In a recent article at Vulture.com, Chuck Klosterman decided to rank all 131 Van Halen songs from worst to best, and I kinda dig the fact that "Jump" didn't make the top 10. Klosterman put the 1984 staple at #16. I must say, I tend to agree with much of his list as I'm personally a DLR Van Halen fan. Nothing against Sammy Hagar, but if we're ranking the BEST songs for me, it has to be the first 4 albums.
Here's Klosterman's Top 5
5) "D.O.A." - Van Halen II
4) "Panama" - 1984
3) "Dance The Night Away" - Van Halen II
2) "Unchained" - Fair Warning
1) "Eruption" - Van Halen
