Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of Def Leppard's Pyromania.
With Pyromania Def Leppard became a huge band in America, propelled by the hooky and radio friendly Photograph. They were good looking guys too, at least in a 1983 sort of way, and MTV mainstays. Our older sister bought Pyromania.
Rock Rock was the opening track and hearkened back to the band's glam-rock roots. While Photograph was pop, the band kept its' edge with classics like Rock of Ages. Billy Get Your Gun is a lesser known track with some great lyrics.
By the way, the band is touring this summer, and will perform Hysteria in its' entirety, which is totally cool. We'll be there.
They have changed quite a bit since being good looking in a 80s sort of way.
