    RockStories: Van Halen's "1984"
    Jan 18 2026

    Maybe it had something to do with the fact that a man named George Orwell wrote a dystopian novel about a society where “Big Brother” watched our every move. Or maybe it was the fact that we were about to launch into the computer age with the introduction of something called the ‘Macintosh.’ But something seemed very futuristic about the year “1984,” and perhaps it was that momentum that steered Van Halen into uncharted territory with their 6th studio album. Thanks in large part to the synthesizer-laden track "Jump," it would become the most successful album of their career up to that point. But it was also the album that would lead to the exit of their legendary frontman David Lee Roth — and that's just the beginning of the drama surrounding "1984."
