Van Halen 1984 CD

Margo Nahas' illustration of a crying angel holding a cigarette – a mixture of the sacred and the rebellious – is regularly voted one of the 100 best album covers of all time and perfectly captures the aesthetic of what has been Van Halen's last album with singer David Lee Roth for a long time: “1984” is powerful and catchy, glamorous and glittering, stormy and heavy, wild and pyrotechnic! From the first notes of the atmospheric title track, David Lee Roth (vocals), Eddie Van Halen (guitar), Michael Anthony (bass) and Alex Van Halen (drums) go full throttle until the album ends with the stormy “House Of Pain.”
