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.

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:

WACF
Fair Warning
VHII

1984
Diver Down
