I was just thinking about that now and the other day. The video is even worse.
What was the first music album you bought?

No regret to be had.
My first 4-track tape was April Wine (The Nature for the Beast). I listened to Sign of the Gypsy Queen over and over until the tape got caught in the wheels during a rewind !

Someone pointed out to me what time signature this song is in, its weird. Its been years so Ive forgotten what it is, but next time you listen to it theres a studder in it, it skips a beat. It is a really good song, and there probably isnt a better one to open the record.

In all seriousness, what I remember about Hysteria is two things now:
1. I don't know if it's my memory tricking me, but I feel like every ... single ... song ... on that album charted. Every one. And IIRC, the one that they released first was Women, which was ... not the strongest single.
2. Pour some sugar on me has had a certain reputation since then for being played in disreputable establishments.
But I really remember their second album (technically, their third I think, but the second I knew) which was Pyromania. Because when that was released, we had Pyromania and Seven and the Ragged Tiger (Duran Duran) playing constantly while playing D&D. SO I forever associate the year 1983, and first playing all those "golden age" modules, with Photograph and New Moon on Monday.

Ecclectic is good. I have a Micheal Bolton album. :-DSmokey Robinson and the Miracles Anthology and Madonna's Like a Virgin from a second hand record shop in 1984. I was 12 and my tastes eclectic, though at one point I had every Miracles album on tape (until the collection was stolen)
(Sucks that people steal other people's stuff.)

Unless their something Im missing, some hidden meaning please enlighten me. But when you write the lyrics, "Do You Take Sugar? One Lump or Two" I don't see how they can be taken seriously any longer. Def Leppard were weird because they werent quite hair metal and not quite heavy metal, I wouldnt call them hard rock either, their early stuff sure but by Hysteria IDK what they were. Id guess the producer, Mutt Lange iirc, probably had a big hand in shaping that album.
