While many of their peers were abandoning ’70s metal and arena rock to hop the punk/new wave bandwagon, Def Leppard smartly stripped the earlier era’s music of its excesses, bolstered it with energetic, pop-savvy hooks and quickly found itself the vanguard of the UK’s new metal revival and one of the ’80s most spectacularly successful rock acts. The first disc of this 35-track, two-and-a-half hour double-disc retrospective focuses on the familiar hits of their early MTV, pla… More >>

    Any band that puts out more than one “best of” or “greatest hits” or “definitive collection” or “ultimate collection” including imports and doesn’t include everything on at least one of those releases gets 1 STAR. Period. Def Lep have several hits collections both in the US and abroad. Here comes yet ANOTHER one that is incomplete. Where is “Make Love Like A Man”? Where is “Tonight”? Why add in crap songs that no one knows or cares about from their last cd’s that flopped or add in some rare album track that was NOT a hit 25 years ago? Why do an acoustic version of a song instead of an original? Or a live version? Definitive my ass. Piss on these record companies and bands that can’t deliver a complete hits collection! This is a PERFECT example of why I will download music for free. I can make my own Def Leppard Definitive Collection since the band and their labels REFUSE to.

    I liked a few Def Leppard cuts but I was never all that much into them.they were a Huge arena Rock act back in the day without really leaving much timeless music.but some of the cuts here are good to listen to in reflecting upon another musical time period.but this covers all you will ever need from this Band.

    Where are all the good songs from the first album? There are even great songs from Pyromania missing. Buy Lep’s first 4 albums instead. Yes it costs a bit, but you get every great song.

    if you really want the best of def leppard, buy “pyromania” and “hysteria” instead of this. they really were at their peak with these two albums and while they had a couple other radio hits before and after i don’t feel those other albums are worth buying. if you need a collection for the car or whatever i would go with “vault” the first greatest hits collection as this contains all the radio hits on one disc.
