Get In The Ring!!! First Six VAN HALEN Records VS. The First Five UFO Records On The Chrysalis Label Eddie VS. Michael! Don't "FORCE IT!"

[RUSHHEAD666]

I am have an real VAN HALEN and UFO "OBSESSION" tonight. LOL!

 

The Schenker UFO Chrysalis Years are priceless. Five masterpieces in a row. Even "Obsession" is incredible when Michael quit the band and had to mail in the guitar solo parts on tape.

 

Then there is the Edward Van Halen Years with the great Diamond David Lee Roth! The first six records are also immaculate. Masterpieces!!!!!

 

I'm sure we have done the whole Schenker Vs Eddie Van Halen thing before but hey it's my fuckking anniversary. 14 years of trying to be a creative soul on here!!!!

 

Which records would you take? Desert Island Discs? Or just a flat out pick one. Van Halen's first six studio records or the first five Chrysalis UFO records?????

 

No trick questions here. Pick one.

 

This Poll is about real fuckking hard rock from the past. The Glory Years!

 

All 11 of these albums still fresh today in 2020 to my rock and roll earholes! Never gets old!!!!

 

EDDIE AND MICHAEL RULE!!!!!

Van Halen

[ReRushed]

Roth is a better lyricist than Mogg, but Mogg is the better singer.

I chose UFO because I grew up with them and was a big fan of mad Mickey. Was EVH a better guitarist?? ..... sure ..... but UFO were very personal to me and in my eyes a better band.

I was fortunate enough to see them with Schenker at their peak in London 1977. Skinny dude with straight blond hair crouched over a Flying V in classic rock pose .... a sight to behold.

The 5 Chrysalis albums -

 

Phenomenon - The addition of Schenker elevated UFO from being an ok space-rock band to a sh*t hot hard rock unit. To this day the solo in Rock Bottom is one of my faves of all time.

 

Force It - The first UFO album I bought. They were not at all well known at the time so I like to think of them as one of my musical 'discoveries'! Good place to start for a first time listener.

 

No Heavy Petting - This wasn't that well received at the time although I loved it! Can You Roll Her rocks like a mad rocky rock thing! Natural Thing is probably the best known of the tracks.

 

Lights Out - The band was big time now. Such a strong album. My second favourite after Force It. A band at their peak.

 

Obsession - The last album before Schenker jumped ship. Another strong effort.

 

So that's my view of things. I am sure a lot of you guys on that side of the pond will hold VH with equal affection - they are a rock institution after all, but with me it's a personal thing with UFO.

Van Halen. Pure magic before the Hagar years.
