VAN HALEN STUDIO ALBUMS
Van Halen
Released February 10, 1978
Van Halen’s debut album was one of the most explosive rock and roll albums ever released. The guitar work of Eddie Van Halen was unlike anything that the rock world had ever heard. Just about every song on Van Halen’s debut album would become not only classic Van Halen songs but also define the sound of classic rock at the end of the 1970s.

Van Halen II
Released March 23, 1979
Van Halen’s second album proved that their debut album was no fluke.
