Dance the night away on 94 5 The Rock Station. The Q Rock station should play more Megadeth, Pantera, Marty Friedman, keep playing Alice in chains and play Fiona Apple.

Very overlooked after the great debut and before the strong Women and Children First. "Dance the Night Away," the kind of dark "Light up the Sky," "Spanish Fly," "Somebody Get Me a Doctor," "Beautiful Girls"... this album rules and is every bit as deserving of praise as anything else they ever did.

Yep, for me this is quite possibly the most underrated sophomore release in rock history. There definitely was no slump here! Having to follow up that monumental first album would have crushed a lesser band, but they came right back firing on all cylinders and gave us another killer record. Everyone loves VH 1, I've heard plenty of people say how fun W&CF is, and there's plenty of talk about how influential Fair Warning is, but rarely does anyone mention this one. With killers like Light Up the Sky and Somebody Get Me a Doctor this one is every bit as potent as their debut.

This is a great album, but it just doesn't have that one amazing song to make it legendary. 1984 has Jump, 5150 has Dreams, Van Halen (first album) has a couple, but this one doesn't.

Quite possibly the most underrated album in all of rock history. It came out right after their debut, so of course it got less acclaim than it should have. I can listen to this album start-to-finish every time, though. Somebody Get Me a Doctor and D.O.A. are prime cuts of Van Halen!
