#11. 1984 - Van Halen

11. 1984 (1984 - duh) - Van Halen  88/100.  Of the Van Halen albums I would put this in the top five behind Fair WarningVan Halen I, and Van Hallen II.  It is good and has some classics.  I am a big fan of Drop Dead Legs, Hot for Teacher, and Panama.  Girl Gone Bad and House of Pain are average.  1984, the song not the whole album, is very 80's synthesizer as is I'll Wait and Jump.  It is hard to fault the album when that was the "sound" of the time but to me it just sounds very 80's.  Overall still a good album - a lot of great Eddie Van Halen guitarwork and David Lee Roth shrills.  Listened - 11/23/10
Favorite Tracks: Drop Dead Legs, Hot for Teacher, Panama
