you'll see 1984 is rated the 2nd best Classic VH album (the debut gets a check mark by it as well:p )
Why do people think it's so great? Was it the synthesizer affects on the opener and "I'll wait"? From that song on, is just mush.
It just didn't have the same kick.
And look:

5150 gets 1 more star than "Diver Down"?!?!?!?!
I thought DD was the best ever! Doesn't matter if the album was mostly covers. I prefer it over 1984 any day.

Drop Dead Legs..Awesome song. Hot For Teacher.. great! No way that it's the worst CLassic VH release..

I would have to say my least Favorites are Diver Down or WACF.. but both of those have their fair share of great tunes..

[Steve Savicki]

Okay, doesn't explain why 5150 gets 4 stars, but I guess I forgot to say that that's the general public's opinion, not just Dave fans.
Imagine what the Sammy and Gary albums would be rated if just the Army voted on them.

Hmmmmm form the 6 pack original VH
1984 its the worst (to me)

Hmmm, nobody ever asked me what my opinion is, whoever rated it 4 stars is a tool, its just one guys opinoin......

1984 the worst?

House of Pain , anyone ?

The solo on that is better than all of van hagar's crap put together

[ThrillsNSpills]

Damn right Flappo.
That solo is a classic.
goose bump material

The original House of Pain was priceless also.
They should have released both of em.

Panama
Top Jimmy
Drop Dead Legs
Hot For Teacher
Girl Gone Bad
House Of Pain

Any album with those tunes on it is absolutely stellar!

Sarge, WACF is a masterwork in its own right. Cradle, Everybody Wants Some, Fools, Romeo Delight, Take Your Whiskey Home! I mean Jesus - Dave flat out rules on this disk!

[diamond den™]

Everybody Wants Some!!

1984

I THINK MUSICALLY 1984 IS THEIR BEST WORK. AS FAR AS ASS KICKING THE NOD GOES TO VH1

Maybe, but Fair Warning could be called their best work as well......At least for me......

I wasn't talking down on it...I listen to it all the time!
I was saying that I like it the least out of all the 6..
Well.. maybe Diver Down..
It's close!

[flappo]

..diver down on lp was bluddy awful . whiole 1984 was much cleaner



..that's gary cherone's new look btw

I think what taints 1984 is if you look at it retrospectively, you know it marked the beginning of the end, and years to come of synthesizer crap. Now when 1984 came out, who would know that. I'm sure die-hards even back then hated the synth stuff, but overall it's still a good album. Now, when you look at it, it's the first chapter of a bad story.
