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!!!
