537 Van Halen - 1984

In January of 1984 Van Halen released their 6th studio album.
Though some in the band disagreed, Eddie Van Halen's decision to
throw off the shackles of pure guitar rock and embrace the
synthesizer as a lead instrument proved to be both a bold and wise
move, as it would get them to the top of the Billboard Singles
Charts and eventually go on to sell over ten million copies. Though
it would be their last with Diamond Dave on vocals, it would prove
to be the best output they would ever produce. Let's talk Van
Halen, 1984!
