What are your favorite Albums from each era of Van Halen?

 

This was a toss up in the DLR era section. Each album had a few great rockers that I loved, but I had to go with the first album, because it had the most. Albums after that, although having good tunes, started to have alot of filler as well.

 

The Van Hagar era was simple for me... 5150 B)

It wouldn't allow me to just vote for the Dave album and skip the Hagar era entirely (which is what I have done for the last twenty years), so I will just say that my favorite Dave era album is FAIR WARNING and that the band have been dead to me ever since DLR left. Sorry

Love VH. Love Hagar. Never the twain shall meet. :baneed:

I was never a Hagar fan BEFORE he joined Van Halen so when the news came that he was the new VH guy, I simply walked away.

 

I will never forget goin' to the Van Halen Monsters of Rock concert at Giants Stadium in 1988 and noticing a van in the parking lot with the words "HAGAR'S NOT METAL!" written on the side in white reflector tape. Summed my feelings up perfectly. :)

My friends and I stayed until the Scorpions were finished and then left before VH came on... and a LOT of other people did the same thing!

I got sucked in by the whole "I Can't Drive 55" thing... ... no, seriously, check my driving record... ;)

 

I dug that whole VOA album, the Dean guitars, the whole thing. But he totally changed the attitude of VH and took it in a direction I did not wish to go. Made it all commercial and happy and stuff... I like that darker, meaner "Fair Warning" style... I don't care if they were miserable at the time. Suck it up bitches! <_<

You and your friends missed a great show...seen this show in Akron and it was awesome.I am a Van Halen fan with DLR first but the Monsters Of Rock Show that year with Hagar was great.I guess the people in Ohio live for the music first not the lead singer so EVERYBODY stayed and had a great time.....I remember it well.

Ehhh, Metallica, Dokken and the Scorpions were more than enough for me (forget Kingdom Come, heh heh) without having to see Van Hagar too, thanks. I was basically there for Metallica anyway. Glad you liked it though!

Like the majority to this point it was Van Halen (s/t) DLR Era and with Sammy the 5150 album for me :)

DLR 1984 it's the only one I have from the DLR era because he's the biggest waste of a heartbeat ever, no talent waste of space

Sammy Hagar 5150 one of the best albums of all time IMO, Sammy is more talented hands down.

I should preface my picks by stating I really can't stand this band. That said, if I'm forced--and by "forced" I mean at gunpoint--to listen to them, my "favorites"--and boy do I use that term loosely--are "1984" (DLR) and "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" (SH).

I /II & Fair Warning all tie for me in the Roth era.

 

5150 in the Hagar era as I`m not too keen on much else!

And that's the WORD! :headbanger:

 

Tough to pick a favourite record though....I'll go with '1984'!

DLR - 1984

Hagar - 5150

 

 

With "5150" being my favorite VH release.

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
