Van Halen was highly influential in its time and that might explain why it might sound like a trope today. Eddie Van Halen was a guitar virtuoso with a fondness for the music of Motown and The Kinks and a knack for writing catchy pop hooks. Nobody else sounded like them back then but every heavy metal wannabe garage band wanted to. "Eruption", the song that followed "Runnin' with the Devil" on the album, answers the question why. Jeff Spicoli saved Brooke Shields from drowning and blew the reward money hiring Van Halen to play at his birthday party in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982). Also check out "You Really Got Me", "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love", "Atomic Punk", and "Jamie's Cryin'". Tone Loc sampled the chorus of that last song for his massive 1989 hit "Wild Thing".
Me as well. I love early Van Halen and am bored by late VH. David Lee Roth might not be technically the greatest vocalist but he had so much personality and charisma.

I don't think Van Halen ever got their props for the killer harmonies ✌️
Guilty pleasure. I admit it I love early Van Halen. Hahah 🔥

This album went sky high!
Next time, try listening to the more atypical "Push Comes to Shove" from their fourth studio album, Fair Warning. I think it might surprise you!
