    Not unbelievable to me! Van Halen I is the greatest guitar album of all-time, IMO. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
    "One of the reasons I left Sabbath was because Van Halen was blowing us off the stage every night. It was embarrassing." -Ozzy Osbourne

    "When I first heard "Runnin' With The Devil" on the radio, I was stunned and found myself dizzy, walking through my high school hallways thinking, "What was THAT?!"
    Eddie Van Halen was so innovative and kicked so much ass, and David Lee Roth was for a time indisputably the Greatest Man in America.
    If aliens came down and challenged us to a Battle of the Bands to decide the fate of Planet Earth, I would feel very confident putting early Van Halen forward as our champion." -Tom Morello

    "There is no heir to the throne of Eddie Van Halen. Nobody sits on that throne. Nobody takes that throne. Here's why it's different with Eddie: when a great guitar player passes, you just move on to another, right? But in this case, Eddie wasn't just a 'guitar player'. We're talking about a guy who changed culture and how we play guitar. He was like an alien coming in and fucking everything up so much that even the legends beforehand are like, 'Okay .. what is happening here? What sorcery is this?'" -Nuno Bettencourt

    I lost track of Spin in the late 80's...If Van Halen 1 is the middle of the list, I'd like to see the other selections...

    Was this like an "all-time best" list?

    You would have to read the shit to get it..

    Next time you are at the newstand just flick through to see what it is...
    The spin 20 refers to not just albums but anything from music to fashion to the latest movies and t.v.
    It's meant to reflect what the editors of spin classify as "cool" for that particular month.
    Spin tend to think that they have their finger on the pulse of popular culture.I just thought that the fact that they mentioned Van Halen in their mag was a key that the general press would really like to see VH reunite with Dave.
    Bigger than the Stones, bigger than the boy bands, bigger than mutha fuckin Britney Spears!!! [img]smilies/devil.gif[/img]
