The older I get the more I expose my soft side for big bombastic glossy radio rock bangers the like Sheffield's Def Leppard's perfected on Pyromania and Hysteria. Good clean fun.

As one of the world’s best-selling music artists, Def Leppard have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, and have two albums with RIAA Diamond Certification, Pyromania and Hysteria.

They are one of only five rock bands with two original studio albums selling over 10 million copies in the U.S. The band were ranked No. 31 in VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” and ranked No. 70 in “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”.

Released in 1983, Pyromania was the album that launched the band into Rock Legend status; it was the first to feature Guitarist Phil Collen who had replaced Pete Willis. Containing the worldwide hits’ Photograph’ and ‘Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)’ which became huge singles all over the world. It also reached no 2 in the US charts and has been certified Platinum over the world.
