 | Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £6.04 The king of commercial rock made his breakthrough with AC/DC...
|
 | Back in Black by AC/DC
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £5.42 ...before creating one of the biggest selling (and best) rock albums ever. And he was just getting started.
|
 | 4 by Foreigner
Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £4.56 Mutt polished this one off quickly before heading off to rescue a ramshackle British heavy metal band called Def Leppard...
|
 | High'n'Dry by Def Leppard
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.99 ...where he was involved in four albums that have collectively sold over 27 million copies in the US alone...
|
 | Hysteria by Def Leppard
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £2.95 ...including this understated little affair which for ages held the record for the most charting singles from one album on the Billboard Hot 100 (until Mutt broke his own record).
|
 | Heartbeat City by The Cars
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £2.89 Just a hard rock producer (and songwriter and arranger)? Nope.
|
 | Romeo's Daughter by Romeo's Daughter
Buy used from: £24.80 If Mutt Lange does an album, it sells 10 million copies. This little-known lightweight AOR album is the exception to the rule. Still good though.
|
 | Waking Up The Neighbours by Bryan Adams
Buy new: £6.18 / Used from: £0.01 Mutt combined elements of his sound from AC/DC and Leppard and took it into the 90s with this, arguably the album Def Leppard should have made. And yes, Mutt wrote Everything I Do.
|
 | The Woman In Me by Shania Twain
Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £0.90 Much to Nashville's distaste, Mutt then turned his attentions to country, where his slick signature sound sold a few copies...
|
 | Come On Over by Shania Twain
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £0.20 ...and then a few more. Oh, and he married her, by the way. As you do.
|
 | In Blue by The Corrs
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £0.01 Lately, Mutt has mainly just done one- or two-song collaborations with pop artists. Breathless? That was him.
|
 | Millennium (Limited Edition 2) by Backstreet Boys
Buy used from: £0.44 However lacking in credibility some of his recent work has been, you can't argue with success this consistent.
|
 | Oops! ... I Did It Again (Special UK Edition) by Britney Spears
Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £0.01 Er... a bit of rock wouldn't go amiss though, Mutt. Oh, and you should note that he only did one or two songs with Britney or the Backpassage Boys.
|
 | Anthology by City Boy
Buy used from: £9.77 If you're looking for the roots of Lange, this features his first ever hit, 5-7-0-5.
|
 | Tear Down These Walls by Billy Ocean
Buy used from: £0.80 Oh admit it, you like Get Out of My Dreams, Get into my Car.
|
 | The One Thing by Michael Bolton
Buy used from: £0.02 When trying to convince friends of Mutt's genius, you might not want to mention this.
|
 | Who Made Who by AC/DC
Buy new: £9.48 / Used from: £6.04 But the pop can be tolerated (or even sometimes guiltily enjoyed) as long as he does the odd thing like this...
|
 | Euphoria by Def Leppard
Buy used from: £2.12 ...and this tragically overlooked album, with three Mutt contributions. You should also know Mutt has written for Heart, Huey Lewis, Loverboy, and Celine Dion.
|
 | 18 Til I Die by Bryan Adams
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £0.01 This deserves a mention as the last full rock album he did. So there you have it: Mutt Lange, genius -- not cool, but very, very successful.
|
 | Tonic for the Troops by The Boomtown Rats
Buy used from: £0.86 Doh! I can't believe I almost forgot this. Mutt was in charge for most of the Rats' output in their heyday: check your album credits.
