1997 saw the release of David Lee Roth's first ever compilation, "The Best." Before leaving Van Halen, David Lee Roth scored a huge hit with his cover EP "Crazy from the Heat" (1985). With a few hit singles under his belt, and unable to get along with the Van Halen brothers, Roth set his sights on a solo career. Commercially speaking, David Lee Roth lived and died in the 80s. The quintessential 80s frontman, who served as the blueprint for all other 80s rockers, simply couldn't find an audience in the 1990s. It's a shame to. Dave's first post Vai/Sheehan album "A Little Ain't Enough," featuring guitarist Jason Becker, is regarded by many of Dave's fans to be his best work.
