Van Halen, consisting of Eddie Van Halen, the guitar god, Alex Van Halen on drums, Michael
Anthony on
bass, and throughout the years, David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, and Gary Cherone on vocals (although before they hit mainstream, Eddie was on vocals).
Some songs include Eruption, which set the
bar for guitarists, a bar that has yet to be reached, Jump, which is instantly recognizable anywhere, and Panama, a song that when it comes on the radio, you have no choice but to turn it up loud.
Had been through a few name changes before landing on Van Halen. At first, they were
Genesis, obviously that wouldn't
work, then Mammoth, that had to change, finally Van Halen, and thus the greatest band ever was born.
