What do you think of Van Halen? What songs do you like in particular?
I really can't get enough of them. To me they're the best band of the 80's, no, of all times. I can't think of a band that made music that good and so much of it at the same time . Incredible. :)

My absolute favourites are "Dreams", "Love Walks In", "Panama" and of course "Jump". :up:

I'm a big fan of "Hot For Teacher". Muchos other stuff too, but I have to say that 1984 is my favourite of their albums.

I was listing to planet ROCK at the weekend, that only plays ROCK - so much so one of their jingles goes 'Planet ROCK - It ROCKs'. And as they only play ROCK that ROCKs, which appears to consist mostly of the back catalogue of U2 and Van Halen, by implication Van Halen ROCK.


Er, I like 1984 best too......

1984 is one of the albums I must buy before I die, and I still havn't done it yet... >_<

I still like Van Halen I and II, though, as neither album has a song that I hate...Their songs sound just as fresh as they did 30 years ago...Everything from Eddie's elaborate guitar skills, Alex's solid drum beats, and Michael laying the low-down on bass...And of course, David Lee Roth is my favorable singer of either era (Excluding that freak on Van Halen III from the entire Van Halen history)... :D

"Eruption" has got to be the guitar solo of the century... :D
