GhettoFlip 12/03/19 4:47:03 AM #1:	I'm over a decade older than she is and listen to a good amount of classic rock and the only things I know about Van Halen are: -formed in Pasadena, CA (only remember this because I'm from LA) -members Eddie Van Halen, his brother ___ Van Halen, and David Lee Roth, later replaced by Sammy Hagar that's it as far as their biography goes. i only know these because as a kid I used to watch those VH1 restrospectives (Behind the Music, I Love the 80s, etc) music-wise, I can't even name a single Van Halen album. I know the names of 5 Van Halen songs -- Jump, Hot for Teacher, Running with the Devil, Eruption, and Hot for Teacher. Out of those, the only one I actually "know know" is Jump. I can hum that synth line and familiar with the "Jump!" in the chorus. Those other 4, literally only know the titles. I just listened to them right now and none of them sound familiar, except for that little riff before the chorus in Panama, weirdly enough. Even that big "PANAMA" in the chorus didn't sound familiar. --- #linning <cite>GhettoFlip posted [p:931036483] in honestly, ...

legendary_zell 12/03/19 9:23:37 AM #33:	What influence does Van Halen have on modern pop, electronic, indie, or even rock music in general? They were a popular act in the 80s, but they have no relevance to today. Just because something was popular in the past doesn't mean they're of elevated importance to anyone outside of that context. It's embarrassing for a black person and a rapper not to know Tupac because he's literally considered one of the goats of the genre Yachty performs in and was active in the decade he was born in. Van Halen were the kings of several decades ago in a very different era of music that hasn't had much effect on the dominant forms of music today, electronic and hip hop. --- https://imgur.com/0Bi86cp <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:931041474] in honestly, ...
