Praise (insert diety here) for Amazon downloadsSammy Hagar is an old favorite,especially this album. I'm a classic AOR rock fan. It doesn't have the low end crunch I'm into these days, but I wore out the cassette, back in the day. So many of these 70's & 80's issues are out of print. Praise be to Amazon for reopening the vaults and digitally dusting off the semi-oldies.

"sits 10" off the ground with a custom plate. In high school EVERYONE wanted a trans am. . . " Kind of a silly song, but it will pump you up! Plain Jane is my favorite SH tune of all time. My buddies and I cranked this tune up until there was nothing but distortion on the way to school in my nova. Street Machine is not his best work, however if you listen to the words of "Never Say Die" you can capture some of the struggles we go through in early adulthood. So go and crank up T-R-A-N-S A-M and feel like a kid again. .
ROCK N ROLL!!!
Anyone needing a crash coarse in ROCKin and Rollin listen to this album by rock god Sammy hagar. This is what rock N roll is.
RED HOT!!
I loved it then. I owned this vinyl back in the day shortly after it was released. I purchased the CD a handful of years ago. I loved it then. I pulled it out this week, and guess what? I STILL love it. While I love all of Sammy's solo stuff, the classic stuff still gives me goose bumps. I don't know if it is the memories of my youth, and the hours of air guitar fun I had, or just the pure adrenalin, party fun rock and roll that he always captures. His early stuff is so amazing, and yet so underrated. Don't get me wrong, I love Van Halen, but I pull out classic Sammy like this much faster and more frequently than I do the Van Hagar stuff. Life before (and after) VH is so much sweeter in so many ways.
One Of Sammy Hagar's Best From His Early Years
The highlight of this CD is the cautionary "This Planet's On Fire (Burn In Hell)", but that doesn't take away from the power of such songs as the slashing rocker "Trans Am (Highway Wonderland)" and the sensitive midtempo number "Plain Jane. STREET MACHINE is one of Sammy Hagar's best albums from the early part of his career, blending such influences as Ted Nugent and the Outlaws, with many great songs to boot. " Hagar's advocacies of sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, increased funding for law enforcement/community policing, and capital punishment or life without parole for kidnappers make STREET MACHINE an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience. .
