As part of Amazon’s monthly MP3 album deals, Van Halen‘s Van Halen II is available all this month for only $5. The CD version is also on sale now for only $4.99.
Here’s where I justify the cost: MP3 songs are typically 99 cents each, therefore for Van Halen II to be worth the price, you need at least 5 songs worth having: heavy stuff – “Somebody Get Me A Doctor,” “DOA,” and “Beautiful Girls” BAM! (justify getting the album even at regular price!), but there’s plenty of lighter tracks on the album like “Dance The Night Away,” “Women In Love,” and the cover song “You’re No Good” (which was a hit for Linda Ronstadt in the 1970s).
Still need convincing to shell out $5 of your hard-earned money? Umm, it’s David Lee Roth-era VAN HALEN! It’s guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen shredding it up in 1979 — plus, check out his 1-minute classical guitar solo “Spanish Fly”!
This is a must-have album for all lovers of rock and hard rock guitar. For those of you who define the David Lee Roth-era Van Halen by their 1984 hit “Jump,” I beg you to expand your horizons with Van Halen II. On the flip side, if you like their hit “Panama” (who doesn’t?), then Van Halen II is perfect for you.
