Biography: Def Leppard

Friday August 25, 2006
It's no accident that so many of Def Leppard's song titles contain the word "rock." As part of the vanguard of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, they helped define the term.

With a new album this year (and another one expected in 2007) and a major tour in full swing, it's hard to imagine that it has been almost 30 years since a group of fresh faced teenagers formed what would become one of rock's most influential bands.
