Top 100 Albums 20 Years Ago
Only two points to this post - Van Halen was arguably at their commercial peak at this time 20 years ago and wasn't popular music ALOT better back then?

Yes, popular music is MUCH worse today! I pray that Hip Hop dies soon!
Right Now you're reading my post!
I can't stand rap....people who can't sing do rap....you can sing rebellion as well as talk it....Hitler would have been in a rap band...
