Greatest American and most influential Hard Rock band ever!! These guys spawned a bunch of imitators and set the blueprint for the 80s. So massive in North America back in the day. Good to see some love from the UK for my favorite band! Greetings from Michigan!
They were definitely the blueprint for Glam Metal. An amazing band with a very strong discography no doubt about it. Thank you so much for your watching and leaving a comment. Cheers 🍻
These guys provided the soundtrack to my youth. Such an amazing discography. Very much enjoyed your ratings! For Unlawful is epic! Thanks for sharing! 🤟🤟
So much amazing music in their discography. Glad you enjoyed the video and yes For Unlawful is a banger of am album. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Cheers 🍻
Weird how some record's are harder to get in other parts of the world. I remember just searching for this on ebay and it came up straight away for 30 quid which I thought was a good price
Very cool ranking. I love 5150 and OU812 more than most I think because I really got into music around that time. My top 5 are almost interchangeable: 1) VH1 2) 5150 3) 1984 4) OU812 5) VH2
Great vid and ranking. 1) Women and Children First 2) Van Halen 3) 1984 4) OU812 5) Fair Warning 6) Van Halen 2 7) Balance 8) Diver Down Not a fan of the rest
Great ranking! I agree the best Hagar album is ”For Unlawful….”. Best Roth album is tougher. Think I go for ”1984”, because two of my favourite tracks are ”Hot for teacher” and ”Panama”. Take care!🤘

Great video ranking. One of my favourite bands. We would be a little different in the rankings but I get your explanations 🤘5150 tops the Hagar era for me and the only time I got to see them live was on the VH3 tour with Gary. Merry Christmas mate
Hi James!!! well done mate.... it's so cool to see your thought about Eddie and the band as they always seems to be more appealing to the US market than the Uk and even Europe.... Unfortunately we never got the chance to see them live back in the day or even with Sammy..... for same reason i have a soft spot for OU812, i think "Black and Blue" is a really good song, also heard or read somewhere that Diver Down wasn't meant to be an album, they released a single and it went so well that the record compamy demanded a full lengh Lp and that's how DD was born..... cheers and be well
I can't say I know a great deal of Van Halen's discography, tbh. I've always loved 'Jump', 'Panama' and 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love', but I've never been a fan of 'Hot For Teacher'. I think that's about all I know! I really do need to dig in more and you've given me some good tips on where to start! Merry Christmas, dude! 🎄🎁🎅🍻☃️🌲 Cheers! 🤘
The First I knew about Van Halen was when they opened for Black Sabbath at the Birmingham Odeon in 1979 . They blew me away. If they were responsible for the 80's Hair Metal Wave then they have a lot to answer for Lol. We could quibble about the rankings but that will always happen . Nice to see ya back. All the best.
@@mrboulder9714 I totally agree that F.U.C.K. is their best with Sammy (by far). If VH had done an immediate follow up to 1984 with DLR still fronting them, I feel it would have been their greatest ever.
Unpopular opinion: I don’t get why people love WACF. For me, it’s just not their best songwriting, and it really doesn’t sound very good imo from an audio standpoint.

Great ranking, your top 5 are all fantastic albums. Fair Warning gets overlooked I think, so good to see you putting it at the top of the pile. Thanks for watching and commenting fella 👍
Van Halen were massive for me in my youth. These albums are heavily imprinted in my brain. Nowdays to get my V.H fix i listen to the " Best of Van Halen " comp as it has 3 studio tracks not on albums. plus Sammy Hagars self titled .produced by E.V.H ( also does some work on it). Love " Give To Live ". And the David Lee Roth album you are showing behind you in your video. Great ranking, i would probably rate 5150 higher myself if being honest. Thanks for the video.
I didn't know that about the guitar! I think I just missed the boat on these guys. I do love Hot For Teacher and a few other songs. Why Can't this be Love is one that really was so popular I even heard it as a kid. DLR is one of a kind, I've watched quite a few interviews with him. You definitely need to treat yourself to a new 1984 that sticker is ludicrous!
Class move from Eddie to have that guitar put into Darrell's coffin. Yeah I agree it does look ludicrous, must pick up a new copy at some point. Cheers Mike
Great rankings! I have VH3 at 12) ADKOT at 11, Fair Warning at 10, 0U812 at 9 (terrible production), Diver Down at 8 (Intruder is amazing intro to Oh Pretty Woman, WACF at 7 ( And the Cradle will rock was the first VH song I had ever heard and I was like “What the Heck is that? at the very beginning of the song, Balance at 6 ( this album has to include the Japanese extra song Crossing Over which is a phenomenal song. My fiancé was killed and the very next week this album dropped. Those songs helped me cope. VH II was 5, 1984 was 4, 5150 is 3 ( Love walks in is beautiful), For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is 2 ( this album was phenomenal! Dream is Over is the best song on the album imo), VH is Number 1 (this album saved rock n roll and started the 80’s hair band rock). This is a great list and my top 12 always changes minus the number 12 spot VH III. Love your podcast! New Subscriber!!!
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry to hear about your fiancé, glad to hear the music got you through the tough times. Cheers fella, much appreciated 👍
Is that a UK or US pressing of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge? I’ve got a first year pressing of OU812 but I’ve preordered the Hagar era box set which comes out October 6. Can’t wait to get the rest of the Van Halen catalog.
It's a UK pressing, I got hold of it quite easily considering it can be hard to come by. Yeah I'm gonna pre order that box set too. Cheers for watching and commenting
15:34 I just watched another video (by "The Tapes Archive") about the 1984 album, including the artwork: in the UK, the sticker was widely applied to censor the cigarettes. Fun video! #1 1984 #2 VH 1 and the rest depend on the day.
Van Halen Fair Warning 1984 Van Halen 2 Women and Chidlren 1st For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Diver Down Balance A Different Kind of Truth 5150 OU812 Van Halen 3 I will say that the first 5 on my list are worlds ahead of the rest. The next 5 are great. I never listen to the last 2 because they are virtually unlistenable except for about 2 songs each. For Unlawful Carnal Knowlede is the most underrated VH album. Diver Down is the next most underrated. If Dave had stayed with Van Halen, they would be on level with Zepplin.
Being honest it's something that's never bothered me, that said if the electric drums were not on those albums I would be absolutely fine with that. Thanks for watching and commenting on the video
Hard to argue with this ranking James, although I would put 5150 in the top 4. They are a band with really great deep cuts so they don't really have any weak albums. They had so much potential with Cherone but I feel they wasted it and at least should have given him another go. They seemed to get the synthesiser to really work for them, which made them a stand out and possibly why they have so may great albums.
Yeah the Cherone album should have been so much better, shame there wasn't a 2nd album with him. Tons of big hits and deep cuts, an amazing band. Cheers mate

I was never really into Van Halen (nothing against them, just never got into them), so it's helpful to hear your thought om their output.

Yeah it does make me laugh how some fans will zone in on one person for an albums failure rather than just accepting the fact that the band as a unit wrote a bunch of below par songs. Cheers as always Kim

Great ranking right there. And yes Van Halen 3 is an absolute stinker. Cheers for watching
VH-DLR and VH-SH are really two different bands and really should be ranked separately. That being said,
these 3 are the worst out of any singer, imo.
10. Diver Down
11. DKOT
12. VH3
After that, these are my preferences:
VHDLR
1. VH1/1984
3. Fair Warning
4. VH2
5. WCF
VHSH
1. 5150
2. Balance
3. FUCK
4. OU812
Some great choices here fella. Cheers for watching and commenting
DIVER DOWN rules all ya big goof!!!
It really doesn't
Fair Warning should be number 2 after the Debut album. The Guitar work on that album was Eddie's best work. Very raw and Hard. You missed the mark on that one Mate.
It's a ranking of his favorites, his own taste, not yours, nobody's wrong about taste. 🙄
@@sebastienlavoie9334 And that's my Taste.
@@gonedeep43 Good for you, then don't tell him he missed the mark with his choices... 🙄
I just find Side B of fair Warning is not as strong as Side A which is perfect. Thanks for watching
@@sebastienlavoie9334 Also my opinion.
I will never understand the hate for OU812. I think it's MILES better than 5150
It's a decent enough album but it plays it way too safe all the way through for me. Thanks for watching
It's better than "F.U.C.K." not 5150
My list:
12. VHIII
11. Women and Children First
10. OU812
9. Balance
8. VH (I know I’ll get hate for this placing lol)
7. For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
6. Diver Down
5. 5150
4. VHII
3. A Different Kind of Truth
2. Fair Warning
1. 1984
Excellent ranking. Good to see Fair Warning placed so high. Thanks for watching and sharing your ranking
Van Hagar is not van Halen .
Yes it is
@@mrboulder9714 in name only . Grew up in California in the 70's -80's . They were my favorite band , but. When they lost Roth it radically changed the material . Love all the original lineup discography.
A"catchy chorus"is that a good thing?I don't think so..ha.
🤣 .Of course it's a good thing, every band needs to write songs with good hooks. Thanks for watching and commenting
