 | Van Halen by Van Halen
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.45 1978: VH's debut was a landmark in rock & roll history. Great album. No filler. Thank you Gene Simmons for discovering this band and bringing them to light.
|
 | Van Halen II by Van Halen
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.21 1979: More classic VH. "Dance The Night Away" might have been one of their biggest hits on this one, but not necessarily the best. Can't forget "Bottom's Up" and "Beautiful Girls".
|
 | 1984 by Van Halen
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.90 1984: David lee Roth's last hoo-rah with the band. Eddie experiments with the keyboard. Great album with mega hits "I'll Wait", "Jump", "Panama", Hot For Teacher".
|
 | Fair Warning by Van Halen
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.85 1981: Classic. Extreme heaviness. Eddie rips it up on "Unchained", "Mean Streets", "Sinners Swing".
|
 | Women and Children First by Van Halen
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.98 1980: "And The Cradle Will Rock" was their most popular hit from this one. Don't forget the cheeseburger dancing to "Everybody Wants Some" in the movie "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack.
|
 | 5150 by Van Halen
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.97 1986: The first VH featuring Sammy Hagar. Lots of radio play and well worth it.
|
 | OU812 by Van Halen
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.99 1988: Classics: "Mine All Mine", "Black & Blue", "Finish What Ya Started" and "Cabo Wabo".
|
 | Diver Down by Van Halen
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.63 1982: David Lee Roth's weakest album with VH. Essential if only for "Little Guitars", "Secrets" and "The Full Bug".
|
 | For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge by Van Halen
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.04 1991: 2nd best release to feature Sammy Hagar. "Poundcake", "Runaround", "Right Now".... excellent.
|
 | Balance by Van Halen
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 1995: I like this CD only because so little of it made it to the radio. Good (not strong) material. Essential if only for "The Seventh Seal" and "Aftershock".
|
 | The Best of Both Worlds by Van Halen
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.49 2004: 36 tracks. The best 2-disc collection of classic VH. However, David Lee Roth is not even mentioned in the liner notes, or pictured. This simply isn't fair.
|
 | Live: Right Here, Right Now by Van Halen
Buy used from: $0.40 1993: Decent 'live' release even if it is 95% of the Sammy era songs.
|
 | Best of Van Halen, Vol. 1 by Van Halen
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $1.98 1996: A good collection of tunes here... but way too short. Disc 1 should have been dedicated to VH with David Lee Roth, and disc 2 should have been Sammy Hagar's.
|
 | Little Guitars: A Tribute to Van Halen by Various Artists
Buy used from: $4.32 Good if only for Fee Waybill's (from the Tubes) version of "Atomic Punk", and Doug Pinnick's (from King's X) version of "Light Up The Sky".
|
 | Van Halen III by Van Halen
Buy used from: $0.07 1998: I had to include this one... to warn the listeners! Featuring Gary Chorone.... oh my Lord - THIS SUCKS. Do not waste your time.
