Apr 2, 2014 · Who Is David Lee Roth? David Lee Roth played with a few different bands before joining Van Halen. The band released their first self-titled album in 1978, and quickly became a top...
- "Unchained" From: Fair Warning(1981) "Unchained" is a microcosm of everything that makes Van Halen one of rock's elites: Eddie's titanic, constantly moving riffs; Alex and Anthony's throbbing drum-and-bass grooves; Anthony's pitch-perfect backing vocals and Roth's defiant, king-of-the-world shrieks.
- "Everybody Wants Some!!" From: Women and Children First(1980) is proof that Van Halen was always more than just three guys backing their generation's best guitar player.
- "Eruption" From: Van Halen(1978) It took Eddie Van Halen less than two minutes to change the face of rock music forever, becoming the electric guitar's most messianic figure since Jimi Hendrix and setting a bar that no six-stringer in his wake would ever touch.

- Goin’ Crazy (1986) The second single from Roth’s brilliant debut solo album, 1986’s Eat ‘Em And Smile, is the perfect distillation of the DLR ‘brand’, a song deliberately designed to make the listener feel like this is Roth’s world, and we’re lucky to live in it.
- California Girls (1985) Truthfully we could have compiled a Top 10 DLR Cover Songs list here, with the likes Just A Gigolo and That’s Life contributing massively to the singer’s popularity in the mid ‘80s, but that’d be cheating, so we’ve confined ourselves to selecting this one, the outrageously upbeat Beach Boys cover at the heart of Roth’s Crazy From The Heat.
- Just Like Paradise (1988) As perfect a pop-rock song as Roth ever sang with VH, Just Like Paradise is one of those sun-streaked, convertible-top down, speeding-down-the-Pacific Highway songs which instantly transports the listener to California.
