“**💭 Thoughts:** Argued as both one of the most influential and greatest hard rock albums of all time, Van Halen’s self-titled debut album is packed with sharp, energetic drumming and legendary guitar work from Eddie Van Halen. To be honest, it was quite difficult to decide what my top three songs were, mainly due to the fact of how iconic, consistent, and well-written each track is.
