Today marks the 25th Anniversary of the release of HYSTERIA!  Comment with your favorite song/story/memory from HYSTERIA and play the album today LOUD!

Check out a special message from Phil Collen below.

From a recent cleveland.com article: "In August 1987, Def Leppard released "Hysteria," one of the greatest make-out albums of all time. Nine months later, in May 1988, 326,000 babies were born in the United States -- the start of a baby boomlet that stretched into the summer. Coincidence? We think not."  Read the article HERE
