I was never a big fan of "Jump".  Seemed like something that they
threw together just to show off Eddie's newfound love for keyboards
(also rife on "I'll Wait"). "Panama" was alright, but essentially a
re-write of earlier material.  The only real reason to pick up the
1984, I'd say, would be "Hot for Teacher".

Once David Lee Roth left the band, they were garbage. Anyone who 
tells
you differently isn't a real fan (take THAT!) They may be guilty of
inspiring the very worse strains of hair metal, but the first few VH
albums are fucking GOLD from start to finish (just ask GEORDIE K.
WALKER).

'Jump' was their first big hit, - could tell you that the song was
cool

    Javier Javier Javier...............come and sit here ,I would 
like
    a
word with you................
  I can understand Alex liking the Exploited,(Maybe he gets home from
  a
mentally taxing day and likes to vegetate by listening to The
Exploited),I can understand Tin liking The Gonads(He's
young)........And I can even understand people liking Rush.
     But I really cant accommodate ANYBODY liking "Jump".Are we
     talking
about the same song here?The video of the song is a long haired bloke
in spandex trousers and white basketball boots and everytime he sings
"Jump" he eerrrrrrmmmmmm jumps,Jumps high as he can with his legs
spread and fire-works going off behind him..............Javi,Im 
disappointed with you ............I really am..........
      PW
The only way to redeem yourself is to go and watch it again and 
report
back how crap it is.

Ok, this will be the last message on this topic from my side as I
honestly don't give a tiny little damn about a lame band like
Aerosmith and Van Halen has been out of my musical interests since 
the
arrival of S. Haggar (before I used to like them, and still listen to
them some times). The original topic was other, and if I'm wrong It's
ok, no problem at all. I know Van Halen were Arena headliners before
'1984'. In my humblest opinion and at least in Mexico (and I'm sure
most Latin America) 'Jump' was their first big hit, you could listen
to that song even in a supermarket or your "young aunt" -who usually
listened shitty pop music for adults- could tell you that the song 
was
cool. When Sammy Haggar arrived Van Halen turned politically correct
and jumped completelly out of the heavy metal scene; by that time 
even
your mother could tell you she liked Van Halen songs (Why can't this
be love?). They reached wider audience, that made me thought they 
sold
more records by that time, but am I wrong thinking they turned more
famous in the Sammy Haggar years??

End of transmision

Javier - the mule ;)
