Def Leppard – Pyromania (1983): Building on the success of early British heavy metal bands like Deep Purple, and personifying the slick hard-rock sound that MTV was aiming for in its early years, Pyromania was the third album for another British heavy metal group, Def Leppard and was a massive hit, selling over 10 million albums in the U.S. alone. The album was loaded with MTV video hits like “Foolin’ ”, “Photograph”, “Rock of Ages”, and “Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)”; and the other songs are just as enjoyable.
