Pyromania
Def Leppard
Island / Mercury, 1990
The Album that seriously put Def Leppard on the MAP
While I love to brag that I discovered Def Leppard before the "Masses" did after Pyromania literally exploded on the scene, it truly doesn't matter when you discover them--only that you do. While 'High 'N Dry' remains (probably) my all-time favorite Leppard release, ...

Songs From The Sparkle Lounge
Def Leppard
Mercury, 2008
Ladies and Gentlemen,...please welcome back Def Leppard!!!
Songs From The Sparkle Lounge is a very solid recording from this legendary outfit, known to the world as Def Leppard. No, this isn't Hysteria Part 2. Hysteria cannot be reproduced, but it can be revisited in a way that doesn't make them seen like they have lost ...

Euphoria
Def Leppard
Island / Mercury, 1999
Commercial rock heaven!
Do you love music with heavy production and huge vocal harmonies? Are you always looking for songs with massive hooks? Then this is the album for you! This has everything a fan of heavily produced commercial rock could ever want. I love this album and think it's a ...

Hysteria
Def Leppard
Island / Mercury, 1987
The Perfect 80's Rock Album
This was the first album I ever bought back in 1988. I remember having my dad take me to the music store and him not understanding why they misspelled "deaf" and "leopard" in the band's name. Anyway, I wore this tape out and I am still not tired of listening to it. ...

High 'N' Dry
Def Leppard
Island / Mercury, 1992
The First Classic Album
This is tied for my favorite Def Leppard album along with Hysteria. Mutt Lange infused ideas from his days producing AC/DC with the more pop oriented and raw talent of early Def Leppard. The result is an album that is raw and melodic. Not quite heavy metal but it ...

Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits
Def Leppard
Island / Mercury, 1995
Good Collection
This is another Greatest Hits package I have picked up to fill in for missing/lost CDs.
It has all the hits that I remember from the Pyromania and Hysteria when Def Leppard was their most popular. I know they had a couple of records before then, but I never really ...

Adrenalize
Def Leppard
Island / Mercury, 1992
Steve would be proud!
I reluctantly bought this CD because I am a huge Steve Clark fan and it was done after his death. I figured it couldn't have been any good if Steve wasn't involved. I couldn't have been more wrong. First of all, the Leps dedicated the CD to Steve, along with the ...

magic number 12
People dont realize that def leppard had good albums before pyromania and Hysteria.This album is the perfect example! On this album some songs are better than others but on this album you can listen to the whole thing and not skip a song. People overlook this album and ...

Excellent choices and CD selections.

Slang
Def Leppard
Island / Mercury, 1996
A departure, but in a good way
Some DL fans hate this album because it's such a departure from their normal grinding rock, but this band is nothing if not adaptable - and this grunge-y, dark sound is what was saturating the airwaves at the time. I think 'Slang' is terrific, and quite a bit better ...

X
Def Leppard
Island, 2002
Def Leppard Makes a Pop Record
Realistically, bands like Bon Jovi are far, FAR from anything even close to hard rock music. Bon Jovi is pop metal's equivalent to what Good Charlotte and Simple Plan are to punk rock. And Def Leppard chose to go the route of Bon Jovi on this 2002 release, "X." The ...
