Agreed. Not a fan of Def Leppard. Hysteria was slick, pop metal. That band does nothing for me. I was upset when Vivian Campbell joined the band.

Have you heard Dio's rant about Vivian? Outside of wishing he was dead (hey, Ronnie said it, not me), he kinda mocked Vivian for joining Leppard.

It was part of a YouTube video someone shot outside Radio City Music Hall last year while Ronnie was signing autographs after a Heaven and Hell show. Ronnie was pretty vicious concerning Vivian, to say the least.

Definitely don't agree that everything from the 80's was overrated, not that there wasn't a fair amount of shit, but that can be said of any decade.

I remember Pyromania was one of the first cassettes I ever bought. and I played it to death. There is still some stuff on it I like today. But man, I remember waiting the 5 years (which when you are 12 is an eternity) for the new album to come out(Hysteria), and was like"what is this shit". I don't know, maybe it was just because my taste matured as I waited, and by the time Hysteria came out, I had discovered the likes of Hendrix. That may have had something to do with it.

There was very little music out of the 80's (in comparison to the 70's) that I liked. There was some that was very good. MTV actually was music TV then. There was quite a bit of crap on it, but there were some good videos also.

There were a couple of overplayed/overrated albums in the area where I lived anyway

Prince - Purple Rain
Twisted Sister - We're not gonna take it

Asia - Self titled.

The most hyped and worst album in history. Horrible...
