Van Halen? I bought the first two albums back in junior high school. I sold them during my first semester at college for a bus ticket home to catch The Cramps. As the eighties progressed I felt free to openly listen to lots of albums that I made sure stayed hidden when friends came over. By '85 I was playing Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Skynard and Kiss once again. But Van Halen never made it into my rotation again. But who am I to talk? Right now I'm really getting into Rush, even their eighties hits like "Spirit of The Radio".

As a former teenage metal head I have to say that inspite of 10 years of denial some of that music was good. Ages ago I wrote a review of Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden on Unsung (it's still there if u search). I spoke to Julian about it and he said that, although it wasnt his thing, it was unsung IN OUR CIRCLE. I love that record. After being into me techno and stuff for a while i realised that if the music stirs you then its good.
Most of the crap guitar music about now dont stir me but put on 'Run to the Hills' and I'm rocking. One CANNOT be snooty about music. If it rocks, IT ROCKS.

so there
