Rock Survey - Love Walks In (Van Halen)

Artist: Van Halen
Song:  Love Walks In


Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYXqb6x50lA

Quick Thoughts: An American hard rock band formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, this is the second entry for Van Halen on this rock blog, with the other song being "Cradle Will Rock".  A nice rock ballad, this song was written by Van Halen in 1986 for their seventh album 5150, a reference to Eddie Van Halen's home studio in Studio City, CA., where every album from 1984 onwards was recorded.   5150 is taken from the California Welfare & Institutions code "5150", police radio code for insane".

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  959
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List26

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
