VH2
Women and Children First
Fair Warning
Diver Down
1984
5150
Ou812
F.U.C.K
Balance
VH3
A Different Kind of Truth

Diskus :clap:

[Rey C.]

That's a hard one. I'd have to say... VH1, Women & Children First and 1984. The tour supporting Women & Children First was one of the first concerts I ever went to, so I really have good memories of that one.

 

[Facetious]

Self titled

 

[wolverine81]

VH1, although Balance was the first one of their's I ever bought...

 

[bahodeme]

Women & Children First. At the time The Cradle Will Rock was kinda fit me at that time, especially "have you seen Junior's grades?".

 

[windlockatc]

Best of Best worlds...

 

[barebeaverlover]

VH 1 then 1984.

 

[Krazy4Kobe]

I and II.

The new one sounds like a lounge act.
VH is no longer rock-n-roll.

My preferences --

David Lee Roth as lead vocalist

Women & Children First, Van Halen II, 1984, Diver Down, Fair Warning, and Van Halen I.

Sammy Hagar as lead vocalist

5150, OU812, For Unlawful... and Balance.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Van Halen II

 

[Mr. Numb3rs]

van halen I... theres a sound to eddies guitar thats just perfect. its like a reverb... every time i listen to it, it takes me back to sitting around a summer campfire drinking beers and having a blast. it may be my favorite entire album ever.

 

[mekhet]

1984

 

[zimie]

Vh 1 & 1984

 

[BigSwede]

First and 84.

 

[LukeEl]

For me it's F.U.C.K. but I did go to the Balance tour and the reunion tour with Samy

 

[Shifty]

Overall, album would be VH1. However, there are songs from their entire catalogue (including VHIII) that I love.

I enjoyed 1984 when it came out, but the band has been largely irrelevant for quite a long time now, so I don't care much for any of their albums.

I'm not sentimental about music. If it is amazing, it ages well. Van Halen's albums haven't aged terribly well. They were too mainstream and trendy for my tastes.
