Any fans of the first "Van Halen" album by Van Halen? Hard to believe it's been 40 years. Still a terrific album, Van Halen's best album, and maybe of the greatest rock debut albums. Not only are the singles classics and still played on radio to this day, but the album tracks are also solid.

As I noted over on Music General, I own a lot of the Van Halen discography on vinyl, but their debut album was the only one I rebought on CD.

Every song from that album is a classic, and it remains influential today. Wulfhook's album "The Impaler" (2015) included a cover of "Atomic Punk": wulfhook.bandcamp.com/track/atomic-punk
