Def Leppard ‘Wrapped’ – 2022 Edition

At the end of each year, Spotify will send its users its annual 'Wrapped' report, collecting data from the user's listening habits over the prior year to see what and who was played the most. Mine is never very accurate, as I don't use Spotify as my primary (or even secondary) method of listening to …

Ranked: Def Leppard Studio Albums

The most recent edition of album rankings, focused on The Darkness, was written to coincide with the release of their second live album Streaming Of A White Christmas. That didn't work out since the album was delayed without warning, so instead I posted the entry to coincide with the announcement of their most recent studio album, Motorheart. …

Ranked: Album Of The Year Winners – 2019 Edition

Determining my favorite album of 2018 was so challenging that it took me nearly an entire extra month to finally decide on a winner. In fact it was so difficult that I'll now be putting together a list of criteria that I'll use for each year moving forward. At least until I no longer like …
