- D - Def Leppard

"I suppose a Rock's out of the question?" formed in Sheffield in 1977, part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (including Iron Maiden, Saxon, Samson, Girschool and Motorhead) Def Lepppard have produced a number of essential albums over the years.

1983's Pyromania (Deluxe Edition) includes the hit Photograph, it was followed by Hysteria probably my first choice Leppard album for Rocket, Animal, Pour Some Sugar On Me and Armageddon It. The Deluxe edition now also adds b sides and live tracks; Alice Cooper's Elected plus a Rock of Ages medley (Not fade away, My generation, Radar love, Come together, Whole lotta love)

Adrenalize (Deluxe Edition) opens with the live favourite Let's Get Rocked. look out for the limited edition double disc version of Slang the bonus disc is a live acoustic set from Singapore.

Yeah ! is Def Leppard's cover versions album. You'll get reviews ranging from the worst album they ever recorded to five stars... I'll go for the five star review. The band start with a T-Rex cover, followed by David Essex and throw in Sweet, Mott the Hoople and Thin Lizzy. There are a number of different versions available of this cd with alternative tracks even a bonus version exclusive to Wal Mart Yeah! Bonus CD With Backstage Interviews which includes covers of Iggy Pop's Search & Destroy and David Bowie's Space Oddity.
