Listening to Eddie Van Halen play guitar is an almost spiritual experience. The David Lee Roth era is obviously
the best one, Sammy Hagar doesn't have as good of a style but he got the job done and backs up Eddie's shredding
with decency. Van Halen (Warner, 1978) gives the world Runnin' With the Devil and other classics.
Van Halen II (Warner, 1979), Women and Children First (Warner, 1980) and Fair Warning (Warner, 1981)
continue their status as the world's greatest metal band, until Diver Down (Warner, 1982) which has a few
keyboard-based tracks and an almost entire album of covers. This is followed by their greatest
record 1984 (Warner, 1984) and contains the timeless hits Panama, Hot for Teacher and Jump.
