A few months ago Canadian singer Bryan Adams featured on a top 10 list of underrated recording artists. I say what about Def Leppard? Their last 5 or so studio albums received almost zero promotion by their record label Universal and radio stations alike. Some people believe that ever since Bryan Adams started working with producer Mutt Lange in the early 90s he has started to sound like Def Leppard. So, is it any coincidence that both Def Leppard and Bryan Adams toured together in 2005?
I think that Def Leppard got the recognition they deserved throughout most of the 80s selling millions of albums and completing non-stop sell-out world tours. Not to mention the two diamond awards they received for two back to back albums selling over 10million each. Since disappearing from MTV screens in the mid 90s they have continued to record albums and constantly tour the world. In 2001 they even had a movie made about them (Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story) and in 2005 they were amongst the first four bands to be inducted into VH1's Rock Honors, the others being Queen, Judas Priest and Kiss.
So I ask this, why on earth do a lot of music followers believe that Def Leppard is an 80s hair metal band that must've disbanded sometime in the early 90s? Either that or people say shit like their first four or five albums were awesome and the rest were all mediocre. Are they even a hair metal band? Obviously in my opinion they are so much more than that. Personally I agree with Brian May who thinks that Def Leppard is one of the finest rock acts to come out of the UK in the last 30 years. Even the legendary Phil Lynott had nothing but admiration for them.
A selection of Def Leppard songs spanning the late 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s:

The best band along with Gin blossoms in my opinion. They're Vault album (greatest hits) is a must for every human on earth.
-
absolutely underrated band. great songs, lots of hits. they got lumped into the big hair band craze and sadly died with the rise of grunge. 20 years later though, its easy to see why they were so popular.
-
Most underrated? Umm...no.
-
Didn't one of Def Leppard just get married to a emasculating black woman just days after being divorced from another emasculating black woman? And dude looks like Ellen Degeneres?

You're absolutely right. His first wife in the 80s was an actress and so sexy looking.

I agree with you about Judas Priest. I didn't really discover their music until 1994. Both bands are underrated in 2010 IMO.

DL does Rock, but I don't think they are the most underated band of the century

DL's first 3 albums were ok for the time. They should have called it quits after that.
Now WASP is underrated. :P
