I would totally agree with that if Sammy sang like he did in Montrose, or Van Halen even had songs that were like Montrose, but I don't think that they did......That 5150 album had radio comsumption written all over it in my opinion and Sammy just gave their songs a more refined sound compared to David Lee Roth's style.
