oh and Hysteria did stand the test of time.
and your point does not make sense when comparing Def Leppard to Jovi, a 50 year old guy singing WGIGO and This Is Our House? Yeah okay mate...

Excluding the hardcore fans, no one knows WGIGO and TIOH. Lets Get Rocked was the lead single of a long-waited album at their peak.
At the time Let's Get Rocked was released, Bon Jovi was writing quality songs like Dry County. If Bon Jovi had followed the Leppard formula, they wouldn't be selling out arenas today. People took BJ seriously.
Def Leppard didn't transcend the
hairband era. Today, kids pick Appetite, Back in Black, Slippery.. but Hysteria is ignored.
