Def Leppard burst onto the scene in 1980 as part of the new wave of British heavy metal. The first album “On through the night” did pretty well in the UK, but was not popular in other countries, but then on the second album from 1981 ”High in dry” they started to define their sound and this was also helped by their producer Mutt Lange, a very popular producer who also produced some of AC/DC's best albums, such as Back in Black and Highway to Hell. He also produced the album that brought them to the mainstream was called Pyromania, which is the subject matter of this video released on January 20th 1983 and now celebrating its 40th anniversary. This new sound brought them into the mainstream. It was also good timing because MTV was still in its infancy and they were able to have some of their music videos played on the channel during the daytime, so that also helped catapult them into superstardom. This is one of the best albums in my opinion for me. I always go back and forth between this one and Hysteria from 1988 but this album is solid from front to back. It had some hit singles and a really great sound so let's talk about it.
