Def Leppard's Hysteria turns 39 years old, and we're celebrating one of the most influential albums in rock history. We discuss how we first discovered the album, what it meant to us growing up, how it helped shape the hair metal era, and whether it still holds up nearly four decades later. Is Hysteria the album that defined the '80s? Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts in the comments!

🤘 What is your favorite song from Hysteria? Do you think it still deserves its legendary status?
