By the 1980s Van Halen were recording hit after hit! The riff that opens ‘Panama’ is a delayed figure of sheer beauty, as is the entire midsection, over which Eddie Van Halen solos with his usual inventive brilliance and melodic awareness. A song about a car, Eddie’s Lamborghini can even be heard revving its engine halfway through – pure genius!
