Lucas Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Def Leppard...Candy ass bubble gum garbage. I have to agree here. I love bands like Foreigner, Toto, Bon Jovi and even Ratt but I find Def Leppard incredibly boring and in all honesty, I think they are one of the worst commercially successful bands of all time.I like their first two albums, when they rocked, and were there alongside Maiden and Saxon at the forefront of the NWOBHM in the early 80's.After that...not so much Each to their own...but Saxon and especially Maiden are in a different league altogether...Well, I did just say that I only liked the first two albums, whereas with Saxon and Maiden, I love pretty much everything they've done ;) so, I agree with you Oh I know I was referring to the quality of those first two albums against early Saxon and Maiden haha! Really am not a fan...even though they are not far off other bands I like. Saxon was never very good - an average band that came in at a exciting time ... In other words, they rode the coattails of a lot of bands, early Def Leppard being one .. That said, after the first few albums, Def Lep became something very unfortunate I've always thought that about Saxon too. Never understood the praise that they got from some when they're pretty much Judas Priest with half the talent. Whenever i've heard a Saxon song I always think that Priest did this much much better. Yeah, I've wanted to like them, and I will still listen to the albums, but really just when I'm really in the mood for that era of metal ... I saw 'em in 1980 when they opened for Rush, so I have the nostalgic urge to get into them, but it just never clicked .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tick Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Def Leppard...Candy ass bubble gum garbage. Their first three albums are excellent. Especially High and Dry and Pyromania.I don't need to be convicted I don't like them do I? High and dry is ok. Pyromania is ok, but way too bubble gum. I like some of it at the time. I just think for a band who tours like they are sone legendary act and has a ton of fans, they suck. That's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Saxon was never very good - an average band that came in at a exciting time ... In other words, they rode the coattails of a lot of bands, early Def Leppard being one ..Saxon were the first of the three bands to release their debut album, though, by quite a margin...so they started out coattail-free, then were later overtaken along the way. Saxon - Saxon - May 1979Def Leppard - On Through the Night - March 1980Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden - April 1980 Maiden clearly trumps both bands for me, anyway, but I still love me some Saxon. Especially Strong Arm of the Law, which I love from start to finish.(plus, Saxon are all Yorkshire lads, like meself ;) ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I put on Saxon or Tygers Of Pan Tang, I always think "Ok, this is gonna be it", but it never happens .. Those two bands just never did it for me, and I love that era 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure a couple here might be like "YOU HAD TO BE THERE THEY ONLY RELEASED GREAT MUSIC YOU ARE WRONG AND MISGUIDED!" Shush. They sucked. And so did Lou Reed. Only album of his I can finish is Lulu. Take that as you wish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sweet Jane is a fantastic song...especially the cover by Cowboy Junkies. But yeah...their musical catalog is more of a captured vibe than a collection of great songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
