Diver Down one is an album mostly about cover songs and instrumentals. it had super hits with the cover songs (Oh) Pretty Woman and Dancing in the Streets and a minor hit with Where Have All the Good Times Gone!. Some good instrumentals with Cathedral, and Intruder as a lead in to Pretty Woman, as well as the Little Guitars intro leading into the spectacular Little Guitars. Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now) and Happy Trails are possibly Van Halen and David Lee Roth at their worst. This one and Women and Children First are my least favorite Van Halen albums, but I think that this one is a little bit better because of its high points, although I think that it also contains the lowest points in their career as well.
