Today I bought my first Van Halen album ever.

I heard the song "Dreams" on the Howard Stern show the other day. I've never been a big fan of Van Halen, but I though, "Hey, this sounds good!" Based on that thought and 50poundnote's influence, I listened to the 5150 album a few times on Rhapsody. I was sold. $7 on amazon, free 2-day shipping with Amazon Prime.




It's my understanding that 5150 is the first Van Halen album post-David Lee Roth.

I was going to say that I can only handle Van Hagar (the Sammy Hagar era), but I remembered a time a few years ago, when Howard Stern was still on rock radio. On my lunch breaks, after the show would be over for the day, I would listen to the station's afternoon programming. For a time, that station played a lot of old Van Halen. Panama and Running with the Devil. It was fun.

Are any of you Van Halen fans?
