VAN HALEN - 1984 (LP)

Less than six years after changing the music landscape with its self-titled debut, Van Halen repeated the enormous feat. Certified 10-times-platinum by RIAA, graced by three immensely popular singles, and adorned with iconic artwork, 1984 witnesses the band expanding the synthesizer elements introduced on several prior albums and seamlessly bridging pop and metal sensibilities into a cohesive melodic whole. Punchy and catchy, glamorous and glitzy, blustery and heavy, wild and pyrotechnic, fast and fun, 1984 is David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and Alex Van Halen hitting on all cylinders
