Poll question: Best early Van Halen.
Which of these albums from the classic Van Halen album with DLR as frontman do you like best?

2. Van Halen's 1st album is still their best......
......and Diver Down might be one of the worst rock albums in history....

5. Van Halen 3 with Gary Cherone was far worse than Diver Down.

9. You are correct ,Sir!
I almost forgot about that piece of crap. I guess I never got over my initial disappointment with Diver Down.

7. Hey, I LOVE Diver Down
That album has more going for it in its short 30 minutes than any popular rock group today can muster in a whole career (with the possible exception of U2).

Love the DU name, by the way! KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!

two 6 1/2" mid ranges along with some tweets. I used to just KILL 1984 in that little VW. You could hear me coming from a mile away.

8. Van Halen
one of the most overrated bands ever. They had the hype machine in full gear. Roth was a decent frontman, Sammy Hagar was good, but the Van Halen bros. never seemed to get any better. Eddie married well though.

12. I know.
I read it on that site. While I was kind of neutral towards that incarnation of the band, I was even more turned off. THe only thing I can listen to with him is Montrose. I actually respect DLR for becoming an EMT.
