Just thought I would share some inspiration to those entering this challenge. My bud Bleu is a master at this sort of thing. While he was still under contract with a major label, this was a side project covering the sound of Def Leppard. Loud Lion... Get it? LOL Featuring Allison Robertson from The Donnas on guitar. They even managed to land a movie placement in Balls of Fury. He also did an ELO sounding project called LEO during the same time period. Both albums are fantastic sound a likes he did just for fun!

Wow, that was crazy! If I closed my eyes & just listened, I would think this was early Def Leppard. The 'hey hey' sounded almost identical to what DL has done on so many of their songs.
But yeah, this is exactly what the 'In the Style of' challenge is about. Thanks for sharing this! :)

Not all the same band members. ;-) These were side projects Bleu did while waiting for his album masters to be returned to him. There were three projects Here is the third. Kind of a power-pop of thing with Mike Viola from the Candy Butchers. All great! ;-)

Wow, seriously impressive ....... If they enter then the rest of us had better pack our bags and head home - unless we make them have to cover The Spice Girls "Wannabe" then we may have a chance :)

Clearly they were a pretty talented bunch - this sounds just a little bit like 10cc :)

My song is "You and Me and Him", mixed and mastered by Tom DeGroot. My friend David contributed invisible drums and Tove provided moral support.
