The Golden Age of MTV (1984)
I remember hearing this song regularly on the radio in the car probably around 1984 or 1985 or so when my Mom was driving me to kindergarten or 1st grade. The song was new at the time but I had no idea who Van Halen were. Years later, when I was getting into harder rock, I heard about Van Halen by reputation as this harder rock band with an amazing guitar player. I was shocked when I found out “Jump,” a keyboard oriented pop song I knew for years, was from Van Halen.
