Def Leppard

Def Leppard is an English band founded in Sheffield in 1977. They played a fair part in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and they were probably the only band from the NWOBHM to adopt a Hair Metal sound later in their career.
A lot of Metal elitists like to say Def-Lep aren't metal, but just listen to their first four records (yes, that includes the EP) and just try and say that shit ain't metal. And for all those fuckers who think Grunge killed Hair Metal, the fact of the matter is that Nirvana were once knocked off the top of the charts by Def-Lep.
Although Def-Lep are considered a Metal band (except by metal elitists), Joe Elliot (the singer) doesn't like them being called Metal, and they don't like being considered a part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, although again, listen to their early stuff and just try and say that shit isn't Metal.
