Description: 0 0 Amazon.co.uk Probably Def Leppard's best album and certainly their most successful, Hysteria pretty much sums up 1980s hard rock: catchy, tuneful and fun.

The rest of the album is equally entertaining; "Animal" and "Hysteria", while mid-tempo, have the same slick intensity, and "Love Bites" is one of the few pop-metal ballads that doesn't sound saccharine over a decade after its release ...

Top 11 Metal Albums of the 1980s (11 music items)

"The latter half of '80s was defined by pop metal, and Def Leppard's 'Hysteria' was the most successful album of that sub-set. The production is flawless (thanks, Mutt Lange!) and the band was more interested in hooks than hairspray. With 'Love Bites' and 'Animal' veering more towards the pop side than anything on 1983's much rawer 'Pyromania,' Def Leppard established a pop metal stronghold with this mega seller."
