I read through all of the pages on this post, and couldn't believe it took until page 30 or so for the High N Dry album to be mentioned. It is THE BEST driving guitar album of all time, and it's not even close. I've seen Def Leppard over 10 times, the first in Vancouver B.C. in the early 1980s and ...

Excellent point. And stupid people don't automatically fall into the 'whackadoodle' category. There ...
