- 'Photograph' If the slashing intro guitar riff doesn't immediately grab your attention, the bridge leading to the chorus will. But it's that monster chorus that makes "Photograph" an '80s classic.
- 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' It's hard to escape (or deny) the total awesomeness of "Pour Some Sugar on Me." Hysteria was already well on its way to becoming the band's biggest album when the song was released as the third single.
- 'Animal' "Women," the first single from the band's follow-up to their breakthrough Pyromania album, was a noisy bust. "Animal," the second of seven singles pulled from Hysteria, is much better and way more representative of the album's hyper-processed and sample-heavy production, made necessary in part after drummer Rick Allen lost an arm in a car accident.
- 'Rock of Ages' The second single from Pyromania begins with some nonsense words meant to evoke a sinister, medieval chant. Forget that.
- “Hysteria” (1987) The title track of Def Leppard’s fourth album, and their first Top 10 single in the U.S., had quite a journey to the top of this list.
- “Photograph” (1983) "Photograph" had its start during the High ‘n’ Dry sessions but completing it for their third album proved to be problematic. While Def Leppard was watching the World Cup in the summer of 1982, a disinterested Clark went into the other room to work and, during a break in the game, the other members heard a larger-than-life sound.
- “Pour Some Sugar on Me” (1987) The sound of rock n’ roll religion. “Pour Some Sugar on Me” remains the most important song the band ever recorded, but it was an 11th-hour addition to Hysteria.
- “Bringin' On the Heartbreak” (1981) Originally titled “A Certain Heartache," Mutt Lange sensed it could be the breakthrough hit. “Bringin' On the Heartbreak” kept the band alive while they took a year recording Pyromania – thanks to MTV, who put this video in constant rotation.
Seven of the twelve songs on their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, were released as singles. Def Leppard had been music video darlings since the earliest days of MTV, but now their videos were...
- Def Leppard – “Rock of Ages” Pyromania’s No. 16 hit remains Def Leppard’s clarion call to “Rise up/Gather ’round/Rock this place to the ground.” Despite containing few guitars in the beat-heavy verses (a composition similar to “Pour Some Sugar on Me”), it nonetheless does just that, reserving the real juice for when Collen takes the limelight with a blistering solo.
- Def Leppard – “Photograph” The classic first chords of the No. 12-peaking “Photograph” are the equivalent of revving an engine before a drag race. Between Elliott’s mile-high cries and Collen utterly owning the solo on the Pyromania track, it’s one of the quintet’s most passionate and best-performed songs.
- Def Leppard – “Pour Some Sugar on Me” The big, loud, entendre-saturated arena stomper (the good-time lyrics are fairly ridiculous) is the best-selling Def Leppard song, per Nielsen Music.
- Def Leppard – “Desert Song” This Def Leppard song off Retro Active is an exotic-flavored sonic wallop that meanders for over five minutes. Its throbbing rhythms encapsulate the glory derived from a band falling into perfect performance sync.
