I like hardrock and I saw them live when they toured with the Scorpions somewhere in the stone ages and even then I didn’t like them and my view on them hasn’t changed.

Def Leppard is good for one thing. You're out at the bar and wanna score a 50 year old blonde broad in denim with fake tits. Buy her a couple drinks, play some tracks from Hysteria on the jukebox, and put your hand on her thigh during "Animal". When "Pour Some Sugar On Me" plays she gets up and starts dancing. Dance with her. I know you don't like to dance but it'll be fun, I promise. Then when "Love Bites" comes on you slow dance. As the title track starts you hug her respectfully and go have one more drink before going to her house and hit it until she has to wake her grandkids up for school.

Maybe that's just a southern thing but it works down here.

Sounds like a fun night out lol.

But seriously -

Embrace the cheese, people.

Embrace the cheese...

Altogether now:

" Love bahts! Love bleeds!

Iz bringin' me to mah knees......!!"

I used to listen to these as a kid and had the 4 up to and including Hysteria. I can't stomach any of it now apart from High n Dry, which I started listening again to recently and find to be a rather fine record. A fine melodic heavy rock record just on from the NWOBHM with ACDC and Lizzy influences. I've heard plenty of Hysteria era on the radio since and it's not for me. Pyromania I may have to listen to again, but from memory it's just a tamer version of Hysteria.

I would put High 'n' Dry up there among the best hard rock albums.
It has some excellent guitar work from Steve Clark and Pete Willis,
great riffs and it rocks harder than any of their other albums.
They were young and hungry, songwriting was improved, Mutt had them focused,
but he not yet purchased the Cheese Whiz that he would liberally spray all over their upcoming albums.
I listened to it last week and it still sounds great to me.

I don't think I would even call Pyromania hard rock.

I love Def Leppard, sellout or no sellout.

And no one's mentioned Hysteria. That album made being a teenager more bearable for me.
Their albums totally rock.
And Joe Elliott complained that Jools Holland has never invited Def onto his Later music programme in the UK.
I think there is an element of snobbery where it's uncool to like them but I don't care. They are great.

Out of the 2 albums put forward I prefer Pyromania.

Interesting fact: I saw on a wacky TV programme once that the song Pour Some Sugar On Me is one of the all-time most popular songs used by strippers to dance to in strip clubs. There's a sleazy fact for you lol!!

At the time of release, I could listen to High and Dry although I preferred the debut, On Through the Night. With High and Dry, I could hear the sellout coming... and with Pyromania, it arrived in all its vacuous, cheezy un-glory.

If I never hear Def Leppard again, it'll be fine with me.

Def leppard doesn't get a lot of love on this site.

Ironically both albums were huge throughout the world.
When the albums were released", everyone" enjoyed the music.
It was very cool to listen to this band.
For me, i dont mind listening to their music with 1 condition.
I can only listen to it once every 5 yrs.
Sorry.

Personally I think those are two awful rock albums. Thats the kind of corny, cliche, and boring dad-rock that made me stop listening to the radio years ago

lol. That's certainly how I felt when Pyromania was first released. Definitely two GREAT hard rock albums and two of the best from the 80s.
