So...I've been listening to perhaps my favorite Def Leppard album lately "High n Dry", back when Steve Clark and Pete Willis were on guitars. I believe this might have been the first song of theirs I heard on the radio back when I was a youngin.

When it comes to Hair/Glam metal my dad was all over it.  So I love the bands between slash metal and the grunge movement. Although some grunge was pretty good. Like Alice in chains and sound garden. That's about it. 

Anyway

Not that it's 'under-rated' per se, but I think Hysteria is one of the best songs written in the 80s and I'm not a huge hair metal guy. If you think about it, the melody of the pre-chorus and chorus is so perfect, it could be reworked in so many ways. It could be a country hit, an R&B hit, etc.  

To my ears it has that special something that songs like 'Harvest Moon', 'When the Stars Go Blue', 'Nothing Compares to You', etc. have. 

*Not sure that made sense, but that happens when I think out loud about music.

I don't consider Def Leppard/Van Halen etc hair metal since they originated in the 70s and were established long before that scene. I know...they did somewhat grow their hair long, but when I think of hair bands/metal I think of the bands that came in mid/late 80s like Poison, Warrant, Slaughter, Cinderella, Winger etc. although I must admit, I enjoyed some of these bands too.

Hysteria was a great song, but I really like the rawer Def Leppard of High n Dry album and Pyromania even though that was a little more polished due to Mutt. My favorite Leppard song is "Wasted" from On through the Night album.

Loved “High n Dry” and “Pyromania” - both were great! I pretty much checked out after that though.

Below are my favorite tracks released in 2021. If anybody else is a big enough nerd to do an annual year end list, please share. 

I have heard of Billy Idol, and remember the original version of Eyes Without a Face.

I not only don't know any of those other songs, I have never heard of any of those other artists.

You guys just need to get a little more hip instead worrying about breaking a hip. 😎

A lot of good music is out there these days.

Okay, I've heard of Kid Rock, and like some of his music.  But, beyond him, I recognize nothing on your list either.  I did date a stripper one time whose stage name was Dirty Honey though.
