035 Def Leppard - Hysteria (1987)
Listen now
Description
Def Leppard's fourth album Hysteria is a hit machine - one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Released in 1987 and armed with seven hit songs, 'Thriller with a Mullet' was the biggest adversary to the emerging Hair Hunx dynasty at the time and continues to soundtrack our lives and pad cover band setlists to this day.

Seems like by 1970 Steppenwolf were already becoming a two-hit relic of the cultural past. Nonsense. Steppenwolf 7, which is technically their fifth album, is a furious nine-track assault that sounds like cocaine psychosis set to boogie rock. Love it.

A neck-to-nuts banger of a synth album found in a genre mostly celebrated via individual songs and videos rather than LPs. Upstairs at Eric's contains by my count three 'oh yeah I know that song' songs that are probably recognizable to the greater American public.
