Description: This 2004 Def Leppard collection from Mercury features nearly the same playlist as Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits. A decent mix of radio hits ("Photograph," "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Bringin' on the Heartbreak") and fan favorites ("Let's Get Rocked," "Armageddon It"), Best Of may pale in comparison to 2005's two-disc Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection, but it serves as a nice anthology for longtime fans and an excellent audio lecture on pop-metal history for the newly converted.
