What is below meh, because that's where I have them.

You sir win the worst opinion of the internet today. Congratulations.

Thank you sir.

But perhaps we forgot about the scintillating poetry of Hot For Teacher.

You didn't like that? Have you ever burned yourself with cigarettes or any other type of self mutilation? Some people hate fun.

you not being a fan doens't mean that they are meh.

Van Halen was fricking awesome. Just like with oooooh pretty much any bad that's ever existed, if all you ever hear of them is the 3 or 4 songs that the radio plays incessantly I can imagine you'd probably grow tired of them. Van Halen came out with a sound that was unique that people hadn't really been exposed to before with a combination of an all-time master on guitar, a stereotypical ringmaster style front man, and a harmonizing vocalist on bass. In adidtion to them all just being excellent at their craft, they simply kicked hella arse. Pure, straightforward, kickass rock. If you actually like hard rock, it's kinda not possible to not like Van Halen.

Man, I've got a young daughter, and she loves to see me playing air guitar and doing my DLR impersonation in the kitchen when an old VH song comes on the radio. It's just fun.
I'm into serious writing, more than most people, but there is a great place for just rock'n stuff. We all need it.

They were a Southern California (when SoCal was cool) party band that emerged through the fog of late 1970s disco and punk. They had a guitar hero, a bigger than life front man, and wrote hard rock pop songs. If you can’t find some semblance of enjoyment in VH, then you gotta be a glass half empty kind of person. They literally became one of the biggest bands in the world. That doesn’t happen by accident.

I will go back to I am not personally impressed and think their lyrics are poor.

Van Halen songs have lyrics?

I never went to a Van Halen concert or put on a VH record to be lyrically enlightened, or even properly sung to for that matter.

But if you wanted some pure, beer drinking party music Van Halen was a fantastic choice. Van Halen was the definition of fun.

Look at how edgy and cultured I am for not liking :insertPopularThing:
