, places, people, times. Then a music video comes along and poops on all those images.

    To clarify - votes need not be based on the bands at this moment.
    I voted VH - because of VH thru Fair Warning. I wouldn't even bother dusting off any of their other records..
