Def Leppard Kicks ass! i mean come on...Rock of Ages, Photograph, foolin....enough said.. :beer:

yup sure are...
 

yes a very good album and a very good band at that matter and very good drummer, but whats so great there just another band... Good though

I have some songs I do love, so I won't disconsider them. They are not my faves, but I have nothing against them either

they were great b4 pour some sugar on me came out. they went bubblegum after that. but pyromania and high and dry were awesome

Def Leppard
 

Yeah so i searched em and nothing came up. What are your thoughts on these guys? favorite album/song?

I think they're pretty awesome- love the guitar riffs.
Favorite album- Hysteria
Favorite song- Pour some sugar on me/love bites

Bag of shíte, hair metal pap. A couple of tracks from ON THROUGH THE NIGHT and PYROMANIA are not bad and i will admit that LOVE BITES is a cliched but well intentioned ballad. The image was what I hated. The poodle hair and HYSTERIA is so reliant on studio gimmicks, it goes against what they were. A working class English rock band. They sure have been through the mill band member wise though so respect to them for that.

Hysteria is so overproduced it could be any band playing on that album , It just happened to be Def Leppard.

Random fact : Def Leppard were the only NWOBHM band to get a John Peel session.

That is just wrong on so many levels.

I think this thread should be linked to the 'Best Producers' one. Here's why:

Where would DL ever have gone without Mutt Lange? He made them the stars they became. The band brought him the songs, and he turned them into blockbuster radio hits in the studio. When he dropped them, they died.
And his wife, Ms. Twain- is she really that good? Sure, she's lovely, but her voice isn't that great. Forgettable country-pop drool.

The point is, producers like Rock and Lange don't make albums, they make hits. The band are just a medium.

Best producer does not automatically equate to good music.
