Rock landfill takes fans to Halen back

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.
