Van Halen is a rock band from California that put out a lot of great albums in the 1970s and 1980s. The band was always led by the amazing guitarist, Eddie Van Halen, and charismatic lead singers.
This was the last album with David Lee Roth as the lead. He left for a solo career and was replaced by Sammy Hagar.
This album was also notable as the first to feature Eddie Van Halen on the synthesizer. It was the 80s after all.
Van Halen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
