Rock landfill takes fans to Halen back

Rock is enjoying a comeback, not that it ever went away. Those huge crowds mourning Ozzy Osbourne only told part of the story. New bands like Sleep Token and Ghost are making an impact globally, Led Zeppelin's streams are up by a quarter and reissues keep coming.

There's an abiding reverence for old stars - few bigger than Van Halen, who sold more than 80 million albums worldwide.

Formed in California by the Dutch-born Eddie and Alex Van Halen, the band are widely remembered for 80s hits such as Jump and Why Can't This Be Love? Balance, their 1995 10th album - re-released today as an expanded anniversary edition with live tracks - is not their best.
