Showmanship, I think that was their biggest appeal.
Lights, tights and gymnastics.

ya everyone thinks van halen was great because eruption...which is a cool guitar solo. they never struck me as being REALLY amazing by any means.

The Who
The Ramones
The Clash
Green Day (pre nimrod)
Bad Religion
Dead Kennedys
The Stooges
The Sex Pistols

Metallica
Pearl Jam
Nirvana
Black Sabbath
Tool
AC\DC
Van Halen
System of a Down

this isnt really a biased ranking either because i like pearl jam better than metallica, and tool better than black sabbath.

Its ironic that you think that when considering that their best album was made in 1978.

I love Van Halen, and theres a lot of things that contribute to their appeal. EVH of course is an amazing guitarist, and no one sounded like him at the time. David Lee Roth was a great frontman who could put on a show (f*ck Sammy Hagar).

Like Frances said, showmanship was a big part of it. But unlike most hair metal bands, VH actually wrote good songs, and a lot of them.

Funny how everybody goes on about Eddie Van Halen's guitar playing yet the band turned to shit when the singer left.

Thats more attributed to EVH's dubious choice of hiring Sammy Hagar, going for a more AOR style and polished synth ladin sound and trying to write "deep" lyrics once DLR left than to his guitar playing, which remained as tight as ever.

I still like some of the Hagar stuff for EVH's guitar playing alone.

I get so pissed off when I see Green Day thrown in among some great punk rock bands. Green Day does not deserve the acknowledgment that people give them. What pisses me off the most is when people class them as punk rock. They should be labeled as crap rock.

Whoops a DLR song, I thought it was a VH.
