Van Halen II
Women And Children First
Diver Down

Here's my ranking!

[fanofdave]

Here's my personal list in order:

1. VH
2. 1984
3. Fair Warning
4. Diver Down
5. VHII
6. Women and Children First

Still love all these albums.

Well, at least I'm honest. And while were on the subject of truth....

Dave era Van Halen has been my fave band for 23 years now, and Eddie Van Halen is my fave guitarist. The only 2 times I've felt truly sick was when Dave left the band in '85 and when they hired Gary in '96.

If things were ineveitalby not going to work with Dave, it's true I wanted them to get Sammy back rather than another GRAVE mistake like Gary. But, keep in mind, Dave is and will always be the quintessential front man.

you guys need to reconsider your ranking of Diver Down

"Little guitars" - Everything great about VH is encapsulated in the song.

"The full Bug" - "Hang 'Em High"

personally I can't rank 'em

Sorry dude that is my least favorite. It's filled with cover tunes and filler. Only 7 original tunes out of 12 and 3 of the originals are intrumentals. I've heard rumors that WB wanted an album ASAP after Pretty Woman was such a hit so the band went in the studio and recorded this pretty quickly. In my opinion it is the worst VH CD well not as bad as VH III.

HINA!

YOU DUMB FUCKER OF YOUR OWN MOTHER.

YOU COULDN'T MAKE A POINT IF IT WAS LSD'S ASS BEGGING FOR YOUR NIGHTLY RIMMING.

YOU HAVE MADE NO POINT.

WHOMEVER WROTE THE SONGS DOES NOT DICTATE THE QUALITY OF THE MUSIC.

YOU FUCKING VEGETABLE.

THE RUMORS ARE CORRECT.

BUT "LITTLE GUITARS" IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL VH SONG.

IF YOUR APPEAL TO THEM DID NOT HAVE PURELY SEXUAL CONETATIONS. IF MUSIC MEANT A THING TO YOU AND YOUR DECK SWABBING GIRLFRIENDS.

YOU'D SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET BACK TO SUCKING.

YOU'RE A PUSSY ABUSED BY YOUR OWN KIN AT AN EARLY AGE.

GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE.

OR TRY TO TALK YOUR BULLSHIT TO ME.

I WILL BITCH SLAP YOU SO HARD YOUR FAMILY WILL BE ASHAMED....


AS USUAL

YOU ARROGANT CHARADE.

have a great day!!!

Okay since you were too stupid to realize what my point was i will try again.

And in closing to answer this statement:

"WHOMEVER WROTE THE SONGS DOES NOT DICTATE THE QUALITY OF THE MUSIC"

Those songs are good, VH's rendetitions of them were beyond bad.
Now let's see you make a point that is coherent.
At least try and form a sentence this time.

One thing about Hina...He can dish it out AND take it!

And in my opinion, "Little Guitars" is FAR from the quintessential VH song. Sure it's good, but if you MUST go with a song from Diver Down, "Hang 'Em High" is more apt for that crowning achievement.

Diver Down is SOOOOOO fucking underated! I first had it at number 5, but realized I listen to it way more than 2. The originals on DD are SMOKIN' HOT! The covers are well done also. The king of course is Fair Warning........the greatest album of all time.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Holy shit I'm surprised..........Forget Diver Down, I can't believe there are so many low rankings for WACF!! Everyone likes what they like, but wow, that's just a notch below FW for me. When that album came out my jaw hit the fuckin' floor!
