VAN HALEN: WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST
Van Halen were a fairly established hard rock band when they cut Women and Children First in 1980, so they felt free to craft a heavier album lacking any covers. It was the perfect way to kick off the 1980s. Women and Children First, a record where the group started to get heavier, both sonically and, to a lesser extent, thematically, changing the feel of the band ever so slightly.
