You need to dig them out, Van Hagar era Halen is great in my opinion. They're basically great pop metal albums, with a nice sheen touch on both
5150 and
OU812

After it, I think, due to Steve Clark's death they went down. Among all the same-looking and sounding 80s bands such as Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and many more, there are Def Leppard which surpasses them all.

Wow that is some really high praise but I agree the hooks of
Hysteria are solid and addictive, a very good album.
