High 'N' Dry is my favorite Leppard album...by far. 1. Another Hit 'N' Run 2. Foolin' 3. Photograph 4. Mirror Mirror 5. Let it Go 6. High 'N' Dry 7. Too Late for Love 8. Lady Strange 9. On Through the Night 10. Rock Brigade

10: It Could Be You 9: Another Hit And Run 8: Photograph 7: Hello America 6: High N’ Dry (Saturday Night) 5: Animal 4: Stage fright 3: Rock Rock (Til You Drop) 2: Let It Go 1: Bringin’ On The Heartbreak

The Hysteria album is musical perfection. The vocal harmonies, the guitar work, and the production values...so smooth and polished. The way the guitars ring on this album is nothing short of beautiful, and then there is the musical complexity of Animal and the EPIC intro of Gods of War.
@Michael That's just why I like it though. Glam has more relatable themes and lyrics, better production values, more fun factor, and musicians that are at least just as capable, and in some cases more, than any other style of rock. With metal, and glam isn't metal, you have one, maybe two tempos, and the songs all sound so angry. Why the hell would I listen to that? Especially with shitty vocalists like Lemmy and James Hetfield?
Mitch Colburn those things don’t matter to me. And the songs are too strong to be a ripoff. The only thing like AC/DC is the Mutt Lange production...and that’s a stretch. Lady Strange and Another Hit And Run are unbeatable. Pure NWOBHM
Joe Elliot was a great strong creative singer on the first 4 albums - 1. Stagefright - Perfect opening song for live show 2. Let it Go - AC/DC meets Judas Priest 3. On through the Night - tons of rockin riffs 4. Mirror Mirror - Unique 5. Die Hard the Hunter - great dynamic guitar solo section 6. No No No - Strong Screaming Vocals and metal riffs 7. Another Hit n Run - catchy rockin metal 8. Billys Got a Gun - Epic Journey 9. Armageddon It - Great Vocals 10. Rocks Off - NWOBHM!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve Clark is missed RIP
10- foolin 9- lady strange 8- mirror mirror look into my eyes 7- all I want is everything 6- stagefright 5- photograph 4- animal 3- Run Riot 2- Let It Go 1- Gods Of War

I don't have anything after Pyromania, and the first two are my favorite. I still can't believe how young they were when they put out OTTN; the atmosphere of it still holds up! Satellite has one of my favorite solos of all time, it just rips. A little sorry I haven't found any love for Sorrow is a Woman, but stoked that so many folks even know about the first two albums. Excellent video, thx.
My top 10- (countdown) 10. Comin' under fire 09. Let it go 08. Sorrow is a woman 07. On through the night 06. Overture 05. Gods of war 04. Bringin' on the heartbreak/Switch 625 03. Mirror mirror 02. Another hit and run 01. Die hard the hunter
Thank you for showing much love for Comin under Fire. A song that has stayed with me since I was 13 years old. ( I'm currently 44). Anyway, always overlooked and under appreciated. Definitely up in my top three from The Leppard. . And top 20 of all time. Love what you do Pete!
Thanks for doing this Pete. It means a lot. Def Leppard is my favorite band! My Spotify playlist is full of their songs. It's amazing how much they have evolved over the years. I saw them live with Journey 2 years ago. They still sound phenomenal! 1. White Lightning 2. Foolin' 3. Mirror Mirror 4. Desert Song 5. Love Bites 6. Bringin' On The Heartbreak 7. Billy's Got A Gun 8. Women 9. Gods of War 10. Promises Honorable mentions: Animal, Rock Rock Till You Drop, Rock of Ages, Two Steps Behind, & Where Does Love Go When It Dies
Great subject. Tough assignment! Love that you had Comin' Under Fire way up there. 10. Rock Brigade 9. Too Late For Love 8. Let It Go 7. Mirror Mirror OR Saturday Night OR Bringing On The Heartbreak 6. Foolin' 5. Comin' Under Fire 4. Photograph 3. Lady Strange 2. Hysteria 1. Animal
"Mirror Mirror" might be my favorite. When I was a Sophomore in High School, I first heard the "High and Dry" album. It blew me away. Fantastic. Good list as usual Pete. Cheers!
Great list, dude! Pyromania was the first album I ever bought, when I was 7 years old back in 1991. Still rocks fairly well, and its actually quite an amazing crossover album. To not lose ALL their fans, while still selling 9 million copies, thats one hell of a feat! Really enjoyed your countdown here.
A favorite track of mine was Excitable from Hysteria. A great party track of our back in the day. I have it on my driving playlist. The up tempo groove keeps you alert.
My Top 10! 10. Sorrow Is a Woman (On Through the Night) 9. Billy's got a Gun (Pyromania) 8. Switch 625 (High N Dry) 7. Hello America (On Through the Night) 6. Mirror Mirror (Look Into my Eyes) (High N Dry) 5. On Through the Night (High 'N' Dry) 4. Rock Brigade (On Through the Night) 3. Bringing on the Heartbreak (High N Dry) 2. Satellite (On Through the Night) 1. Overture (On Through the Night) Overture Reminds me of More Than a Feeling by Boston. Honorable Mentions!

Hey Pete, when I saw this I was very pleased to hear that your Top 3 were exactly the same as mine! Awesome job, the boys were so great back in the early days! So hard to keep it down to 10 but here's my list... 1. Rock Brigade 2. Let It Go 3. High n' Dry (Saturday Night) 4. Mirror, Mirror (Look Into My Eyes) 5. Lady Strange 6. Foolin' 7. Stagefright 8. I Wanna Be Your Hero (Original B-Side Version) 9. Wasted 10. Rock Rock (Till You Drop) Honourable Mentions: Rocks Off, It Could Be You, Switch 625, You Got Me Runnin', Comin' Under Fire, Action! Not Words, Die Hard The Hunter, Tear It Down (Original B-Side Version), Excitable, Run Riot, Gods Of War, Armageddon It & yes Pour Some Sugar On Me (Over-played but a hit for a reason!) Thanks for the Memories of great Hard Rock!!
My Top Ten:1. Let It go 2. Rock Brigade 3. Another Hit and Run 4. Paper Sun 5. Wasted 6. High N Dry (Saturday Night) 7. Rock of Ages 8. Women 9. Gods of War 10. Promises (I know its cheesy, but its awesome)
Kickass heavy-rock band; one of the best of all time. I really dig them a lot. For me, their best album is the tremendous Pyromania. And the top five songs are: 1- Die Hard the Hunter; 2- Rock of Ages; 3- Comin' Under Fire; 4- Rock Brigade; and 5- Foolin.
Nice list. I've never understood how Comin Under Fire has been ignored for 37 years. Only real beef is Another Hit n Run not being on the list. Definitely Top 3 song.
I was surprised that you didn't include "Desert Song", "Fractured Love" or "Ring of Fire" from The Retroactive compilation. They're the heavy deep cuts you normally gravitate to. Hard to complain about your Top 10 though. Those first three albums are the only reason I even click on a Def Leppard Top 10 video! I do love "Hysteria too but, you're 100% right that it's been played to death and it's not up to the same standards as the first three. Production-wise, it's pure pop perfection but, it wasn't the band we all knew and loved. Credit where credit is due, they survived some huge tragedies and came out the other side triumphantly and conquered the world again.
1- Let It Go, 2 - Saturday Night (High & Dry), 3 - Another Hit & Run, 4 - Satellite, 5 - When The Walls Cane Tumblin Down, 6 - Foolin’ 7 - Hysteria, 8 - On Through The Night, 9 - Sorrow Is A Woman, 10 - 10538 Overture.
Great list. Just subscribed. On through the night changed my life forever...I was 11. They were my music not my older brothers. Finding Motorhead was next...then things got crazy.
M’y top ten for you too check out. 1. Another hit and run 2. Women 3. Hysteria 4. Too late for love 5. Billy’s got a gun 6. Bringing on the heartbreak 7. Rock of ages 8. Photograph 9. Die hard the hunter 10. Comin’ under fire
Really glad many people mentioned Coming Under Fire, incredible song. My top 10: 1. Tear it down (original version) 2. Coming Under Fire 3. Billy's Got a Gun 4. Mirror Mirror 5. Ring of Fire 6. Animal 7. Die Hard the Hunter 8. Wasted 9. Switch 625, one of the best instrumentals ever IMO. 10. Armageddon It, especially the extended version. But really, they got so many great songs especially from the first 3 albums, it's difficult to make this list, haha. Also, I know Hysteria has been played to death, but at that time it's what we listened to in high school, so I really appreciated that album either way.
Here's my list: 10) Wasted 9) Rock Brigade 8) Bringin' On The Heartbreak 7) Let It Go 6) High 'n' Dry 5) Animal 4) Stagefright 3) Love & Affection 2) Comin' Under Fire 1) You Got Me Runnin' (those harmonies on the chorus!!!) There were some cool songs on Slang, but not top-ten material. Thanks for the video!!
Def Leppard’s metal days began and ended with the On Through the Night album. High N Dry is just a straight up hard rock album...and a damn damn fine one at that.
I watched it last night Pete...here's my top ten! 1) Let it Go 2) Hello America 3) Another Hit n Run 4) Wasted 5) Mirror Mirror ( love the vox by Joe) 6) Too Late for Love 7) Photograph 8) Switch 625 9) Foolin 10) Stagefright Honorable mentions: No No No, On through the Night, Rock Brigade & Lady Strange BTW I saw the tour the first time they came to america in 1980 opening for AC/DC Back in Black at the Pallidum \m/
My Top 10 1-Wasted 2-Rock Brigade 3-Another Hit And Run 4-You Got Me Runnin’ 5-Let It Go 6-Too Late For Love 7-Stagefright 8-Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop) 9-Work It Out 10-High N Dry (Saturday Night)
1 on thru the night - hello America 2 high n dry - you got me running 3 Pryomaina- foolin 4 hysteria - armgeddon it 5 adrenlinlize - heaven is 6 retro active - two steps behind 7 slang- slang 8 Euphoria- paper sun 9 x - now 10 yeah - rock on 11, sparkle lounge - nine lives 12 def leppard - dangerous Favourite albums and 2 songs so each each album huge fan
The magic of this band was in Rick Allen's lost arm. This band went to shit after Pyromania. 1. Mirror Mirror (Look into my Eyes) 2. Too Late For Love 3. Another Hit And Run 4. Foolin' 5. Comin' Under Fire 6. Lady Strange 7. Answer to the Master 8. Wasted 9. Die Hard the Hunter 10. Rock of Ages (corny verses, but catchy... the chorus is fucking amazing)
Foolin and Rock Of Ages. Remember listening to them, Iron Maiden, many others in high school 84 -88, cracking beers open on the local golf course at night.
I don't understand why they'd do that, it's my fave of theirs too, honestly I think Mutt Lange took more 'soul' away from the band than ultimately adding. Yes, he gave them stardom and cool albums (Pyromania/Hysteria) but also took out some of their fire...
@@felinefanII I agree although mutt dud produce high n dry. On through the night is no 2 though. I did get a great cd through Amazon called first stikes 1978_1980 which has Leppard at Paris theatre gig 1980 which is a must hear
felinefanII ...a? he was with them from high n' dry to hysteria. The first album isn't exactly a classic. Don't get me wrong ... its good hard rock metal but it's their first attempt. Mutt Lange took them to a higher level. Look at bringin on the heartbreak.. Not sure how you can say Mutt Lange took away their soul.
Great list Pete! Here's my top 10(not necessarily in exact order but listed chronologically). 1-Ride Into the Sun(off their debut EP) Highly underrated as well as not very well know tune from them. 2-Rock Brigade 3-It Could Be You 4-When the Walls Came Tumblin' Down 5-Answer to the Master 6-Let it Go 7- Another Hit and Run 8-Switch 625 9-Stagefright 10-Foolin'
Hi, Pete. I like your ranking albums and songs videos. Humorously enough, when you mentioned Comin’ Under Fire, I thought to myself I didn’t even know that song and I had the album back then. Wow, that was a trip for me to totally forget a song on an album I had back in the day. 🙂
10. Rock Rock ('til You Drop) 9. Bringin' On the Heartache 8. Photograph 7. Hysteria 6. High and Dry 5. Too Late for Love 4. Foolin' 3. You Got Me Runnun' 2. Rock of Ages 1. Let It Go

Bringing On The Heartbreak 6. Lady Strange 7. Wasted 8. Die Hard The Hunter 9. Coming Under Fire 10. Photograph Those are my 10 favorite Def Leppard but by far my 4 Favorite songs by def leppard that will never change are Mirror Mirror, Another Hit 'N' Run, Rock Ages and Foolin.
Love your list!!! Can't undersand why most of people prefer Hysteria than Pyromania either. Steve Clark and Phil Collen are one of my favourite guitar duos. I'm so happy that you put Rock Brigade on 1st place😍. Only songs I would add in this list are Statefright and Love Bites.

This is so tough for me, as you can tell by my name, im a huge lepppard fan. I really first got into them during the hysteria album, but i went back and bought all their older albums, and was a huge fan ever since. But i dont think they were ever the same after Steve died, he brought a heaviness to the band that they've lost since he died. He was such a unique player, he is sorely missed. Ill take a shot at this: 10. High and dry 9. Too late for love 8. Women 7. Hit and run 6. Billys got a gun 5. Comin under fire 4. Wasted 3. Animal 2. Hysteria 1. Gods of War
1. Let it Go, 2. Overture, 3. Heartbreak/Switch 625, 4. No No No, 5. Getcha Rocks Off, 6. Ride Into The Sun, 7. Dangerous, 8. Stagefright, 9. Mirror Mirror, 10. Lady Strange
Seen one mention as to Dangerous. That song has everything i ever liked about Def Leppard, and i come from a time when i bought all the early singles. As "metal" as anything they've ever done.
10. Hysteria 9. Bringin' On The Heartbreak/Switch 625 8. Comin' Under Fire 7. Die Hard The Hunter 6. Women 5. Love Bites 4. Tonight 3. Mirror Mirror (Look Into My Eyes) 2. Too Late For Love 1. Foolin'

Although the first four albums were indeed Def Leppard in their prime, they also had some amazing track on other albums. Thus, here are some of my favorite tracks from Adrenalize forward: Have You Ever Needed Someone so Bad? Just a great power ballad that would have been a megahit if not for the rise of Grunge, which delegated most non-grunge bands to obscurity White Lightning: A great epic song that was probably one of their strongest in terms of lyrics. Fractured Love: A great song on the compilation album RetroActive. Taken from the Hysteria recording sessions, this was a very fine heavy song. Pearl of Euphoria: Slang is rightfully maligned as a failed attempt by the band to modernize its sound to fit the post-grunge era, but this is truly an awesome closer to that album. Now: My favorite DL track in the new millenium, this has such a great feel to it. Plus, the video for the song, which follows the ownership of a Def Leppard T-Shirt over the years, is one of the band's best.
Mine're pretty much what most people have so I'll add mine. 1. Rock Rock 'Till You Drop 2. Die Hard the Hunter 3. Wasted 4. Hello America 5. Saturday Night High n Dry 6. Stage Fright 7. Women 8. Exciteable 9. Switch 625 10. On Through the Night

Hey Pete, really digging your uploads recently I would really like you to start a series of some of your favorite most underrated/deep cuts by a band/solo artist Going deeply into their lesser known materials and why you love it so much Would be cool
Can't actually do a top ten cuz it changes on a daily basis.... My favorite Song is Animal because of where it hit in my life. I do have to thank you for giving props to my absolute favorite song off Pyromania, Comin' Under Fire. such a great heavy, moody song! Also you mentioned my absolute favorite High N Dry track, Mirror Mirror (Look Into My Eyes). Such a great heavy song and Elliot nailed this one. Absolutely love the lyrics. Anytime I hear someone say Leppard aren't metal, I ask them if they've heard the first two albums or the really kick a** rockin' tunes from Pyromania. Also, Run Riot from Hysteria is a throwback a**kicker. It just ROCKS!

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you like Pyromania?
Switch 625 , so glad you gave an honorable mention, a gem by riff master Steve Clark, definitely in my top-of list.
The Hysteria album is musical perfection. The vocal harmonies, the guitar work, and the production values...so smooth and polished. The way the guitars ring on this album is nothing short of beautiful, and then there is the musical complexity of Animal and the EPIC intro of Gods of War.
@Michael That's just why I like it though. Glam has more relatable themes and lyrics, better production values, more fun factor, and musicians that are at least just as capable, and in some cases more, than any other style of rock. With metal, and glam isn't metal, you have one, maybe two tempos, and the songs all sound so angry. Why the hell would I listen to that? Especially with shitty vocalists like Lemmy and James Hetfield?
Mitch Colburn also Run riot
Meh. Give me High N Dry.
@@ultrahighgain412 It's okay but it's not polished enough, not musically complex and doesn't have great harmonies. It's essentially an AC/DC ripoff.
Mitch Colburn those things don’t matter to me. And the songs are too strong to be a ripoff. The only thing like AC/DC is the Mutt Lange production...and that’s a stretch. Lady Strange and Another Hit And Run are unbeatable. Pure NWOBHM
Joe Elliot was a great strong creative singer on the first 4 albums -
1. Stagefright - Perfect opening song for live show
2. Let it Go - AC/DC meets Judas Priest
3. On through the Night - tons of rockin riffs
4. Mirror Mirror - Unique
5. Die Hard the Hunter - great dynamic guitar solo section
6. No No No - Strong Screaming Vocals and metal riffs
7. Another Hit n Run - catchy rockin metal
8. Billys Got a Gun - Epic Journey
9. Armageddon It - Great Vocals
10. Rocks Off - NWOBHM!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve Clark is missed RIP

I don't have anything after Pyromania, and the first two are my favorite. I still can't believe how young they were when they put out OTTN; the atmosphere of it still holds up! Satellite has one of my favorite solos of all time, it just rips. A little sorry I haven't found any love for Sorrow is a Woman, but stoked that so many folks even know about the first two albums. Excellent video, thx.

Thank you for showing much love for Comin under Fire. A song that has stayed with me since I was 13 years old. ( I'm currently 44). Anyway, always overlooked and under appreciated. Definitely up in my top three from The Leppard. . And top 20 of all time. Love what you do Pete!
Thanks for doing this Pete. It means a lot. Def Leppard is my favorite band! My Spotify playlist is full of their songs. It's amazing how much they have evolved over the years. I saw them live with Journey 2 years ago. They still sound phenomenal!

"Mirror Mirror" might be my favorite. When I was a Sophomore in High School, I first heard the "High and Dry" album. It blew me away. Fantastic. Good list as usual Pete. Cheers!
Steve Clark and Pete Willis were an amazing guitar duo. After that, not so much...
* edit - check out Desert Song
Yeah saw them when they were still teenagers. Pity it didn't go so well for Willis.
Or Clark - he died from alcohol poisoning/drug overdose.
Wood Bruthas love Desert Song!
Straight Rock Sound it was
@@63mckenzie Or Rick Allen who lost His Right Arm in an accident.
I allways liked "it could be you" and "answer to the master" of their first album.
Absolutely!! My 2 favorite tracks as well since 1980 when I purchased the LP.
@@zapped56 Yeah! Highly underrated tunes, highly underrated album!
nailed it. these are the main songs for me on that album.
Rocks Off, that song smokes.
sorrow is a woman
"Me and My Wine " definitely expected that would've made at least an honorable mention.
The Music Video is funny
don't get any better than that kidney punch of a song! So cool to see it mentioned-and what an awesome video!
Awesome tune.
Def Leppard était mon premier concert en 1981 pour la tournée High 'n' dry en avant-groupe de Judas Priest.ENORME.Ces 2 concerts ont changés ma vie.
Agreed, DL had run its course by Hysteria. Still think On Through The Night was their best. Best song - Sorrow is a Woman. Killer intro!
Great to hear Rick Allen drumming in that song so young
Great list, dude! Pyromania was the first album I ever bought, when I was 7 years old back in 1991. Still rocks fairly well, and its actually quite an amazing crossover album. To not lose ALL their fans, while still selling 9 million copies, thats one hell of a feat! Really enjoyed your countdown here.
Me and My Wine! Always loved that track.
1 Bringin' on the Heartbreak
2 Love Bites
3 Foolin'
4 Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad
5 Too Late For Love
A favorite track of mine was Excitable from Hysteria. A great party track of our back in the day. I have it on my driving playlist. The up tempo groove keeps you alert.

Thanks for the Memories of great Hard Rock!!
My Top Ten:1. Let It go 2. Rock Brigade 3. Another Hit and Run 4. Paper Sun 5. Wasted 6. High N Dry (Saturday Night) 7. Rock of Ages 8. Women 9. Gods of War 10. Promises (I know its cheesy, but its awesome)
Kickass heavy-rock band; one of the best of all time. I really dig them a lot. For me, their best album is the tremendous Pyromania. And the top five songs are: 1- Die Hard the Hunter; 2- Rock of Ages; 3- Comin' Under Fire; 4- Rock Brigade; and 5- Foolin.
Nice list. I've never understood how Comin Under Fire has been ignored for 37 years. Only real beef is Another Hit n Run not being on the list. Definitely Top 3 song.
I was surprised that you didn't include "Desert Song", "Fractured Love" or "Ring of Fire" from The Retroactive compilation. They're the heavy deep cuts you normally gravitate to. Hard to complain about your Top 10 though. Those first three albums are the only reason I even click on a Def Leppard Top 10 video! I do love "Hysteria too but, you're 100% right that it's been played to death and it's not up to the same standards as the first three. Production-wise, it's pure pop perfection but, it wasn't the band we all knew and loved. Credit where credit is due, they survived some huge tragedies and came out the other side triumphantly and conquered the world again.
1- Let It Go, 2 - Saturday Night (High & Dry), 3 - Another Hit & Run, 4 - Satellite, 5 - When The Walls Cane Tumblin Down, 6 - Foolin’ 7 - Hysteria, 8 - On Through The Night, 9 - Sorrow Is A Woman, 10 - 10538 Overture.
Great list. Just subscribed. On through the night changed my life forever...I was 11. They were my music not my older brothers. Finding Motorhead was next...then things got crazy.
Tough one for me, one of my favorite bands from that era

I love your Gentle Giant- Free Hand shirt!!🎤🎸🎵🥁

3. Another Hit And Run
4. Foolin'
5. Comin' Under Fire
6. Lady Strange
7. Answer to the Master

10. Rock of Ages (corny verses, but catchy... the chorus is fucking amazing)
Foolin and Rock Of Ages. Remember listening to them, Iron Maiden, many others in high school 84 -88, cracking beers open on the local golf course at night.
Some of my all time favourite Leppard tracks have always been dark horses on their albums:
White Lightning
Love and Affection
Rock Rock Til You Drop
I like the first two albums. I don't care for the rest. Let It Go my favourite track.
I agree with the first two albums!!
On Through the Night is a NWOBHM masterpiece
Yes.
Agree
I don't understand why they'd do that, it's my fave of theirs too, honestly I think Mutt Lange took more 'soul' away from the band than ultimately adding. Yes, he gave them stardom and cool albums (Pyromania/Hysteria) but also took out some of their fire...
@@felinefanII I agree although mutt dud produce high n dry. On through the night is no 2 though. I did get a great cd through Amazon called first stikes 1978_1980 which has Leppard at Paris theatre gig 1980 which is a must hear
felinefanII ...a? he was with them from high n' dry to hysteria. The first album isn't exactly a classic. Don't get me wrong ... its good hard rock metal but it's their first attempt. Mutt Lange took them to a higher level. Look at bringin on the heartbreak.. Not sure how you can say Mutt Lange took away their soul.
Great list Pete! Here's my top 10(not necessarily in exact order but listed chronologically). 1-Ride Into the Sun(off their debut EP) Highly underrated as well as not very well know tune from them. 2-Rock Brigade 3-It Could Be You 4-When the Walls Came Tumblin' Down 5-Answer to the Master 6-Let it Go 7- Another Hit and Run 8-Switch 625 9-Stagefright 10-Foolin'
Hi, Pete. I like your ranking albums and songs videos. Humorously enough, when you mentioned Comin’ Under Fire, I thought to myself I didn’t even know that song and I had the album back then. Wow, that was a trip for me to totally forget a song on an album I had back in the day. 🙂

Those are my 10 favorite Def Leppard but by far my 4 Favorite songs by def leppard that will never change are Mirror Mirror, Another Hit 'N' Run, Rock Ages and Foolin.
Love your list!!! Can't undersand why most of people prefer Hysteria than Pyromania either. Steve Clark and Phil Collen are one of my favourite guitar duos. I'm so happy that you put Rock Brigade on 1st place😍. Only songs I would add in this list are Statefright and Love Bites.
I bought Hysteria on cassette the week it came out. Totally different sound for DL. Wasn't bad. But the first 3 Lep albums will always be the DL I choose to remember best
Favorite song: Die Hard the Hunter, guilty pleasure : Personal Property(it could have been a Steel Panther song lol)
Mirror Mirror was the first tune I ever heard (a late night double-shot along with On Through The Night). Still a favorite.
Tear It Down and Personal Property pretty rocking tracks from Adrenalize (1992)
Hysteria is what got me into Def Leppard. Only after playing that album to death did I then go back and listen to the rest of the catalog.
i agree with comin under fire, run riot, but my favorite is rock rock til u drop, great vid as always keep it up
1 - Love Bites
2 - Bringin on the Heartbreak
3 - Rocket
4 - Animal
5 - Amergeddon It
6 - High n Dry (Saturday Night)
7 - Foolin
8 - Gods of War

I liked your list. I would add Bringing on the Heartbreak into the top 10. Some other great songs, White Lightening, Paper Sun, walls came tummblin down was awesome!

This is so tough for me, as you can tell by my name, im a huge lepppard fan. I really first got into them during the hysteria album, but i went back and bought all their older albums, and was a huge fan ever since. But i dont think they were ever the same after Steve died, he brought a heaviness to the band that they've lost since he died. He was such a unique player, he is sorely missed. Ill take a shot at this:
10. High and dry
9. Too late for love

Although the first four albums were indeed Def Leppard in their prime, they also had some amazing track on other albums. Thus, here are some of my favorite tracks from Adrenalize forward:
Have You Ever Needed Someone so Bad? Just a great power ballad that would have been a megahit if not for the rise of Grunge, which delegated most non-grunge bands to obscurity
White Lightning: A great epic song that was probably one of their strongest in terms of lyrics.
Fractured Love: A great song on the compilation album RetroActive. Taken from the Hysteria recording sessions, this was a very fine heavy song.
Pearl of Euphoria: Slang is rightfully maligned as a failed attempt by the band to modernize its sound to fit the post-grunge era, but this is truly an awesome closer to that album.
Now: My favorite DL track in the new millenium, this has such a great feel to it. Plus, the video for the song, which follows the ownership of a Def Leppard T-Shirt over the years, is one of the band's best.
Mine're pretty much what most people have so I'll add mine.

Hey Pete, really digging your uploads recently
I would really like you to start a series of some of your favorite most underrated/deep cuts by a band/solo artist
Going deeply into their lesser known materials and why you love it so much
Would be cool
Can't actually do a top ten cuz it changes on a daily basis.... My favorite Song is Animal because of where it hit in my life. I do have to thank you for giving props to my absolute favorite song off Pyromania, Comin' Under Fire. such a great heavy, moody song! Also you mentioned my absolute favorite High N Dry track, Mirror Mirror (Look Into My Eyes). Such a great heavy song and Elliot nailed this one. Absolutely love the lyrics. Anytime I hear someone say Leppard aren't metal, I ask them if they've heard the first two albums or the really kick a** rockin' tunes from Pyromania. Also, Run Riot from Hysteria is a throwback a**kicker. It just ROCKS!
