RANK THE SONGS on Van Halen’s Debut Album

by VHND — updated October 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

Updated Feb 11th: HERE ARE THE RESULTS!

Today marks the 42nd anniversary of Van Halen’s first album!

Today only, WE WANT YOU to RANK THE SONGS on Van Halen’s ultra-popular debut album!

Taste, especially in art and music, is subjective. Music critics rank songs based on performance and originality, while diehard fans go more by how the song made them feel when they were released, or the memories they spark now – 42 years later.

Today, let’s see how the huge fans who frequent the Van Halen News Desk rank all the songs. Which songs will take the top slots, and which fall short with the die-hards?

The RULES are simple…

  1. The 11 songs on the debut album are listed below, in random order for each person.
  2. If voting on you your phone, touch and edit the number of each song (from 1 to 11, 1 besing the best).
  3. If voting on a computer, DRAG AND DROP each song in order of your favorite (top) to least favorite (bottom).
  4. When finished, click “Finish Survey.” (You might have to scroll down to see all the songs and the “Finish Survey” button).
  5. Each person (each computer) can vote only ONCE.
  6. Voting ends tonight at midnight, Pacific Standard Time, February 10th, 2020.

The survey has already been completed. We’ll post the results soon Thanks!

Your rank order above is private, but feel free to share your picks in the comments below. We’ll show all the results tomorrow.
