I was gonna post a response to BeExcellent's post, but I doubt it'd beat that one a lot of people just appreciate a good hook and a song they can relate to, and sing along to. Nothing wrong with that

Yep. Which just goes to show you how little effort you need to make to find better music than Def Leppard!

Surrender is catchy, but it sure ain't simple.

Def Leppard are dubbed as the Ultimate Feel-Good Rock Band.

What's wrong with just being a raise-your-hands feel-good rock band? If every rock band was like Bon Jovi it'd be one helluva boring genre.

Yeah, These Days gets me real pumped up for a night out. Diamond Ring just brings out the wildness in me.

Hmmmm....

Rather than give my usual lecture on this topic....I'll just ask....

You DO know Def Leppard has a pretty hefty slab of come-backs for the songs you named? You don't even have to look at the obscure to find them, if that helps give you a hint at where you can find some.
