Def Leppard: A Patchy Tribute

In honor of the band, which will be playing at the state fair tonight, we've rounded up some of their raddest hits for your listening and viewing pleasure. Also included: Prices and times.

You remember Def Leppard: The flash. The bombast. The big hair. Since the band formed in 1977, they have sold 65 million albums, in spite of drummer Rick Allen losing his arm after a devastating car crash in 1984. Tonight, they will take the stage at the Minnesota State Fair. Here are some links to videos of their smash hits.

"Photograph:" See above. The British band's 1983 ode to Marilyn Monroe.

"Pour Some Sugar On Me:" A B-side that became a surprise hit. Still played at college orientation mixers every where.
