Slide 2 of 22
Def Leppard, Hysteria

This is another rock album that suffers from compression woes, but from a technical behind-the-scenes perspective it’s one of the most well-crafted rock albums ever produced.

Filled with famous songs, the album’s track list reads like a greatest hits album with songs like “Women,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Love Bites” and the title track, “Hysteria,” which has seen a resurgence in popularity due to Taylor Swift’s performance of the song. Anyone in their 20s through 40s is sure to recognize any of these songs and the energy and performance the brand brought to the making of this album.

Signature Test Track: “Pour Some Sugar on Me” Listeners using this song should pay attention to its beginning when Joe Elliot’s mumbled phrases are bounced back and forth from the left and right channels, and the backward drum effect that’s in between the second and third verses.
