Def Leppard, in many ways, was the definitive hard rock band of the '80s. There were many bands that rocked harder, and were more dangerous, than the Sheffield quintet, but few others captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late '70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the group actually owed more to the glam rock and metal of the early '70s -- their sound was equal parts T. Rex, Mott the Hoople, Queen, and Led Zeppelin. By toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody, Def Leppard was poised for crossover success by 1983's Pyromania, but skillfully used the fledgling MTV network to their advantage.

Action Lyrics

Def Leppard

So you think youll take another piece of me to satisfy your intellectual need.
(do you want...)
Do you want action?
(action, action, action)
Gonna bring you down cause youre pushin me, you gotta recognize my superiority.
(liar, liar, liar, liar.)
You know you believed it.
(liar, liar, liar, liar.)
Cause Im the main man.
And thats why
Evrybody wants a piece of the action.
Evrybody needs a main attraction.
I got what evrybody needs, satisfaction guaranteed.
Evrybody wants a piece of the action.
Oo, I was suicidal cause she was my idol.
Baby, baby, baby bring it to your knees!
Now there was a time I would have walked the line
(dont you bring me down.)
With your insatiable greed
Do you want action, action?
Evrybody wants, evrybody needs
Evrybody wants, evrybody needs
