Van Halen

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett named Van Halen's self-titled debut as an album that 'everyone in the world should own.'

It's Van Halen's '1984' vs. AC/DC's 'Back in Black' for all the marbles.

With '1984' and 'Appetite for Destruction' just 61 votes apart with 12 hours left, the UCR staff weighs in on this close battle.

Only Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Van Halen and U2 remain in contention.

AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, U2, the Police, Guns N' Roses, Journey, Def Leppard and Van Halen are still standing.

Producer Ted Templeman originally thought the song's intro was "lame," but a much better replacement was soon found.

The band's live set lists changed a lot over their 14 tours, which featured three different singers and a constantly evolving sound.

After scoring some impressive round-one victories, 16 albums move on to even tougher battles.

He insists he “will not ever play a guitar note” on a Van Halen song.

Not every song can make the set list.
