    My first concert was Grand Funk Railroad in like 1970. My mom drove us to Seattle

    I spent the 80's listening to funk and dance music

    The very earliest stuff is the best. It got a little poppy there in the early 90s. Every fucking fraternity on campus could not stop playing "Pour Some Sugar" day and fucking night. You could hear it from the fucking Ave. Those frat boys really loved their Def Leppard back in the day.

    Let it Go and High and Dry - good shit.

    Fun Fact: Pete Doubleday, the managing partner of EY's Portland office, was in the band that was to become Def Leppard. The guy actually did what is the right thing for 99.999% of the people 99.999% of the time by quitting the rock business and becoming an accountant. He didn't.

    But in fairness, as the managing partner in Portland, and having run their London office, he's a fairly senior guy in a global firm and is not hurting for money.

    For the Fait accompli, guaranteed to annoy I present another guilty pleasure:

    The only guilt associated with The Sundays would be not liking them. Great band, or at least a great album.

    Plus, he's alive and I'm assuming has two arms. That means he's better off than half the band.

    Whatever album that was with Pour Some Sugar on it was a piece of shit. Hysteria? I knew it was garbage when the girl I was with at the time bought it. Her musical taste was horrific.

    On Through The Night, High n Dry and Pyromania were all good albums, though. They got paid with Hysteria, like Metallica did with the black album. Garbage compared to their earlier work, but big sellers.

    Money is bad for bands. They always make better music when they're poor.
    Entirely agree. Hysteria had some shit bubble gum music for the frat boy crowd, who eats that shit up. Rocket. Yeah. See ya later! Rocket. Yeah. See ya later. Armagedonit? Jesus. Garbage pop rock.

    On Through The Night isn't that good, but you can hear the seeds of something speshul once Mutt Lange got his hands on the boys and refined their sound. High n Dry is in my minivan's CD changer; still one of the best aggressive driving albums evar made. Pyromania came out when I was a freshman in high school; Photograph and Rock of Ages made me fall in luv with them, and even now I can pop in the CD and sing along to every fucking song on the album. Hysteria was pop shit, but when you're 17 and your nympho GF thinks Pour Some Sugar On Me is good music to act out stripper fantasies to, well, you don't mind it that much. Saw Def Lep in Andover MD on Election Night 1992; Joe Eliot came out for their encore and said "Word is, there's a new sheriff in town.." which is how I found out that Clinton had won.
