I just pulled it out and listened to it, not to rock out, but to listen with a critic's ear paying attention to the song structures, the lyrics, etc. to see if I still feel the same way. Conclusion: Its better than I even thought. There is such creativity and diversity in the songs, not a bad tune on it and it just rocks. Still #1 in my book.

I will always defend Diver Down. Maybe it just holds a lot of good memories for me, but I put it on the other day after not hearing for many years and still thoroughly enjoy it. In a way, it kind of bridges their style from harder edged earlier stuff to what they accomplished with 1984. Full Bug, Little Guitars and Secrets definitely show that balance between hard rock and catchy pop. Hang ‘em High is probably more in the vein of their earlier stuff like I’m the One. As far as the covers, I think they’re totally solid, even if it may seem like they are straining at times to repeat the magic of You Really Got Me. I’ve always loved how Intruder creates a tension that breaks when the Pretty Woman riff kicks in. Very cool. Dancing in the Streets is the one I could do without. The sillier one-two of Big Bad Bill and Happy Trails showcases the humor of Schmaltzy Dave which hadn’t yet worn out its welcome and was hitting its stride; at the time, we all loved him for it. The Little Guitars into is wonderful even if it’s kind of like Spanish Fly II, and I’ve always found Cathedral to be a majestic little instrumental, even if it gains much by watching Eddie perform it (but what didn’t?). Is it my favorite? No. Van Halen II is. But, I would rather listen to it than anything post 1984.

Jeez, man, people really have a hard time separating the music from the artist. If the artist isn’t the greatest person but the music is still fantastic, then just pay attention to the music and don’t focus on the person themselves. Whatever, that’s my rant. Time to get into the list. Van Halen has always been somewhere around my top 10 bands of all time. Right now, they may be just outside my top 10, being displaced by Thin Lizzy, UFO, and Blue Öyster Cult. But I’ve only heard the early David Lee Roth era stuff, so I can’t rank anything after 1984. So here’s my list. 6. Diver Down Rating: 7.4/10 Favorite Song: Hang Em High Comments: Yeah, a lot of the songs are throwaways, but I don’t mind the album at all. “Hang Em High” is totally killer and “Where Have All the Good Times Gone” is a fun cover song. I like the covers of “(Oh) Pretty Woman” and “Dancing in the Street.” “Big Bad Bill” is extremely stupid, but I like that the band knew that the song was bad and embraced it, just having fun with it. And I like “Happy Trails” because they don’t take it seriously. Again, not great but it’s fun for what it is. 5. 1984 Rating: 7.8/10 Favorite Song: Panama Comments: Eh, I’m just kinda tired of this one. There’s not really a bad song on it, but very little on the album truly grabs me. Never need to hear “Jump” again, except for the admittedly great guitar solo. “Top Jimmy” is fun, but it feels less natural to me than a lot of the fun stuff from earlier Van Halen. Actually, that’s how I feel with pretty much every song on this album: Fun, but not as much as earlier Van Halen. “Panama” is my favorite song on the album and the only one I actively go back to and enjoy as much as stuff from the debut through Fair Warning. 4. Fair Warning Rating: 8.0/10 Favorite Song: Mean Street Comments: My opinion on this album changes all the time. I really need to be in the right mood in order to like it. Recently I haven’t been in the right mood, so it’s just sitting down here at number 4. 3. Women and Children First Rating: 8.7/10 Favorite Song: Everybody Wants Some!! Comments: Now this album I always enjoy. Everything on here is great, from the killer opening track “And the Cradle Will Rock...” to the crazy “Everybody Wants Some!!” to the odd “Loss of Control” to the sweet “Could This Be Magic?” Everything is great here. 2. Van Halen II Rating: 9.5/10 Favorite Song: Bottoms Up! Comments: This is probably the most fun Van Halen album. It’s wild, it’s energetic, and it’s hard rock. I didn’t think much of this album until I set a Van Halen playlist to shuffle and “Somebody Get Me a Doctor” came on. From there on, Van Halen II has been one of my favorite albums of all time. The only songs I don’t really care for on here are “Dance the Night Away” and “Women in Love,” with the latter possibly being my least favorite Van Halen song from the first 4 Van Halen albums. But as a whole, the album is awesome and the good definitely outweighs the bad. 1. Van Halen Rating: 10/10 Favorite Song: Ain’t Talkin’ ‘bout Love Comments: Do I even need to explain? It’s perfect. Yeah, there are a couple songs I don’t need to hear ever again (“Runnin’ with the Devil” and “Jamie’s Cryin’”) but even those are such classic songs that I can’t fault the album for having them. This album is a textbook for guitarists, with “Eruption” still being a rite-of-passage of sorts for metal guitarists. I still can’t play it, but maybe someday... nah, probably not. “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘bout Love” is my favorite Van Halen song, both to listen to and to play on guitar, and I’m still trying to figure out how Eddie made those sounds on “Atomic Punk.” The album is just perfect.

Unleash the hate, because here are MY top 3 VH albums. Now I was born at the tail-end of Generation X and the beginning of the Millennial generation, so I can relate to both generations. Here’s my list: 1) 5150. Hate me! I heard this album a lot as a little boy, on the radio, on Pop’s audio cassette player. Definitely nostalgic ties to this album. I’m biased, that’s why it’s my opinion. But I also think this is a killer debut album for Sammy. He showcases his range and style on this album. I’m a child of the 80’s, I like the synth-heavy pop sound of this album. Can’t help it! I can listen to the whole album now without skipping a song and now as an adult I even appreciate the songs I didn’t like as a kid from this one. Lots of emotion and heart in these songs. All those reasons are why I think this is their best album as a whole! 2) Van Halen(1978) The debut. Eruption, Jamie’s Cryin’, Runnin’ With the Devil, Ain’t Talkin’ bout Love, You really Got Me, Atomic Punk. Also one of their strongest albums, but there are a few forgettable tracks on this one. Near perfect! Love the swagger of EVH and DLR. Great vocal and guitar squeals. Love it! 3) 1984 The controversial DLR album in which EVH incorporated the synth for the first time. I know Pete said that he’s sick of the singles, but I think they’re some of the greatest rock/pop songs ever written. The title track is underrated also.

Fair warning is my all time fave.. I like how house of pain was on 1984, being a song from the gene simmons demo in the 70s Cool concert story saw them on the diver down tour 12 yrs old. The insanity i saw, well i walked to the front of the barricade when they walked of stage, then they came out to do happy trails, but before they did the the security sat me and this other kid on the stage so i was there literally sitting there right there looking up at them very wild n great concert memory, my 3rd concert ever next to elo n tull

Awesome stuff! As for personal beliefs, opinions and things he says or does... I may or may not agree with any of it, but I do like it when anyone riles a lot of people! Lol.
