Van Halen - Van Halen II LP 80s MotivationsVan Halen set quite a precedent with its self titled 1978 debut, one of the most landscape shifting albums ever released. How does a band follow something like that? By making a record that's even better. And hard rock tour de force Van Halen II surely fits the bill. Granted, by the time this sophomore set appeared in late 1979, the world had already been introduced to Eddie Van Halen's pyrotechnic guitar skills and trick bag of jaw dropping solos.
