Sammy Hagar, also known as the Red Rocker, is an American musician and songwriter with a music career spanning over 40 years.[1] He rose to prominence during the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the hard rock band Montrose, which was his first band and debut into music. He left the band sometime in the mid-1970s and embraced a solo career, releasing his debut studio album Nine on a Ten Scale in 1976. He has since kept a steady successful solo career, achieving a hit in 1984 with "I Can't Drive 55". Hagar later joined Van Halen, replacing lead singer David Lee Roth in 1985.[2][3][4][5] Hagar is also known for having associated and being a member of various other bands.

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.

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.
