A-Z CDs - Day 16

The Ds are a pretty solid part of my collection, holding both my favorite song and favorite album ever.
134. The Darkness - Permission to Land (last listen: 0-3 months) - With songs about genital warts ("Growing On Me"), shooting up heroin ("Givin' Up"), defending your woman's honor ("Get Your Hands Off of My Woman (Motherfucker)"), and believing in a thing called love ("I Believe in a Thing Called Love"), the Darkness's debut album pretty much rocked the shithouse.
135. The Darkness - One Way Ticket To Hell . . . And Back (last listen (0-3 months) - In addition to the title track, "Knockers" and "Hazel Eyes" are two of my favorites off this one. It's too bad Justin Hawkins quit the band to save himself from drugs and alcohol. I would have liked another album or two.
136. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew (last listen: 2-5 years) - I used to listen to jazz when I was studying in law school because it had no words to distract me.
137. Dazed and Confused (soundtrack) (last listen: 3 months to 1 year)
138. (Even More) Dazed and Confused (soundtrack) (last listen: 5+ years) - Because what's a Dazed and Confused soundtrack CD without "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts?
139. Deep Purple - Deepest Purple: The Very Best of Deep Purple (last listen: 2-5 years)
140. Def Leppard - On Through the Night (last listen: 0-3 months) - A rough, but solid, hard-rocking debut from the boys from Sheffield, establishing them as late New Wave of British Heavy Metal stalwarts. "Wasted," "Rock Brigade," and "It Could Be You" are my favorites off this album.
141. Def Leppard - High 'N' Dry (last listen: 0-3 months) - With Mutt Lange on board to produce, the "sophomore slump" was nonexistent for Def Leppard. This is trying its damnedest to wrest Hysteria from the title of My Favorite Def Leppard Album. High 'N' Dry is an all-around solid, rockin' album, with "Let It Go," Another Hit and Run," "High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night)" (voted #33 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs), and of course "Bringing On the Heartbreak" (followed by Steve Clark's 3-minute instrumental masterpiece, "Switch 625"). "You Got Me Runnin'" is now my second favorite Def Leppard song (behind "Pour Some Sugar On Me," which is, and will always be, my favorite song ever by any band).
142. Def Leppard - Pyromania (last listen: 0-3 months) - A lot of people don't realize that the only album that charted higher than Pyromania in 1983 was Thriller.
143. Def Leppard - Hysteria (last listen: 0-3 months) - The first album after Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident, Hysteria was (and is) a mega hit, selling over 22 million copies to date. One of only 3 rock albums to have seven singles make the Billboard Hot 100, Hysteria was a hit factory: "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Love Bites," "Animal," "Hysteria," "Armageddon It," "Rocket," and "Women."
