I've been a Bon Jovi fan since i was really young to this present day!Have all there studio albums apart from Bounce.

Recently borrowed the best of - Def Leppard.And was really impressed that i liked the majority of the songs.

.But Jovi survived the 90s and made big impacts in the 00s
.Jovi have sold a lot more,have a bigger fan base

Who's better?

    Def Leppard's first 4 albums, especially High N Dry were awesome. No question from me who is better. A lot of people may not have been around for the huge Def Leppard days because they are too young, so Bon Jovi may be something they know better.

    Since this is the exact same topic you posted over at RateYourMusic, I'll use the same response:

    'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and anything on 'Hysteria' beats anything by Bon Jovi. When I was a kid Def Leppard were my favourite band right before Pearl Jam. When I bought Ten my Def Leppard albums went out the window.

    Bon Jovi are pretty bad but have some catchy songs. Def Leppard are easily the worst band to have ever graced this earth. their music is so steeped in shit I can't get my head around it. When love and hate collide is putrid and lets get rocked it so bad it make me vomit a little bit in my mouth.

    so bon jovi :D even though they are pretty poor too.

    I can't stand Bon Jovi. One of the worst popular bands out there by far, and there are a lot of them in my opinion.

    Def Leppard does blow as mentioned above, but I did totally dig High and Dry when I was a kids in the 80's.

    That's the same for me. I did own all Def Leppard albums upto Adrenalize and all Bon Jovi albums upto 'Keep the Faith' (then I discover an album called 'ten' and my music taste completely changed!) The Leppard were by far the better band, I could probably still enjoy Hysteria and Pyromania.

    Def Leppard based on their 1st 3 records.

    Hysteria is the quintessential 80s hair metal album. Seven singles off of that record, and six of them went Top 10.

    Pyromania isn't too far behind either.

    A lot of the success has to be attributed to their producer Matt Lange. IMO, Pyromania and Hysteria are by far the best produced albums in the genre of hair metal.

    Def Leppard by a wide margin.

    I still know Pyromania and Hysteria note for note, and even a weaker album like High n Dry has more balls than the best of Bon Jovi.

    In fact, the only Bon Jovi album that's worth anything is Slippery When Wet.

    However, both bands suck massive llama ass these days.

    Def Leppard doesn't bother me nearly as much as Bon Jovi does. I have great memories of the "Hysteria" album and "Slippery When Wet" made me want to puke.

    if you want sappy love songs then Bon Jovi (good songs just sappy- though Dead or Alive is great)

    Def Leppard is more Heavy Metal, granted once the drummer lost his arm they got a little softer.

    There are few albums better than Pyromania and Hysteria

    Pyromania is worth getting on my top ten of all time

    Nod nod. One of my favourite artists as a kid was Bryan Adams; it was when I heard that Lange also worked with Leppard that I started to listen to them as well. Good times! When PJ and grunge arrived, those guys went out the window, but I've still got fond memories of both - especially Bryan Adams.

    Even now, I think any artist would be hard pressed to come up with a better song than 'Can't Stop This Thing We Started', 'Summer of 69', 'Heaven' or 'Everything I do'. :eek: Bring on the flames....
