      I wouldn't say that High 'n' Dry was a huge album like the other two. It didn't even have any hit singles, though that's not really a requirement. Adrenalize was easily their 3rd most successful album.

    Def Leppard had a unique sound that you knew an instant a song started, it was them. Once they grew out of their 70's sound which was not very distinctive, they really knocked it out of the park with their harmonics in both guitar and voice. What a band.

      @@aaronleesgbclieutenant Agreed, I think maybe it's "fantastic" if a person's never been to any concert before. But if you've been to more than a few, then Def Leppard's really not all that special. I saw them headline a show in London (the Apollo) in '06. Cheap Trick and SAHB were the "Special Guests". Cheap Trick absolutely blasted Def Leppard off the stage, while SAHB was also more entertaining. Some bands are just overrated and Def Leppard's one such band.

    From Wikipedia
    Def Leppard's fourth album, the more pop-oriented Hysteria (1987), topped the UK, US, New Zealand, Canadian, Australian and Norway charts. It also went to No. 2 in Sweden and No. 10 in Germany without any Top 50 singles in those countries. It has been certified 12× platinum for sales in the US and 13× platinum in Canada, selling over 25 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.[1] The album spawned six Top 20 US singles, including the US Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "Love Bites" (went Top 10 in several other countries including No. 2 in NZ), alongside "Pour Some Sugar on Me" (US No. 2), "Hysteria", "Armageddon It" (No. 2 in NZ), "Animal" (at No. 6, the biggest UK hit), and "Rocket" (a Top 15 hit in many countries). Hysteria had four Top 10 hits in New Zealand.

    First saw Leppard in 83 on the Pyromania Tour at the Capital Centre. Krokus was the opener. What a show. Probably seen Leppard a dozen times since, the last in Atlantic City in 06. Joe's voice isn't what it used to be, but they still put on a helluva show.

    I'm a couple months late to this party, but I've been a fan of DL since the late 80s when the first album came out. I'm with Birch on this one, the fact that the band stood behind Rick after his accident, gambled their future on his comeback speaks volumes on their integrity. 🙏 I hope to see them live one day, but Im not interested in seeing them in a multi band setting. I want to see them, MAYBE with an opening band.

    I went to the stadium tour at CitiField in Queens New York…..Poison was the best “live” band that day…..raw, full of energy, and they sounded great….and I was more of a Maiden, Ozzy, Dio, Sabbath guy back in the day. I never really listened to Poison except for what made the radio. Def Leppard had the best sound and stage show and they sounded great….. they just lost the tempo of the show by playing a few “new” songs in an acoustic set all in a row…..it just took the audience out of it if you know what I mean. All in all it was a great day.

    The thing that drew me to them was their harmonies sounded so great. Joe Elliott lead singer was hot. Still is. I saw an interview from Joe Elliott, and the reason that they had so many hits from this album is because they wanted to do what Michael Jackson did with his Thriller album. And with all of them together, writing songs with Matt Lange, they did it.
