      For me, Van Halen, Van Halen 2 and Fair Warning are very hard to rank in terms of best songs or most favorite to least favorite in descending order.

      Diver Down and 1984, not as tough to make those choices.

      Women and Children First is so varied stylistically it's almost a moot point to a degree.

        I think I picked LUTS the other day, but I can't recall for sure because it's easy to have a 5 way tie. I'm a bit surprised DOA hasn't even formed a color bar on this pole. That tune is no slouch! Awesome beginning drums, smooth harmonies in the chorus, very well though out and executed (of course) solo and the ever rebel rousing ride off in to the sunset like a spark on the horizon ending. Sweetness. Can you vote more than once?

              Light up the Sky was close, but I chose Somebody Get Me A Doctor, which has a little more drive,
              and the tensed break with the coke sniffs is one of the 3 best breaks in history for sure!

              Oh, and the riff is stellar too - as well as how Eddie fills up spaces with harmonics after the intro that's repeated
              throughout the track.

                  Light Up The Sky is my favorite. Love how they opened up the 1979 shows with that one.

Then you toss out the empties and cruise the strip for the rest of the night, picking up chicks left and right. Isn't that what Van Fuckin' Halen was all about??? Goddamned right it was!
                    No, IT STILL IS LIKE THAT!!

                        Hey does anyone know for sure whether a poster of Dave doing the flying splits was included with the album back in the day? I could have sworn I had a smaller poster of Dave wearing red and white pants and doing the splits. Small poster too.

                          Shit. Thought this was another new poll. I already voted. Umm.....we don't use Diebold voting machines do we? I wanna vote a few more times.

                              If it's any consolation, I gave it honorable mention in post #33.
