I'm surprised that something a guy in Def Leppard thinks is newsworthy.

I never really liked Def Lepard, always found them pure cheesy and corny. But their drummer losing his arm in that crash and continuing in the band one handed with a customised drumkit is one of the most rock n roll things I've ever heard. 9

I've seen Def Leppard about a dozen times over the years. They put on a good show, even if it is basically the same show every time. Hysteria was one of the first tapes I bought back in the day. Right along with Slippery When Wet. One of my favorites off Hysteria that I've unfortunately never seen them play live.

Slightly OT - but what should I listen to to get into Def Lep.


The only song I know of theirs is "Pour Some Sugar on Me" - which I'll confess I like when in the mood for a bit of 80s rock type stuff.

Leppard are never OT wink

I got your back on this Monkey. Their catalog is too big and they have no album that covers the whole Def Leppard vibe. I made a friend a Def Leppard Mix CD a few years back and after a week he bought tickets to his first Leppard show.

Here's my patented "How to get a friend into Def Leppard" It includes the best 2 songs from each album and 3 from X because although that album has a lot of ballads it also has some of Leps heaviest stuff and 4 from the new album because it is genuinely some of their best work.

CD 1
On Through the Night:
1. Wasted
2. Rock Brigade

High N' Dry:
3. Let it Go
4. Hit N' Run

Pyromania:
5. Too Late for Love
6. Stagefright

Hysteria:
7. Women
8. Run Riot

Adrenalize:
9. White Lightning
10. Tear it Down

Slang:
11. Pearl of Euphoria
12. Turn to Dust

CD2:

Euphoria:
13. Paper Sun
14. Kings of Oblivion

X:
15. Cry
16. 4 Lettered Word
17. Scar

Yeah:
18. Rock On
19. The Golden Age of Rock N' Roll

Songs from the Sparkle Lounge:
20.Go
21. Gotta Let it Go

Def Leppard (Self-titled):
22. Battle of My Own
23. Sea of Love
34. Let's Go
35. Wings of an Angel

Great list. I'd like to add:

Excellent choice.

Also, I forgot retro active.

Fractured Love, Ring of Fire and Desert Song  from that album are all classic.
Retro Active is pretty much an album made up of all the really heavy NWOBHM songs that Mutt Lange rejected from Hysteria.
