Hagar was in Montrose from 1973 to 1975. Montrose's compilation include songs featuring Bob James who recorded with the band from 1975 to 1976 and Johnny Edwards who sang for the band in 1987. Consequently, not all songs on this album feature Hagar or his songwriting. Solo and Sammy Hagar & The Waboritas. The Waboritas (also known as "The Wabos") is a backing band Hagar uses on  some of his albums, but he tends to still refer to these as solo albums so they have been kept together. On compilation albums, often no distinction is made between Hagar's solo work and his work with the Waboritas so none has been made here. Studio albums. Note: "I Never Said Goodbye" was originally named "Sammy Hagar" but was renamed after an MTV competition where a fan got to pick a name for the album. Van Halen (1985–1996, 2004). Compilations. Hagar was in Van Halen from 1985 to 1996 and 2004. Both of Van Halen's compilation albums also  include songs featuring current lead vocalist David Lee Roth who recorded with the band from 1974 to 1985. He returned in 1996 for the first best of album that went #1 on "Billboard". He then returned in 2006 and is still a member, touring with them in 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013 and 2015. Consequently, not all songs on these albums feature Hagar or his songwriting.
