Van Halen - Van Halen II LP 80s "I want people to knowVan Halen set quite a precedent with its self titled 1978 debut, one of the most landscape shifting albums ever released. How does a band follow something like that? By making a record that's even better. And hard rock tour de force Van Halen II surely fits the bill.
