Def Leppard - Hysteria - YouTube It's all subjective to what your mind will allow over influences and opinions of others.

Hysteria (the album) is just a masterpiece. I can't believe that an 80s rock band could make something that good. Metallica is my favorite 80s band and for me Hysteria is better than any of Metallica's albums. Of course, Def Leppard have many other good stuff, but this album is just outstanding. After it, I think, due to Steve Clark's death they went down. Among all the same-looking and sounding 80s bands such as Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and many more, there are Def Leppard which surpasses them all.

Then they became melodic hard rock. By the way an enjoyable kind of. If we think that also radio oriented hard rockers can rock - and I adore this kind of bands - yes they rock, and rock good too |

This is true! I've copped flack for liking mainstream classic rock but it doesn't mean the artist isn't good! I love Def Leppard, I'm sick of Pour Some Sugar On Me but the rest is great and light hearted. I was getting into Animal and Hysteria the other day.

They came out with the same bunch of metal bands that were the milestones of NWOBHM and then, suddenly, their sound became pop/metal. With Pyromania they gained a lot of new fans, but lost the former ones. Both parts have their good reasons, I think |

I realized yesterday that there are a whole mess of Def Leppard songs I've never heard, such as their cover of "Action" by Sweet. I can't decide which I like better. I like both.
Def Leppard - "Action" (Cover) An infectiously energetic and happy song performed well. Def Leppard - Action (1993 Video) - YouTube The original: Sweet - "Action" (Sweet was one of the first bands that turned me on to rock music, but I'd never heard this song until yesterday) Sweet - Action - YouTube ^ Man, they have really nice hair!

What are some reasons you don't like the song? I'm curious, because I'm finding that the more I listen to it, the more I like it! The last three days as I've been thinking of other things, in the back of my mind I'll start hearing a beat and realize...hey! That's "Action"! And before long, I'm singing the chorus in my mind, quite happy. One thing I like about the song besides its upbeat sound and curiously frenzied guitar intro (that seems to be in a minor key, giving a disturbed feeling to the song), is that I'm not sure exactly what the song is about. Do the lryics mean "Do you want action" as in "Do you want an intellectual fight? Well, bring it on!" Or do they mean "action" as in, "Babe, do you still want to get it on, even though you've done me wrong?" Or both? I also like the song because it sounds confident, feisty, and kind of cocky. It reminds me of someone I knew.
