music is good but..................

Review Score: (8/10)
The Best of Van Halen doesn't really do the band justice.For the Diamond Dave portion,many classica are skipped.The Hagar portion is closer to hitting the mark,but it still lacks a few essentials.The songs that made the album are good,but this is an incomplete picture of Van Halen's best music.You'd be better surved with Van Halen,VH II,1984,and 5150.
