Well of course these days they're not as popular as they were in 1987 but they are still regarded as one of the few 80s rock bands (along with Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and Guns N Roses) who have 'outlasted' that era. Although for the life of me I can't understand the hate against 80s music.

One thing about Def Leppard: they don't seem to be fully supported by the record company. I'll be the first to say that X sucked balls, but I have to say that the album didn't get the push it desparately needed.
