Which Van Halen album is the best, (in your own opinion).

Dean Winchester · 01-27-2004, 04:29 PM

you cannot go wrong with their debut album. I also like Van Halen II and 1984. Not a Hagar fan tho 5150 was a good album too.

Kay Scarpetta · 01-27-2004, 06:44 PM

Van Halen and 1984

I would have to go with those two. Just about all of their albums are good, but those two are my favorites. I prefer the David Lee Roth years more than the Sammy Hagar. I like Sammy, but Diamond Dave rocks!

dandelion wine · 01-30-2004, 02:06 AM

Van Halen and 1984, as well.

pna42 · 01-30-2004, 06:23 AM

I'd have to say the first album and Diver Down. Sammy was good but David Lee was an original.

Brian · 01-31-2004, 09:27 PM

1984. But that's the only album from theirs I have listened to it.

Rhiannon · 01-31-2004, 11:27 PM

1984

catlover79 · 01-03-2009, 06:50 PM

The debut album from 1978 - two of my all time fave VH tracks are there. Those would be You Really Got Me and Ice Cream Man.

Nighthawk76 · 01-04-2009, 12:03 AM

5150 (1986)

If you don't select VHII, you are a communist.

Woohoo!!

I forgot that Jamie's Cryin' is on the debut album as well. That's another one of my favorites.

My pick goes to Fair Warning- as one review put it, "an unapologetic ass-kicker".

I used to rock to this entire album for hours when it first came out.
