Van Halen: 1984

Currently listening to Van Halen's 1984 album (actually released 1983, but hey...). I don't think I've listened to it in about 15 years (I have it on vinyl, not CD), but listened to it a lot in the late 80s.

I still remember all the lyrics and every note in the instrumental breaks! How much of a sponge was my memory when I was a teenager? And how come it doesn't retain half as much these days? Humph.

Good album though.
