Comments about You're No Good:

Personally for a heavy rock act I thought Van Halen handled the song well, with the harmonies in all the right places.
The best song on this album though is the one that follows: "Dance the night away". One of the few VH songs where Eddie lets the song stand on it's on merits without any of his trademark lead work and this particular song is all the better for it!

I'm a big fan of Van Halen, but they butchered this song. I couldn't even listen to it all.

Linda nailed this song! Her version was actually a remake, as a fairly obscure R&B singer had a minor hit with it in the early '60s, but no one even remembers this now, because Ronstadt reinvented the song.

I'm a big VH fan, but Linda made this one 'her own' a long time ago.

This song is actually a cover in its Ronstadt version of a song from the mid-60s by Betty Everett.
