Top 10 Def Leppard Songs


welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Def Leppard songs
this list we’ve chosen our entries based
on a combination of the artists fan
favorites and their most commercially
successful song number 10 bring it on
the heartbreak and switch six to five
Oh
Steff leopard practically invented the
power ballad and stand out examples
include Love Bites have you ever needed
someone so bad or too late for love but
we’re selecting bringing on the
heartbreak attract whose music video was
one of the first to be featured heavily
on MTV
since its sometimes bundled with the
instrumental switch six to five we’re
combining them here to pay tribute to
the late great ski Clark
number nine wasted
Steve Clark passed on at the age of 30
he took some of the band’s magic with
him the guitarist was legendary for
coining some of Hard Rock’s most
memorable riffs and the band’s first
album was Boulevard
while their debut also offers fans epic
tracks like overture and when the walls
came tumbling down
it’s the ominously and ironically titled
wasted that displays Clark’s ripping
skills
number eight gods of war
with all the songs off it’s a side
release hysteria proved to be the band’s
best-selling album notable hits include
women
rocket animal
Love Bites and Armageddon
but it was the first track on side B
gods of war that really highlighted the
band’s musical prowess and lyrical
maturity
at side also gave us number seven
hysteria the title track to the band’s
massively successful album stands out
thanks to its melody which symbolized
the detail-oriented method to the
recording madness of producer maudlin
instead of the more conventional
technique of strumming the famous
producer recorded every note one at a
time his hard work paid off when the
single peaked at number 10 on the
Billboard Hot 100
you
number six Mirror Mirror
leopards second album may go down in
history as arguably one of the best
heavy metal albums ever thanks to tracks
like let it go
lady strange and another hit and run
but the highlight is definitely the
Steve Clark and Joe Elliott penned
mirror mirror just have a listen for
yourself to see why
remember fuck come in under fire on the
strength of tunes like Rock of Ages and
Cooling pyromania propelled Def
Leppard’s to superstardom status
though both are fine tracks that could
merit spots on a top ten list one of the
album’s strongest songs is coming under
fire
it’s just a good old-fashioned rocker
that showcases the band at its lyrical
musical and melodic set
number four diehard the hunter
each of pyromania size ends with dark
songs while side B has the stellar yet
gloomy Billy’s got a gun
we’re choosing side a’s ominous diehard
the hunter for our lips
why well because this six minute track
is one of the finest examples of Phil
Collen and Steve Clark’s dual guitar
style
number three white lightning
despite hitting number one in the US and
UK adrenaline failed to match the
euphoria of previous records thanks in
part to Nirvana and Pearl Jam having
nukes the big hair big sound of 1980s
rock regardless the album counted many
successful singles like let’s get rocked
heaven is and make love like a mess
but it’s white lightning that’s one of
their best songs ever
number two photograph
it is catchy intro riff and memorable
chorus photograph was the song that made
Def Leppard superstars in the USA
the pyromania number was also
accompanied by irresistible music video
featuring Marilyn Monroe so there’s no
way it wouldn’t make the list
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
so you let the Joker
you’re a dagger
number one pour some sugar on me there
any doubt taking the top spot is
arguably the hard rock tune of the 1980s
mixing glam metal with their brand of
rock and roll the song hit number two on
the Billboard Hot 100 in the late 80s
the single also cents sales of Asteria
soaring thanks to its crossover appeal
overplayed certainly overrated bite your
tongue
