    Which is a travesty. Which would then make Diver down...Overrated?

    Anyway, I stand by the whold underated thing being a load.
    DLR Band, is an underrated albulm, not even reaching gold status, and being one of daves better solo efforts.

    IMO, anything that goes past platinum was well recieved and well liked either by the genre community or mainstream in general.

    I don't think there was any VH material that was underrated in anyway, espesially when you talk about the cvh catalog.
    The Roth Army needs a leader who demonstrates the three "A's",

    Attitude, Awesomeness, America.

        It's under-rated by EVH...and a "certain" section of his fanbase. All the bitchin' EVH has done over the years has obscured the fact that it was well received when it was released.
        And that it was recorded under extreme pressure from Warner Bros..........at a time when THE BAND was at a creative low point. Yet, they managed to put out a diverse and interesting work.

                I'd take 1984 over Diver Down. Both are killer, but the covers filled album just doesn't cut it like the all original '84.

                        Diver Down. 1984 just wasn't really "great" for me when it came out. The synth's were really a downer for me at the time as it indicated a softer direction musically. Panama, HTF and Girl Gone Bad are great tunes though. Where have All the Good Times Gone, Hang Em High, Full Bug, Intruder and Little Guitars rock harder than the non-mentioned cuts off 1984.

                            As a complete album I would say 1984.

                            This is at tough one because two of my favorite tunes are on DD and those are the Full Bug and Little Guitars. I think the rest of the tunes are good, but not FANTASTIC.

                            And although two of my least favorite tunes are on 1984 which are Jump and I'll Wait, I think the rest of the tunes are excellent.

                                I love ALL the classic VH stuff...BUT I will say this. I love 1984. Girl gone Bad is one of my favorite songs of all times. Diver Down,although a good listen..seemed rushed to me. Too many cover songs. I love Hang em high/The full bug,ect. But 1984 brings me back to the summer it ruled the airwaves. I remember going on vacation with my family and hearing Jump by the pool. Ultimate summer song to me. Eiether way ...I love em both!!!!
