A classic Def Leppard sounding song, a favorite at their concerts, #1 on the Rock chart never quite made the Billboard100 and stuck at #33 on the pop chart.
Given the magnitude of their earlier hits why didn't this chart higher? Out of touch? Was the sound just outdated when this was out?

This song was really underrated IMO. It was a great track all around, but I have a feeling the name "Def Leppard" made some pop MDs cringe and not want to add the track. It should have charted higher IMO.

I agree with JCMF3, this sounds more to me like The Outfield than Leppard (not a bad thing IMHO.)
I also liked "Work It Out" from Slang but that was another bust.

This and "Work it Out" are my favorites. More recently "Now" was decent as well.

Cool! Thanks for sharing, I had actually never seen that before. Did they air the video much when this hit? I heard it on the radio some, but never saw the video. |

This song was really good, and sounded like something off of Adrenalize or Hysteria.
I also was surprised that "Goodbye" wasn't a big hit from that album. Very good power ballad. Also probably had to do with the Leppard name.
As for Slang, that album just didn't do it for me.

I really liked this when it was out... but I like it even more now. I realized this is the kind of Def Leppard song I enjoy... it's got their classic sound to it  |
