1. Women And Children First
Suprized, not a lot of love here for Women and Children First. Not only did VH rework their sound, they created a new genre in rock, BIG ROCK. Not the best songs per se but for me it best captures Van Halen's spirit.
2. Van Halen
All time classic.
3. Van Halen II
Disappointed when it came out (VH lite) but recently I've come to love it.
4. Fair Warning
Their most innovative work.
5. Diver Down
Some of their best work (Full Bug, Secrets) mixed with too many covers and instrumentals.
6. 1984
It's their In Through The Out Door, MTV pop rock.

BITCH, STOP USING MY LOGIN AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!!!!!
1984 - Bought this when I was a wee lad...it's a brilliant album, start to finish.
DIVER DOWN - Nothing does it for me like SECRETS, THE FULL BUG, HANG 'EM HIGH, WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD TIMES GONE, LITTLE GUITARS.
VAN HALEN II - I still love DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY...and the album cuts are unbeatable. LIGHT UP THE SKY is just one of the best things they ever did.
FAIR WARNING - UNCHAINED, PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, MAIN STREET...'nuff said.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST - LOSS OF CONTROL, COULD THIS BE MAGIC, IN A SIMPLE RHYME...this may be fifth on my list...but it's still almost perfect.
VAN HALEN - Yeah, the debut album is too neat and too one-note for me to like it as much as the other five. It's still brilliant...but I like the others even more. I still think they could have picked a few off the demos that would have been better.

When I first discovered and learned to absolutely adore classic DLR-era Van Halen, I used to constantly rank the amazing six in my mind and just as easily change my mind.
However, I gotta say that Fair Warning and WACF have always been my top two from the start. Today, I reckon my much more certain personal rankings would be this:

Everytime I re-experience Diver Down, I keep hoping the radio spots advertising the album's forecoming release will turn up on the webworldnet.
I find it hard to rank them 1 - 6... I can put them into three tiers...
VH I: I'm the One... in your face... here we are... everyone else run and hide.
Fair Warning: The Angry Album... compare it to other "rock" at that time... this was LIGHT YEARS ahead of what others were doing.
WACF: After wild success, they get more creative freedom and it manifests itself here. The first inkling that this band is on par with a Led Zeppelin or Beatles because of the variety, songwriting, attitude and musical expertise.
1984: Again... look at what else was going on in the ROCK WORLD at this time... these guys just were trailblazers... they still blew the doors off with Hot for Teacher, Girl Gone Bad and House of Pain... but then you get something like Drop Dead Legs (I'm not saying I don't like DDL... I'm just saying it's a really good song that is very different than Hot for Teacher).
VHII: Essentially VHI, part II. I love this album. Beautiful Girls... Light Up the Sky... Somebody Get Me a Doctor... Bottoms Up!... JESUS H CHRIST...
Diver Down: Too short and now based on interviews we know what happened on this album. Still... Hang 'em High... Little Guitars... Secrets... all great cuts.
1 - 6... Tiers 1 - 3... back east... down south... out west... no matter how you slice it... the 6 Pack is better than anything that came after it. And you can thank one person for that... Diamond David Lee Roth!!!

The first four albums were more or less perfect. As far as I'm concerned, it's a 4 way tie for first place.
Diver Down's flaw was, obviously, too many covers. But the originals made up for it.
We all know what was wrong with 1984 - the goddamn synth pop crap. "Jump" grew on me, the other one ("I'll Wait") never did. And I still like the original version of "House of Pain" from the Gene Simmons demo better than the one that ended up on this album.

*Alot of people say 1984 was too "produced" and all that shit, but GGB is one of their most smokin' tracks IMO.
*DD -- I agree with most who say this album feels rushed and the covers are kinda shitty. DITS is probably the worst track of the Roth era.

A great record with some of Mikey's best bass playing.
Sammy rocks on this, raising the VH bar even higher.
This is the LP that VH fans were waiting for, and they were not dissapointed.
Stellar stuff 5 stars!
This was going to be my number one choice but all the Sam stuff is 100%.
Great record, great lyrics, great playing, Dave Lee Who?
The best live album of all time! It was so good that even Ed shed a tear when he mixed (some) of it...
Fuck grunge, even in the mid 90's Sam was still writing cutting edge stuff. Wham bam amsterdam is the new VH anthem.
This is the classic 5 pack that real VH fans know and love.

All of them SHITE!. Stupid cow, the only album Mike played on was the live one...
Well one mans pain is another girls pleasure.
