I think Photograph is probably their best song, but I've always been partial to Action! Not Words. Ah, 1983, 8th grade, you could not escape Pyromania here in the United States, it was everywhere, radio, MTV, and on my cassette boombox. Def Leppard patches were sewn on to jean jackets all across this great land. I think I'll always associate it with playing Jumpman on the good ole C-64. Gunter Gliben Glauten Globen!

I love Pyromania.

Foolin is my pick, but Photograph is pop gold.

Pyromania is one of the first albums I bought with my own paper route money. Still have the vinyl somewhere. One of the few albums of that era that I re-bought on CD years later. Foolin, Photograph, or Rock of Ages would be great picks, but I will go Bringin on the Heartbreak from High 'n Dry. The video is fantastic too

Question: is Rick Allen the only metal drummer to have employed traditional grip (prior to losing the arm)?

Honorable mention to Bringin' on the Heartbreak and Love Bites.

My favorite is Rocket. It's such a straight up dumb rock song but that's what makes it fun.

Def Lep are pretty solid. I'll pick "Armageddon It" since it hasn't been picked yet, but in truth I think I do prefer "Bringin' on the Heartbreak".
