Since they’re such an influential band, let’s rank the best Def Leppard albums, with the help of your votes. Although Def Leppard formed in 1977 when British heavy metal was hugely masculine and the order of the day. The Sheffield-based quintet led by lead singer Joe Elliott cleverly dropped their dominant hard rock sound for a glossier, pop-rock sound. 16 hit remains Def Leppard’s clarion call to “Rise up/Gather ’round/Rock this place to the ground.” Despite containing few guitars in the beat-heavy verses (a composition similar to “Pour Some Sugar on Me”), it nonetheless does just that, reserving the real juice for when Collen takes the limelight with a blistering solo.British bred rockers Def Leppard are known as one of best bands of all time, and are a band that should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Between Elliott’s mile-high cries and Collen utterly owning the solo on the Pyromania track, it’s one of the quintet’s most passionate and best-performed songs. 12-peaking “Photograph” are the equivalent of revving an engine before a drag race. It resuscitated Hysteria‘s stalled sales after strippers began requesting it in their clubs, making it shoot to No. The big, loud, entendre-saturated arena stomper (the good-time lyrics are fairly ridiculous) is the best-selling Def Leppard song, per Nielsen Music. (Honorable mention: Retro Active’s “Fractured Love,” with its pouncing bass and percussion.) Its throbbing rhythms encapsulate the glory derived from a band falling into perfect performance sync. This Def Leppard song off Retro Active is an exotic-flavored sonic wallop that meanders for over five minutes. Its kiss-off attitude perfectly aligns with Phil Collen and Clark’s striking guitars. It’s more frenetic, but just as celebratory, even though it praises the chase instead of the catch.įrom the sound of the gathering wind to the nearly a cappella intro to Rick Savage’s foreboding baseline, this Pyromania hit is dramatic in all the right ways. 28 on the Hot 100, the third track from Pyromania to crack the chart. It’s carried by Clark’s silky acoustic intro, singer Joe Elliott’s rafter-scraping vocals, its “Fuh-fuh-fuh-foolin’ ” chorus and stuttering riffs. (Honorable mention: “Billy’s Got a Gun” from Pyromania, which closes the album with aplomb.)Īnother of Pyromania’s MTV-propelled hits. This ripper from High ’n’ Dry is barely three minutes long but doesn’t give an inch. One of the band’s traditions is indulging in journey pieces to flex its jamming muscles. (Honorable mention: Slow-but-steady burner “Paper Sun” from 1999’s Euphoria.) The High ’n’ Dry track gradually crests into one of the act’s famed catchy choruses with thickly stacked vocal harmonies and hits a high point with an ascending guitar solo. Def Leppard – “Mirror, Mirror (Look Into My Eyes)” (Honorable mention: “Ring of Fire” from 1993’s Retro Active for its similar hell-raising aural pyrotechnics.)ġ4.
