5150 by Van Halen (CD, Mar-1986, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

I bought this disc because I realized that I only owned a copy of this album on cassette. I used to play sports like basketball and football when I was in Junior high and listening to some of the songs from this album was inspiring. Most people were very apprehensive about the future of Van Halen after David Lee Roth left to pursue a solo career, but this album proved that the band could carry on, shift direction and still rock. The singles from this album are actually my least favorite tracks (maybe because they were so overplayed on the radio) but tunes like "Good Enough", "Get Up" and "Summer Nights" are still great to me.

I like guitar. I particularly like this CD because it make me reminese of a previous time. I bought it because of the price.

Sammy Hagar resurrects the fallen Van Halen band after front man David Lee Roth exits. The album featues such hits as "Why Can't This Be Love" "5150" and " Summer Nights". With powerful new vocals from a veteran of rock and roll(Sammy Hagar)this album stays true to Van Halen form. Every song on this album seamlessly flows from one to the other and keeps you wanting more. This one is truly lighting in a bottle. Two thumbs way up!

ONE OF THIER BETTER ALBUMS SINCE DAVID LEE ROTH IS NOT IN IT SAMMY HAGGAR DOES A VERY GOOD JOB IN THIS ALBUM. NOT IS NOT MUCH I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS ALBUM AND RCOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT LIKE VAN HALEN.

This is one of the best albums that Van Halen ever made. Most of the songs on are still played on the radio today.

good transaction, cd worked great. Would buy from this seller again without a doubt. One of van halens best cds

One of the greatest albums of all time. With Sammy's writing ability and vocals, and Alex and Eddie in the band, it doesn't get any better than this.

Van Halen forged a path to the top of the world of rock, with David Lee Roth's outlandish antics (and highly intelligent direction) coupled with Edward Van Halen's insane guitar theatrics. Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen were one of the rock world's truly elite rhythm sections and together the star power of the REAL Van Halen was an inferno that unfortunately burned itself out during it's own meteoric rise.

With the addition of Sammy Hagar, Edward Van Halen found a lead singer who was interested in ballads, further keyboard experimentation and competition with the AOR rock bands of the day. "5150", the band's (and best) album with Sammy Hagar, showed a new Van Halen operating, one that was apparently a bit more interested in hit singles that kicking your butt with raw power. Edward was able to take the band in the direction/success that "Jump" hinted at, and "5150" was a smash success.

The downside is that Edward's guitar tone is lost, Alex relies as much on drum machines and electronics as he does on actual percussion, and the album is mired down by love songs. It's not the Van Halen that Van Halen fans grew up with and a brave new world was upon us...or was it a SAFE new world?

In any regards, the problems for Van Halen as a band were only beginning...

5150 IS ONE OF VAN HALEN'S BEST CD'S RELEASED. THE MUSIC IS GREAT! THE BAND REALLY DID A GOOD JOB.THEY ARE THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO!

This is the first Van Halen CD featuring Sammy "The Red Rocker" Hagar, and it ROCKS! I put it in on my drive to work, and it pumps me up! Fantastic, Rockin', YEAH!
