1984 (stylized in Roman numerals as MCMLXXXIV) is the sixth studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released on January 9, 1984. [2] It was the last Van Halen studio album until A Different Kind of Truth (2012) to feature lead singer David Lee Roth , who left the band in 1985 following creative differences.
Van Halen's first album with Hagar, 1986's 5150, was the band's first No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The three studio albums that followed, OU812, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Balance, also topped the charts. In 1996, Hagar left Van Halen amidst similar tension with the Van Halen brothers.

In addition, Van Halen made cameo appearances in the music video for Frank Sinatra's "L.A. Is My Lady", an episode of Café Americain starring his then-wife Valerie Bertinelli, and an episode of Two and a Half Men. [55]
Deal with it. 1984 is the album that pushed Van Halen into another tier of stardom, but the party didn’t last much longer. Egos and creative friction led to Roth’s exit a year later. That blows.
