Even though my first exposure to VH was 1984, I gotta go with Fair Warning - my fave of the 7-pack. Dave's attitude on FW still blows me away - so sexy!! Still like 1984 better than anything else by any other band, but it's low on my list of the 7.

Stay Frosty!
THE DAY IS DONZO LET'S HAVE SOME FUNZO!! -
Fair Warning is the best album Van Halen made. 1984 is the worst of the 6 pack. Anyone who doesn't agree with me is fucked.
Thank youComment

I'll throw my vote to 1984.........
let me say this...there is no "Low point" or "Bottom" to the 6-pack....
Pound for pound, track for track, VAN HALEN in their prime stack up against ANYBODY in music............LED ZEPP, STONES, BEATLES, etc etc etc.....not xtc, but that's another story....
1984 has aged BRILLIANTLY......NOBODY has put out a recorded work of finer quality....track for track...than 1984....in 28 years.....
I might LIKE FAIR WARNING better...hell, I might play DIVER DOWN more than 1984....still does not take away from the magnitude of the recording....
STELLAR....as our man MAX was fond of saying................Comment

Myself, can't remember the last time I put on 1984 because I actually wanted to hear the title track, Jump or I'll Wait.
Whereas Push Comes To Shove and Sunday Afternoon In The Park/One Foot Out The Door, while perhaps not as strong as the rest of the songs on the album, aren't tunes I ever have the desire to skip over.
Like, when I put 1984 in these days, sometimes I just bypass virtually all the first side, going straight to Drop Dead Legs, and only end up listening to Drop Dead Legs, Hot For Teacher, Girl Gone Bad and House Of Pain. As opposed to Fair Warning, which I'll still listen to from start-to-finish.
Am not saying 1984 was a bad album...in some ways an improvement over Diver Down...just not nearly as good as Fair Warning to my ears. When 1984 really got cooking, it gave as good as Fair Warning did. However, it wasn't necessarily my cup of tea from beginning to end like Fair Warning was.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Since we're only picking from Fair Warning and 1984, I'm going with Fair Warning. The first VH album I ever bought was 1984, so it has a special place in my heart, but Fair Warning goes for the jugular. Mean Streets, Hear About It Later, Unchained, and So This Is Love...NEED I SAY MORE???It's so easyComment

When people are saying Fair Warning is the best of the 6-pack, yeah, it kinda is....
Fair Warning is a beast, but come the fuck on already!
34 years later, the first album isn't just Van Halens best album, it's the best album ever made...by anyone...ever!
If people actually think Fair Warning is better, I suggest they listen to the first one again, and a lot louder this time.Comment

Fair Warning is the best Van Halen album of all time.
