 | Hysteria by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $5.09 Their 4th and greatest collection. I ALMOST like High & Dry better, but the incredible # of hit singles FORCES this one to the top...and for good reason. Excitable was never released as a single, but SHOULD have been.

 | High 'N' Dry by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $8.00 Truly their greatest Rockin' music to date. Hard edges on unmistakable classics like 'Let It Go', 'Mirror Mirror', 'Bringing On The Heartbreak' and 'Switch 625' arguably one of the greatest instrumentals in hard rock history.
|
 | Pyromania by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $5.00 This was the true Breakthrough record in every sense...breaking records for a hard rock band and really putting them on the map. Stand outs (aside from the obvious) are: 'Comin' Under Fire', 'Action! Not Words' and 'Billy's Got A Gun'. A truly great record.
|
 | Adrenalize by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $0.98 A VERY under-appreciated release by the boys from Britain. Sure a lot was radio-friendly...but then again, almost ALL of Hysteria was, too...so what's wrong with that? Oh, and personally I thought it rocked, too.
|
 | Euphoria by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $1.24 An attempt to re-capture the *sound* from the 80's which was a mixed bag for most Leppard fans. I personally was shocked 'Back In Your Face' didn't become a hit release. 'Paper Sun' ranks as one of their all-time best power-ballads. 'Promises' is pure Pop Rock Gold.

 | Songs From The Sparkle Lounge by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.25 I'm gonna be crucified for this, but I actually really like this cd. Some honestly great songs VERY worth your time. It isn't a 'Hysteria' the Next Generation, but a great cd nevertheless.
|
 | Retro Active by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $3.95 Their 1st collection of rare B-Sides that is surprisingly good. Has a bit of a different sound, but not so different that you forget who you are listening to.
|
 | On Through the Night by Def Leppard
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $4.89 Leppards very 1st record was pretty dang good for its day. 'Hello America, 'Wasted' and 'Rock Brigade' are standouts. Funny how the title of the record ended up a song their album High & Dry.
|
 | Yeah! by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $4.89 The boys really went outside their comfort zone and released this collection of Cover songs by groups which inspired each member of the band while they grew up. Some hits, some misses, but all around I was pleasantly surprised.
|
 | Slang by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $3.69 Talk about an experimental experience! This was Leppards attempt to mimic a bit of the Beastie Boys Pop/Metal/Rap sound, and once again, some hit the mark, while others sound totally foreign to what they've done in the past.
|
 | X by Def Leppard
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $3.92 My least favorite collection of original hits...again, some LOVE this cd, but personally it was just so-so for me. Why? Cuz ALL the songs were ballads...NO rockin' songs at all. For me, that was a huge mistake. It's poor sales proves my point.
|
 | Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits by Def Leppard
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.47 This was their 1st major release featuring a collection of past Hits. It was more like a Hysteria Tribute Album with a few token hits thrown in for good measure.
|
 | Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection by Def Leppard
Buy new: $14.97 / Used from: $7.43 Finally a TRUE collection of HITS by my favorite band. I would've added 'Make Love Like A Man' and a few notable exceptions like 'Hello America' but all in all, a fantastic example of why these boys are one of the greatest hard rock bands ever.
