50 Years, 50 Albums 1983: Def Leppard ‘Pyromania’
Formed in Sheffield, England in 1977, Def Leppard became a part of the new wave of British heavy metal in the early ’80s. The third studio album Pyromania is the second to be produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange after the success of the previous album, High n Dry, moving the bands roots to a more radio friendly sound with songs like “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak”. Pyromania, released in January of 1983, was the first album to feature guitarist Phil Collen who replaced Pete Willis, although both appear on the album. The lead single “Photograph” not only got a ton of radio airplay but heavy rotation on MTV and had four more singles from that album. The album sold over 12 million copies in the U.S. and 20 million worldwide making it No. 384 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Four years later they would double those numbers with Hysteria. At this time, we would like to induct Def Leppard’s Pyromania into the WPLR Hall of Fame.

PODCAST – Wednesday, May 5: The Strangest TV Shows For Kids; The Dumb Things The Tribe Did When They Were Young; Best No Brainer Movies
With the passing of Wichy-Poo, Chaz and AJ were reminded of the acid trip that was “H.R. Pufnstuf.” Strangely, Ashley loved this show as a kid. After finding audio of the magical flute from “H.R. Pufnstuf,” the Tribe starting calling in the shows they watched as kids that were also very strange. Weinerville?? (0:00)
President Biden called in to talk about wearing masks, and the viral picture of him with Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter. Then, former President Trump crashed the call to talk about the Bill Gates divorce. (17:11)
Dumb Ass News – A kid got himself stuck in an antique, wooden barrel. Predictably, AJ was not very sympathetic. (23:05)
The Tribe shared the dumb things they did as a kids, including getting inside the dryer, trying a “Tarzan” from the roof of the garage, and dropping a glass tank on their own face. (29:28)
Joe Meyers the movie critic was on the phone as Chaz and AJ discussed the best “no brainer” movies, which are big budget movies that require no brain power to enjoy. “True Lies” might be the best one ever, judging by this conversation. (41:11)
Attorney John Haymond called in to promote the start of bike season, and shared a crazy story from his childhood about a fight at the dinner table. (46:43)
