Hosts Dave and Joe tackle the catalog of the greatest band to ever hail from Pasadena, California -- Van Halen. Each release is rated from 0 to 5 stars and Dave and Joe each reveal their picks for the top 3 must-own Van Halen titles, as well as their worst overall release. 
- curated Van Halen playlist on Spotify
- The famous "Van Halen Zero" demos, recorded by Gene Simmons before they were a signed band
- Joyous live footage from 1979, especially the first song "Dance The Night Away"
- Tutorial on how to play the incredible solo from "Outta Love Again," a masterclass in efficiency
- Batshit crazy video for "Pretty Woman" that MTV aired exactly one time before coming to their senses
- Van Halen (with David  Lee Roth in tow) presents the 1996 VMA for Best Rock Video to Beck and  all manner of awkwardness ensues. Also the 90's were just weird
