Friday Night Videos

Def Leppard was huge during my high school years and I listened to their stuff just like all my classmates, buying their CDs and whatnot. For some reason, the band hasn't aged well for me. There's a sameness to their music so that it almost becomes a parody of itself. I always did like "Hysteria" though, moreso than most others I'd say. A lot of their songs get heavy airplay on 80s stations, but this one gets overlooked. Probably because it's understated. That's probably what I like about it.

Friday Night Videos

Since The Wife is off at ImagingUSA this weekend, I'm almost duty-bound to go with Def Leppard's "Photograph" as today's featured video. And what a video it is! That hair! Those clothes! Prancing and posturing! Women in cages! Nonsensical narrative thread! Fake video snapshots! Seriously folks, this is pretty much the quintessential '80s hair band video. Enjoy!
