G'day MrMaxwell, Thank you for your question. Hell, yes if you like Van Halen. As well as Jump, their best known song it contains great songs like Panama and Hot for Teacher. It was their last album with David Lee Roth who IMO was their best lead singer. The tensions in the band were begining to show with Roth to leave the band soon after. It is a must for Van Halen fans and rock fans in general. I have attached sources for your reference. Regards Wikipedia 1984 (Van Halen album) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_%28Van_Halen_album%29 All Music Guide review http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:0pfixq95ldte~T1 Saviours of Rock review http://www.savioursofrock.com/reviews/ReviewsVH1984htm.html Rolling Stone Review http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/236834/1984 Blender Review http://www.blender.com/guide/reviews.aspx?id=2367

I'd pay that much. Seriously, it was the most commercial Van Halen album with David Lee Roth. Eddie still plays an amazing guitar on this. Also my favorite work I've heard of drummer Alex.

Not to me it isn't; but, my friend Tammy would pay a lot more for it. She is a huge fan of Van Halen's.

Yep, I'd pay that and probably more for another copy of 1984! If you like Van Halen, that is the album to have, great memories on that one.

Dave writes his best songs here and leaves the group while on top of his game. In retrospect, it was a smart move for everyone involved. Contains the then 7 year old "House Of Pain" recorded for their first album
