They count the British glam bands from the 1970s, such as T. Rex and Sweet, as key influences. However it seems more a reaction to ignorant media types pigeonholing the band than genunine animosity as Leppard have toured with MotleyCrue, Poison and SteelPanther amongst others.

''High & Dry'' seems to be a 7. Perhaps a weak one, but most of the time it's clearly metal, and ''On Through the Night'' is slightly stronger on that front. Phil Collen has remarked on the trend ("We were always halfway between heavy metal and Music/DuranDuran").

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''On Through the Night'' and ''High and Dry'', their first two albums, have a much more straightforward heavy metal style and sound. Their signature melodic hard rock style came into force on the third album ''Pyromania'' due to the influence of their new guitarist Collen and Robert John "Mutt" Lange coming on board to produce this and the massive follow up ''Hysteria''.
