  A great compilation from Sheffield's finest!!

I love Def Leppard.....one of the best bands to come out of the UK rock scene. They have stood the test of time releasing hit after hit, and this album is a testament to that!! Taking 15 hits from over 10 years in the business - the plethora of which come from their two biggest albums - Pyromania and the superb must have Hysteria!
Def Leppard are an interesting band....part rock, part metal with a catchiness that could even be deemed to have a slight pop edge; either way, they have a certain degree of commercialization about them that makes you want to listen again and again!! The lyrics they employ tend to be cheesy at best though they have some tracks that take it a bit deeper and more personal to reflect different aspects of the bands history including losing a bandmates a drug addiction - but all their songs simply rock!!
On this album it is hard to know what to single out...so lets start at the beginning with Pour Some Sugar on Me - heavily played on many a radio station even today and amongst mnay other credits - the anthem of strippers everywhere - this song is fantastic!! Taken from the multiplatinum Hysteria, its lyrics are sexist, cheap but boy do they work!! It rocks!! Photograph follows, and though never a favorite of mine, it certainly deserves a place on this compilation. Love Bites - a rock ballad is another great track as are the other Hysteria entries on this album - Rocket and Animal! Lets get Rocked is silly and cheesy....but I do like it - from Adrenalize and Rock of Ages is another stellar offering !! There is a good combination of catchy rock and ballads such as Have you Ever Needed someone so Bad!!
This is a great album...I may have these tracks and others on their albums...but it is so great to have them all here in one place to remind us what a great and they are!!

It was the exact CD, with the exact songs I was looking for. The price was very reasonable. The shipping was reasonable as well. There was no visble damage to case or to the CD. The owner did a great job of taking care of the item.

Great collection of good rock n' roll. You'll like 'em all! Some you may not remember well, but most are from the Top 10 charts and will bring back memories as you tap your foot and slap your steering wheel. Guitar hero, watch out!

I could think of a couple of other songs that deserve to be on there and couple to be taken off. But all in all it was still not a bad Greatest Hits. #13 shouldn't be there, but I understand it was a title. I think they could have put a killer one together, but they went with the hits. 4 stars.

What can I say... Greatest hits cd's are the best value going. Some of the most over played songs on the radio from this era. Nice to go back in time when BANDS HAD TO PLAY GOOD OR BETTER THAN THEY LOOK. Timeless music. 8 out of a 10

I'm just so sad...that I wasn't born earlier than 1986! I would die to go a concert with these guys! The songs compiled on this album is great.There are some rocking ones and really sweet ballads too. Usually Greatest Hits are just average album,but this one rocks!

One of the best big hair bands of the 80's and 90's. Simply put, "Great CD"! The price was also good for a greatest hits CD. No defects what so ever.

  Def Leppard...Vault: Greatest Hits 1980-1995
Review created: 05/24/07

Greetings...my name is Floyd Turtle. I'm confined to a wheelchair. I first met Def Leppard, in 1980, when they were on their FIRST World Tour of the HIGH AND DRY album. I couldn't get backstage in San Francisco...so I started talking to roadies who were outside, loading up the groups' equipment. One of them told me that the fellow in the silver jacket (at the top of some steps) was their manager. With pen and cassette inserts in hand, I called to him and he came down the concert steps and I asked him if I could get their autographs. He said, "wait here" and he came back in about 15 minutes, with the inserts signed by all of the band members...Joe Elliott, Richard Allen, Peter Willis and Rick Savage. I then asked the manager if I could meet them. He replied that they were busy, getting ready to board their bus to go to another venue in the San Francisco Bay Area. I asked him which (of the many) busses they would be getting on...and he pointed to a bus and gave me permission to wait by it. As soon as they rushed toward the bus, I held out my hand and shook hands with each of them. I asked Joe Elliott where they were headed next, and he said, Santa Cruz. I asked him if I could come to the concert and he said "sure" and told a girl to put my name on the guest list, plus 2...meaning a total of 3 backstage passes. The next night, I banged on the
backstage door and was let inside with two girls who came with me.
They rocked my world and after the concert, while backstage, a girl approached me with a shopping bag full of squirt guns...and asked me if I wanted one. I declined, but all of the band members took one or two guns and had a great squirt gun fight. You must remember, that back in 1980, they were playful teenagers and that was their way of cooling off, after 90 minutes of rocking hard.
Richard Allen came out to my van...but that was short-lived as some fans saw him
in my van, and he decided to go back in the concert, before he got mobbed. He did have a chance to give me his 'phone number and address in Drunfeld, England.
I called Richard Allen, in Drunfeld, 26 DEC 1984 and he told me that they were working on the Hysteria album and that he was "really tired". Six days later, we got the news that he rolled his 1984 Corvette and lost his left arm. The world was devistated. I had sent Richard a Christmas card and he got it the day
he went home from the hospital. He read it and thought about me and said to himself that 'Floyd is in a wheelchair, yet it doesn't stop him from doing what he wants'...so he decided, then-and-there that he wasn't going to give up and h a custom-made set of drums (kit) built. As we all know...Def Leppard is still rocking the world, 22 years later.
Their music is legendary. I've met AC/DC, The Pretenders, Ronnie James Dio, Ratt, Krokus, Blue Oyster Cult, Lita Ford, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, Annie Lennox, Mahogany Rush, Pat Benatar, The Everly Brothers and countless other groups...but Def Leppard is my favorite. If I ever wrote a book about all the great groups that I've met, you can bet that the best chapter would be about these wonderful guys. They are the most down-to-earth rockers on the planet. Vault is the-best-of-their-best. Buy it...you'll love each and every song. You
can't just listen to it once. Most of their songs tend to "hit home" with each and every one of us. The song "Photograph" was written about Marilyn Monroe. I'm sure you'll enjoy this CD immensely.

This is my FAVORITE CD that was ever made! I listened to it in High School and it never left my Cd player. A few years back my car was stolen and Def Leppard went along with it. I never was able to find it again until I checked on eBay. I recommend this Cd to anyone that loves classic rock!

  Hot, Sticky Sweet Rock Courtesy Of Def Leppard
Review created: 09/22/03
by: lambchops-- a member of Epinions and Lead in Music

Pros:
Well-produced rock represented the cream of the 1980's crop...

Cons:
Strange sequencing and bad "new" song...

British rockers are damn sexy, especially when they happen to wear tight jeans use inordinate amounts of Aqua Net and jump around a massive stage. Maybe that was my draw to Def Leppard back in the day. Actually in all fairness I was more a Bon Jovi girl than a Def Leppard girl but that never stopped me from enjoying just about every song the UK outfit released in the 1980 s. I wish I remembered who said it, but in an interview for a VH1 special a fellow rocker was quoted as saying that Def Leppard s music was as perfectly seamless as any of the era. And I do have to agree with that statement..

  Diggin' In The Vault: The Best of Def Leppard
Review created: 08/06/02
by: Monnie1976-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music

Pros:
All their big classic hits

Cons:
Some songs that really weren't that great

Did you ever jump around in your room doing air guitar to the infectious Pour Some Sugar On Me ? Did you ever have your heart broken and shed your tears of pain on your bed listening to Love Bites ? Did you love the blatant rebellion of Let s Get Rocked ? If you answered yes to these questions then you are going to love digging into The Vault, a compilation of all of Def Leppard s hits. When I picked up this album I honestly had forgotten how much fun I have had over the years listening to their music. Some of the older stuff is actually more in my sister s era but that music is good as well..

Pros:
Absolutely amazing rock from the kings of the 80's.

Cons:
Usually lumped in with other 80's hair metal bands.

Ladies and gentlemen the best of Def Leppard. I know what you re asking. Drew? You re reviewing a Def Leppard CD? Def Leppard? Yes, it s me, fan of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. I m coming out of the closet to say--I LOVE this band! I love the band, love the hits CD. Def Leppard was 80 s cheese metal at it s best. While Poison and Motley Crue--two groups who I, for the record, loathe--were dressing up as chicks and doing heroin, Def Leppard was making some really great stuff. It s cheesy, and the lyrics are corny, and they even say stuff like let s get let s get let s get let s get rocked, but...

  It's All Here In The "Vault"!
Review created: 06/08/02
by: Pandemonium -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Great beats, voices, rhythms, words, all around real music!

Cons:
Nothing!

My other favorite group to ever come out. I can picture myself someday at seventy years old still rocking out to this band. And of course still being romantic with my significant other with Def Leppard's more slow romantic songs. Def Leppard is just one of the groups that can do it all. They have songs perfect for parties to keep it live, songs you just play in the car on long drives relaxing, and romantic melodies to play with your other by candle light. Almost every record they brought out you can just hit play on song one and never touch the seek button as each song is worth listening to...

Review created: 12/02/02
by: jeff_wilder78 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Superb nearly definitive collection of Def Leppard.

Cons:
The new track needs to go.

The 1980s are a time that many rock fans would prefer to forget. A lot of limp and weak hair metal pervaded the time and much of that is forgettable. However, some genuinely good rock music did emerge from that era. One of those bands that managed to produce some good rock music is the hard rock quintet from Sheffield Great Britain known as Def Leppard. Def Leppard always stood out from the pack in that their music was generally more involving than many of their contemporaries. Many of the hair bands such as Winger produced party music that sounded fun while it was on the stereo, yet was so...
