Its considered a racial slur here in the UK, but I don't think I've ever heard it used though.

I had both of these in the 80's, and I think I burned the Pyro one at some point. It was a time when there were sides to take and lines to be drawn. The true rockers went with Ratt, and anyone who listened to Def Leppard was considered a pansy. As absurd as this sounds, it's just how things were at that time around my group of friends. I remember trying to learn the dual guitar solo on Round & Round, with little success at that time, but always thought it to be one of the highlights of the album. I even went and bought the follow up to that since it had Lay It Down, which to me is their best tune out of anything they've ever done.

These days I've grown to really like Def Leppard, and have "seen the light" as they say. I've made some compilation CD's that are chock full of tunes from Pyro, and genuinely enjoy the guitar riffs, and glistening production on them. I've pretty much abandoned Ratt and can't stand anything I used to like these days... meh, people change.. oh, and I can remember when Def Leppard could still hear too.

Def Leppard 9
Ratt 3

Uh-oh, I think teenage Plankton would have given teenage Unknown Soldier a wedgie.

Something tells me the denizens of this site have all had their experiences with wedgies.

You guys have been watching too many National Lampoons and Police Academy films.

I'm not actually sure I've seen an entire Police Academy police.

I'm sure Leopards are faster than rats anyway.

And I'm super excited that I don't have to go track down any albums for this round!
