1984
Van Halen

"Jump" is such a meme-y 80's song that I actually laughed when it came on. This is the kind of song I would never put on because its so corny, but if it comes on at a wedding and I've got some drinks in me then I'll be JAMMING. I haven't heard a single song on the rest of the album before, so I'm looking forward to hearing it. "Panama" is the exact same song as Jump. My comments above apply equally here. "Hot for Teacher" is a ridiculous and funny song. It feels like in the 80s everyone stopped taking music seriously as an art form and decided to just get silly with it. But they all got silly with it in the exact same way. Songs from this era are immediately recognizable as so many of them sound the same. I probably wouldn't ever choose to listen to this on my own time, but it's a lot of fun to have come on in the car or at a wedding. 6/10
