Def Leppard - Yeah!

Yeah! is the ninth studio album by British hard rock band Def Leppard, originally released in May 2006 via Bludgeon Riffola and Mercury Records.

For their ninth studio album, Def Leppard have created YEAH!, a heartfelt and hard-rocking tribute to their musical heroes of the late 60's and 70's. These include The Kinks, Badfinger, T. Rex, David Bowie, Sweet, Roxy Music, Mott The Hoople, Free, Faces and Thin Lizzy.

Recording stellar versions of the music that influenced their youth, they have brilliantly merged the "now" with the "then" to create a buzz that can only be summed up in one word, YEAH!

The accompanying album artwork contains photographs of the band members recreating classic images from '70s album covers with:

• Joe Elliott – David Bowie from the rear cover of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
• Rick Allen – Lou Reed, Transformer
• Phil Collen – The Stooges, Raw Power

The album reached #16 on the US Billboard 200, #52 on the UK and #95 on the Australian albums charts.
