Van Halen II

Released March 23, 1979

Van Halen’s second album proved that their debut album was no fluke.

Songs like “Somebody Get Me A Doctor,” “D.O.A.”  and so many more would turn the rock and roll world upside down as the most exciting new rock band in years would take a big swing at the emerging popularity of punk and new wave at the end of the decade.
