Here is the situation. The earth is about to be destroyed, but fortunately for us we have the means to move to another planet. The only kicker is that we can't take much with us in fact only one cd can go. What's it going to be?
For me it will be tough, but I would take 1984 it's my personal favorite and top to bottom their best album I think.

What do you think?

Tough call. I think I would take the first album. Although, 1984 and Fair Warning wouldn't be bad choices either.

I guess it would have to be BEST OF so I can have a nice spectrum of all VH's classics.

Chances are BOV1 but what I would do if I could is make my own Best Of via burning the cds.Of course you'd have to have one but I know someone who does.

Thats a tough one. Probably Best Of, but if it had to be another, probably Fair Warning. Thats too tough to answer.

Fair Warning wins, but 1984, VH1 and WACF are really close.

I would say the Best of CD or a burned cd, but that is a shitty answer. So I would take the debut album, because I would never get tired of that one.

If I can get away with burning one I will. If not I take Fair Warning. Never can get tired of it.

EAT US AND SMILE!!!!!

I'm gonna have to echo Glen on this one it would have to be Fair Warning VH1 W&CF!!!!!maybe 1 from Hagar era would be BALANCE?

1984. nuff said.

That is near impossible to decide. I usually travel with two or three each of Van Halen and Led Zep because you never know. But the very first CD that I bought when I finally switched over from vinyl was the first, and I was late to work this morning searching for the damn thing, so I guess if I was forced down to just one, then VHI would be it. Quintessential Van Halen. I think I'll bring it with me to the hereafter.

------------------
Could this be magic?

I would take BOV1 but if you are talking non-live, non-greatest hits, that's a tough call. I love VH1 for it's raw sound but 1984 is appealing for it's all-around sound.
Looks like I'd take the first one.

Yeah, taking BOV1 or RHRN seems like a cheap answer. I'd go with WACF, probably the most diverse album the original 4 put out.

For me, it'd be a toss up between Fair Warning or 1984. I'd probably take 1984 'cause I think it's a little longer.

I know it has alot of covers on it but i like diver down. VHII is a close second

All i know is the closest to the end of the earth i've been to lately is ATLANTA Ga & its about 3 hours from my house & i've ALWAYS had Fair Warning,Balance,& VH1.but i usually take my case with all the studio albums plus BOVH in tow = )I guess that would be cheating huh?

Like Vinny says, Fair Warning with 1984 in close second due to length!

I'd take the bootleg "Covers band from Pasadena"--Van Rothin' live at Aero's Bogart in 1976.

Eat Us And Smile!!!!!!

This is just to unfair. I think atleast 2 should be allowed. I have almost every VH album in my car and keep them with me almost all the time, like when traveling.

Since 'BoVI' and 'RH,RN' are considered 'cheating' http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif I will take...

Either Fair Warning or F.U.C.K..

I guess I will take F.U.C.K. b/c someone on that damn island, who is a VH fan, will have Fair Warning. http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif

Couln't do it. What I would do is take all the Sammy CDs out of the pile along with Diver Down, VHII and VHIII, close my eyes and pick one.

I would take "Fair Warning"

I would take Fair Warning. But I would miss my other VH CD's........

That's what made me start L.S.D. Radio--for then I won't have to carry around all my cd's and listen at the office.

it would be a toss up between 1984 and Balance. since 1984 was my first VH album at age 11 i would go with that one as i have been listening to that one the longest.
