Good grief
Of course a Christian can listen to Def Leppard.I really wish Christians who ask "Is it okay to listen to insert musician here?" would start thinking for themselves instead asking this secular music board questions like these.

PastorSon,
What else do you listen to? Sounds like your a young man just getting to know music. If you're looking for righteous lyrics I don't think you'll get it with Def Leppard. But if all you want is some good Rock (with a rare moment of Hard Rock) then Def Leppard are great. Along the lines of Foreigner and Styx. And if you don't know those bands, check them out.
God Bless!

Good choices, PoundingMetal. IMO, Def Leppard's most common topic in their songs are love and outside (but not inappropriate) sex. I don't condone outside sex, but it's just a song and is a very common topic in songs and is nothing to hold against Def Leppard. They have no secular music (at least not in the six albums I've heard), and their music is great stuff!
Hysteria is my second favorite album of all time, Euphoria is a pop rock legend IMO, Pyromania is one of the best hard rock albums, Adrenalize is good, and High N Dry's pretty good. Their debut, On Through the Night was decent. Anyway, I'm a major Christian, and Def Leppard's my third favorite band behind Led Zeppelin and Meat Loaf. You should be fine with their music.

Great review and assessment. I had their Albums, and still have memories. A Christian would have to ask what do they stir??? Photograph, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Foolin.... It stirs your lust, or at least mine. They even had an amazing Crossroads with Taylor Swift. I am asking, as Christians if a band stirs lust for women, other than our spouses should we listen. How about "Meatloaf and "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"?

I'm used to Def Lepard going with cheap beer and funnel cake at the county fair.
All jokes aside 80's rock is it's own animal. Same question of could you listen to Poison or Motley Crue - it's all about sex. Depends on how deep you need to sink into the lyrics.

Yeah, these days Pour Some Splenda would definitely be more appropriate.

Lol, when I was 8 or 9 my first record was none other than Hysteria. I remember my mom not being particularly bothered by what I was listening to, when I started getting into Poison and Motley Crue though my dad was getting reasonably annoyed. For some reason with Def Fleppard when I was that young I just didn't get any of the references and left that aside for the beats and mood of it.
Looking back as an adult though I do blush a little thinking of a kid listening to some of those songs but then again it's kind of my own stamps and concepts flooding the thing. Don't get me wrong I think there's a lot of stuff that's completely inappropriate for kids and at least with some bands in the 70's and 80's there as still enough of a barrier up in terms of word play that they could make tunes for adults without necessarily teaching the kids anything they shouldn't be. Gone are those days for sure.

Def Leppard. Maybe a little underrated. A band that never seemed to go beyond its 80s image. I suppose tame by today's standards, though, as far at that goes. Overall, however, there is a lot of other stuff I'd rather be listening to. Certainly, someone 8 or 9 probably shouldn't be listening to DL. I guess it's just a matter of opinion.
