Favorite Def Leppard album

Which one is your favorite Def Leppard album?

My favorite is the Pyromania album from 1983. With exception of "Action, Not Words", the whole album is listenable. My favorites on that album are "Rock of Ages", "Photograph", "Too Late for Love", and "Billy's Got a Gun".

BTW, this is Pete Willis' last album with the band as he was fired for alcholism during the band's performance in 1982.

Hysteria. That album's a classic.

Which is ironic because another one their guitarists drank himself to death ten years later while still in the band.

The band's other gutiarist was Steve Clark. He died of alcholism in 1991 when they were about to make the Adrelinize album that same year.

Pyromania was the first record I ever bought. High'n'Dry was the second, and it's still my favorite of theirs. Although I've been playing On Through the Night again lately and that one's not bad either.
All the stuff after Pyromania was too poppy for me, although they earned enough credit from me with those first three albums that nowadays they can do whatever they like and I'm not going to talk s**t on em.

Hysteria (1987) - the deepest impression. But "Rock of Ages" was my favourite song for a long time.
