According to Mog's weekly music reccomendation, "Anna recommends Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard."
I would like to thank Anna for bringing this album to my attention, since I have not listened to it since I wore it out in 6th grade. It was a peculiar time in my musical development since I soon was on a steady diet of hair metal that was to last until "grunge" slapped me into my senses. Yes, I was one of the text book many whose musical focus was changed by Nirvana an... MORE
If you haven't heard Def Leppard's latest, Songs from the Sparkle Lounge, do yourself a favor and have a listen. The band still delivers on this album. If you're a fan of their earlier releases like Hysteria and Pyromania, you will not be disappointed. The songs reflect an evolved sound but amazing drummer Rick Allen still plays as good as ever, Sav's basslines will still give you chills, Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell rock out on guitar and Joe Elliott's vocals soar!

The third and final band I picked up in drama class in 1983 for $4. I bought the cassette Pyromania by Def Leppard. It was...how can words describe? It changed my world. It was loud and dark and they were blowing up a building on the cassette cover. And when I saw the video on MTV, I was blown away. The entire album was great. Truthfully, I saw "Photograph" first, which, incidentally, was one of the first songs I ever learned to play on guitar. "Billy's Got A Gun"... MORE
This will be the 3rd or 4th time I see Def Leppard in concert. First time at a venue as big as the Tweeter Center, which is kind of a downer because it isn't as intimate of a setting and I won't be as close to Vivian Campbell. Man oh man there is just something about an Irish guitarist. ;o) be still my beating heart It's classic 80s music for me. I'll never be one of those people who forgoes mainstream just because mainstrea can get ugly. If it's music and I like it th... MORE
