10 Best Hard Rock Albums Of The 80s
2. Pyromania - Def Leppard
Def Leppard were the perfect band for the 80's hard rock genre. Starting in their teens, the members of the band were always great at coming up with some of the best hard rock music that England had to offer. But that wasn't the only string to their bow though.
After two albums of hard rock glory, the band entered the studio with the intention of combining their rock foundation with the melodies of 70's pop that they had loved from their youth. What resulted was one of the greatest rock releases of the 80's, whose hits are still heard across the airwaves to this day. From the confident screams to the screaming solo work, Pyromania is a record that was brought to near-perfection with the band's Queen-like attention to detail.
When you listen to bands of the 80's today, many of them tend to sound dated because of their fashion sense or their mediocre song structures. The only type of rock music that passes through time is that which is made by genuine people with a certain passion for what they do. By not letting go of their initial passion, Def Leppard had transformed themselves from naive kids to true warriors of the rock genre.
