Def Leppard - Hysteria

Released on August 3rd, 1987, Hysteria is the definitive masterpiece of Def Leppard’s career and one of the most successful rock albums of all time. Selling over 25 million copies worldwide and peaking at #1 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart, it stands as the ultimate follow-up to their 1983 breakthrough, Pyromania.

Produced by the legendary Robert John "Mutt" Lange, the album is a technical marvel of 80s production, yielding an unprecedented seven hit singles, including "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Love Bites," and "Armageddon It." The title, conceived by drummer Rick Allen, reflects the intense media coverage following his 1984 accident. This album also marks a poignant chapter in the band's history as the final studio work to feature guitarist Steve Clark.
