Hey I liked Led Zeppelin III. And Houses of the Holy too. Was never too wild about Van Halen. No questioning Eddie Van Halen’s artistry but their lyrics are about as deep as a puddle. Of course one could argue hey, it’s only rock and roll and it ain’t supposed to be deep.
I recently started looking at Van Halen lyrics when playing their songs. They NEVER published the lyrics on their albums.
Yep…some of the lyrics are puddle deep.
But I never liked them for their lyrics, for the most part. Van Halen was America’s Zeppelin, except with a better guitarist and backing vocals.
My fav Zep album is Presence, so who am I to quarrel with your LZ3 comment?
The first Van Halen album with Sammy Hagar had the cut “Best of Both Worlds.” I thought it was the best song on the album.
