One of the most popular hard rock bands ever, Van Halen's stellar reputation for no-frills macho rock has taken a backseat in recent years as continuing personnel problems impeded their ability to record and release new material.
Brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen formed the hard rock band that would take their name in 1972, with bassist Michael Anthony and singer David Lee Roth, and gigged around California to build a reputation. They finally released their debut album, Van Halen, in 1978, to great commercial success. It has since gone on to sell over 10 million copies in the US alone and is regarded as one of the greatest hard rock debuts ever. They continued to enjoy success with Van Halen II (1979) and Women and Children First (1980), buoyed by a rigorous touring schedule. Fair Warning (1981) and Diver Down (1982) were marginally less successful, but the band's live reputation was still strong, and 1984 became their commercial and critical high-point. Widely thought to be their best album, it featured their only No.1 single, "Jump". Unfortunately, during the tour in support of this album, Roth and Eddie van Halen had major conflicts, and Roth left the band.
