Def Leppard used to be a pretty decent hard rock band. Their roots were entrenched knee-deep in the glam-rock movement of the ‘70s, but it took Pyromania and Hysteria to show that you could actually mix melodies in them thar rock songs.

Ten Great Big Cat Bands: A Reclaiming Tigers From The Woods List

in
By Barry Taylor (CHARTattack) April 12, 2010 11:29 am
Tiger Woods. There wasn't a newspaper or radio or television that wasn't covering Woods' return to golf this weekend. It was straight up zany, and it's also starting to give real tigers a bad name.
