1984 followed by For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Yeah I said it.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

It switches between 1984. the self-titled, and Fair Warning. Came very close to including 5150 in the poll. I enjoy the Hagar stuff for what it is.

 

[Precious Roy]

I voted 'Van Halen' and it's killing the poll

I almost voted 1984

 

[Precious Roy]

Diver Down should get at least 1 vote. I dig that record

 

[Brocklock]

Voted for 1, but i'm re listening to all the albums just because. Eruption 8) that opening on Ain't Talkin Bout Love 8)

I have a bit of a soft spot for Van Hagar. Those synths warm my heart.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Surprised Van Halen II has gotten no love. Debut, 1984, Fair Warning, that, and 5150 would probably be my Top 5.

 

[Gary]

Fair Warning is their best IMO

I listened to 1984 on the way to work yesterday, as it happens!

 

[CanadianGuitarist]

I'm okay with Hagar, but I've listened to Eruption a couple thousand times and am still blown away.

Van Halen, unfortunately, is a quintessential "ruined by the radio" band.

Van Halen, unfortunately, is a quintessential "ruined by the radio" band.

Almost this. I perk up when I hear the opening to "Hot For Teacher" or "Running With the Devil." I think the only songs I actively avoid are "Jump" and the rare occurrence of hearing "Right Now" on the radio.

I'm going with the debut.

For some reason, this weird story has been coming up a lot lately even though it's been out for years.

I actually think Daryl Hall in late '80s/'90s Van Halen could potentially be very, very good. Van Hagar coincides Hall & Oates' sharp decline in commercial popularity.

Or Van Hall could have been epically sucky. I don't see it being as bland and forgettable as a lot of the Hagar era stuff in any case.

5150. That’s right, I said it and I’d say it again.

Wolfgang Van Halen, Valerie Bertinelli Rail Against ‘Heartless’ Documentary on Eddie Van Halen’s Death: ‘F— You If You Watch It’

[BruiserBrody]

I have no grand opinion on Van Halen. Jump is sort of annoying after 20,000 listens. The opening music riff is part of the Packer radio network's long time bumpers, so I can't outright hate it due to Sportsball tie ins.

I suppose you were merely moaning in my unique fashion however, not asking for my approval on Van Halen's news and notes.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I moaned cause you like exploitative TV documentaries and upsetting people!

To make it up to you, Van Halen can be our make out album at CXFcon 22 to show our support for both our Pride friends and fatty lovers alike.

Game on.


Maybe

Probably not

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Lol who voted for some Gary Cherone or Sammy Hagar shit

Putting 3:2 odds that @BUTT was one of the other two.

 

[Valeyard]

Didn't Sammy and Dave try touring like 20 years ago and it blew up immediately? Why see them now? Can Dave still do the kick?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

They did tour twenty years ago but they just did separate sets and never interacted onstage.

 

[Valeyard]

I just want Dave to do "Right Now." It might bring crystal Pepsi back
