Artists starting with Van Halen

Van Halen, “Van Halen II” (Warner Bros., 1979)
Listen beyond the hits (great enough in themselves) and you’ll hear one of the most dynamic, unpredictable, fluid and explosive hard rock acts of all time – influential on everyone from Slayer to Poison to the Bad Brains and beyond, but in a category of their own. This LP finds them simultaneously getting harder, poppier and weirder, and is one of their best.
Try 1/2, 2/1.
