van halen-best of volume I [1996]

holy crap. you know, i have resisted posting this album for some time. i can't hold back any longer though. simply incredible music; no way around that. i have been listening to this album since the 8th grade when me and my best friend mike were riding around with his older brother and he put this disc in and went straight to song number 13 and we rocked out the "right now" until our brains got too joggled in our heads from banging em. you may have a more "crystal" clear memory of that song being used in the classic "crystal pepsi" adds. however you remember it, it's fantastic. aside from that, this album is packed with classic van halen goodness. i still get goose bumps when sammy hagar does one of his "heys" right after the stirring intro in "when it's love". holy crap. this post, this album, is for all the second guitar part-players out there. eddie taught you the best he possibly could. take note folks. few can rival these second parts.



  1. eruption
  2. ain't talkin' 'bout love
  3. runnin' with the devil
  4. dance the night away
  5. and the cradle will rock
  6. unchained
  7. jump
  8. panama
  9. why can't this be love
  10. dreams
  11. when it's love
  12. poundcake
  13. right now
  14. can't stop lovin' you
  15. human beings
  16. can't get this straight
  17. me wise magic
