i don't remember the first album i heard or bought from the six pack, but lately when i am starting to get into a new (for me) band, i'll start with their 1st album. you (i) can see the band's transformation (or lack of, right off the bat).

with cvh especially, i'd get "VAN HALEN"...and realize that after you come down from the thrill of a band of 23-25 year olds completely upping the ante for all of rock...this was just the beginning and van halen's next 5 albums are an amazing growth from a band that you'll think was doing just fine anyway with their first album-and leading you to invariably conclude that CVH are the absolute best band around.

Anyone professing their love for ANY Van Hagar album in this thread, please deposit yourself in the nearest toxic waste vat. Thanks!

Exactly like that. By the way, all of those "classic" VH album (the remasters) are pretty much affordable and easy to find.

If your making the transistion from crap to gold, get 1984. The sound of cheesey keyboards will let you settle in easier to the all out godness of CVH. The opening track, 1984, will set you in the mode for a Hagar fest, but once its over, you will relise that even that it is better then everything Hagar ever did. I know Van Hagar lacks any ability to rock in any oftheir songs, so brace your self for the first note of jump. The sudden burst of music might make you cry after listening to hagar all those years. I would skip the guitar solo because its way to complexed for a Hagar fan to understand, and might turn you off from CVH because you will then relise that EVH really did know how to play a guitar at one point in time. After listening to jump about 100 times, proceed to I'll wait, another song with keyboards. Listen to both those until you memorize every note and every lyric. Then proceed to play the album through. After a complete mind blowing experience and the new knowlege that CVH is about 100000000000000000000000000000 times better then Van Hagar, buy Van Halen 1. You will then discover the bands roots and learn to appriciate the music even more. Next, get Women and children first to experience the great party vibe Van Halen had, and so you can see how the fun they had translated into the music. After WACF, get Van Halen 2 so you can thouroly understand the greatness of CVH. After that, I suggest Diver Down, as you can hear the pure talent of the band in how they transformed every cover to fit their style. Theyre are also some pretty fast, rockin songs on there that will prepare you for the sensory overload of Fair Warning. After listening to the five CVH albumes you have obtained about 30 times each, you will be somewhat prepared for the greatest work CVH has produced. The cover of this album is a bunch of horribly drawn cartoons beating eachother (pretty sweet, I say). Once you pop that in and hear the intro to mean streets, I am sure it might frighten a former Hagar fan to the point that you may want to turn back. But you will see the light, as this album contains powerful music that will not let you go once you start listening. After the fade out to "one foot out the door", you will feel like your alot smarter. You will relize more things then you did a half hour ago. You relize that CVH is one of the best bands in rock and roll history. You relize DLR is the ONLY frontman for this band. And you relize Van Hagar is a shitty 80's hair metal band that covers some CVH. Then, after you fully appriciate all that CVH has to offer, download the two CVH songs that they did in 96, as they are pretty damn good. After that, Eat em and smile is a great album, but we will discuss that once you want to get into some of DLR's solo work (which is outstanding, I might add). Good luck on your journy to the one, the only, the REAL van halen.

I love Diamond but all this rehashing of cvh is so boring lets talk about something fresh, like how Dave is starting to look a lot like the crypt keeper.
