- My advice to you, although you yourself state that you don't listen to
- the radio, is that the next time you hear a Def Leppard track, listen to
- the drums. Their rhythm programming and production is better than a lot
- of dance music I can think of.
-
- Don't flame me for being a Def Leppard fan; I'm not. I've just found something
- to keep me from tearing out my hair when I'm forced to hear their dreck that
- may serve the alt.rave community as well.
