Def Leppard still rocking
The music of the 1970s may be in vogue again, but it takes a brave man to admit he still enjoys listening to '80s rock.
While the 1980s' plethora of one-hit wonders enjoy a certain measure of nostalgic adoration, bands that actually flourished during the "Me Decade" find themselves in a much tougher spot these days.
Branded as too plastic or simply untalented by most critics, such groups have become the butt of many a joke.
On Sunday night, however, more than 6,700 fans filed into the Mandalay Bay Events Center to proclaim their enduring love for Def Leppard, the hard rocking Brits who dominated the FM airwaves during the 1980s.
