I'm going have to side with Mr. Dave here. Eddie Van Halen hasn't done anything worthwhile in several decades but I have to admit I actually like the first few Van Halen albums. I also think it is true that he was pretty unique when he started out and has been extremely influential. Unfortunately 99.9% of the bands he influenced completely suck ass and at this point the overwhelming majority of his own band's output also sucks ass so his legacy certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

AC/DC have never ever professed to be anything that they are not. Not one of them are outstanding musicians. However I am constantly told that I should like Van Halens music because he is technically proficient.

I've been told plenty of times that Angus Young is the greatest guitarist ever, that doesn't mean AC/DC are professing to be guitar gods either. The only person in Van Halen who gives off an image of egotism in Van Halen is DLR.

That should tell people something about EVH's contribution to music.
