TOP 20: Van Halen

One of the few things I've really enjoyed from Eddie Trunk's radio show is his occasional Top 20 lists where he gives his own and then has others, from rockstars to regular listeners, call in to offer theirs. The recent Van Halen one was pretty interesting, with guys like Dave Navarro calling in.

I was curious how this board's top 20 of VH would shape up. Here's mine:
