  • One of my top 3 favorite bands! 8-)

    1 - Van Halen 1
    2 - Fair Warning
    3 - 5150
    4 - 1984
    5 - Balance
    6 - F.U.C.K.
    7 - Van Halen 2
    8 - OU812
    9 - Women and Children First
    10 - Van Halen 3
    11 - Diver Down

    I'm more of a Hagar fan, but the first 6 albums with Roth are some of the best classic rock ever. VH1 is the best debut album of all time, and one of the best overall albums ever. Balance is probably the VH album I listen to most...I love Ed's guitar playing on it. He sounds reborn. Aftershock, Don't Tell Me, Feelin'. Just a ferocious guitar attack and an amazing, warm tone.

    Two awesome VH facts about me...
    Dance the Night Away was one of the first 45s I ever owned
    and I never pushed play on VH3...

    Fair Warning
    Van Halen
    Women and Children First
    Van Halen II
    1984
    ou812
    F.U.C.K.
    5150
    Diver Down (Little Guitars is still one of the best songs ever, with the intro of course)
    Balance
    VH3
  • In my eyes, there's only 6 real albums. Anything after 84 is a joke. A sad, unfunny joke I should add. So with that:

    Van Halen
    Fair Warning
    Women and Children First
    1984
    Van Halen II
    Diver Down

    All of them are fairly evenly matched though. I mean Diver Down has some great stuff on it amongst the covers (The Full Bug particularly is just killer).
