Message-ID: <20050206173803.56471.qmail@web81410.mail.yahoo.com> I think Def Leppard has had their moments, and while a few of these only seem to have disaster written all over them, there is some potential here. One thing that I find disappointing about so many covers records is that the choices seem so uninspired -- as if an A & R person only wanted the artist to do really well known songs -- Def Leppard mixes in a few chestnuts -- Jobriath? McGuinness Flint? A non-hit by Queen? A deep cut by Bowie? An E.L.O. cut also covered by Bobby Sutliff & Mitch Easter? V. cool. The burning question is this: Why isn't Def Leppard covering Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love"? Gregory Sager cover-version trendspotter
