I listened to Fair Warning today and it was totally wicked! I didn’t pick up on it before! Could be my fav, idk. Anyway, vote for the best! Or your favorite or whatever.

Unlike some, I'm a big fan of the Hagar stuff. But my vote goes to the debut. How many bands had a debut this strong? They hit you with everything right out of the gate. When I look at the track listing, I always think to myself "this is a debut? Most bands need to get to their third, fourth or fifth release before they're this good".
Still mind blowing 40 years later.

Fair Warning is one of the greatest studio albums ever.
VH only has 1 weak and 1 mediocre album.

I love the Hagar era albums. Not as much as the Roth era, but more than almost any other band’s output.

Self-titled debut is the best.
Game-changing album!
Fair Warning is also great, but VH 1 wins anytime.

I listen to VH mainly for Eddie's rhythm work around his inventive melodies. From the debut through Diver Down, there's a building complexity and sophisticatlion in his playing. Lately I've been binging on Diver Down, which could get my vote based on a combination of technical approach, melodic sensibility and diversity of material, but...
...Fair Warning simply kills from start to finish. So yeah, Fair Warning is the one.

Apparently there is going to be some Van Halen news coming soon. Mitch Lafon on twitter posted a picture of Alex, Ed and Wolf and everybody started commenting. He said in a reply "There is no VH band for 2019, but..." so maybe there will be news soon. And by the way, I like both Dave and Sammy
