In this rock special, metal legends Joe Elliott and Phil Collen of Def Leppard chat to Sara Cox about their ride through the 80s.

Sara will also be playing some of the hairiest rock anthems from the decade and picking her favourite tracks, with videos from soft rock to heavy metal, via girls who rock and guys with giant hair.
