Bringin' on the Heartbreak
Performer: Def Leppard
Distributor: Phantom Import Distributi Notes: This 2004 Def Leppard collection from Mercury features nearly the same playlist as Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits. A decent mix of radio hits ("Photograph," "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Bringin' on the Heartbreak") and fan favorites ("Let's Get Rocked," "Armageddon It"), Best Of may pale in comparison to 2005's two-disc Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection, but it serves as a nice anthology for longtime fans and an excellent audio lecture on pop-metal history for the newly converted. ~ James Christopher Monger
Before Def Leppard, heavy metal was associated with leather, studs, and motorcycles. After a pair of mega-platinum albums in the '80s, Leppard proved that pop hooks, hard rock, and good looks could equal massive success, hatching a slew of imitators in the process. Despite numerous setbacks such as drummer Rick Allen losing an arm in an accident, followed by the death of guitarist Steve Clark, the British band persevered, achieving even more popularity. Though they inspired legions of hair metal bands, their longevity is a testament to their enduring musical legacy.
