Def Leppard released their eleventh studio and self-title album Def Leppard October 30, 2015. It is their 7th Top 10 album and debuted at #10 on Billboard 200. It peaked at #1 on US Top Rock Albums, US Top Hard Rock Albums and US Independent Albums (all Billboard).
Music critic Dave Everley of Classic Rock magazine had this snarky comment:
"But even that pales into insignificance next to the finger-poppin' white-boy funk of 'Are You Man Enough?', which rips off Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust' so shamelessly that it should come with its own stick-on handlebar moustaches..."
So I had to go back and listen to Man Enough to see why I had missed the similarity. Then I realized, it sounds no more like Another One Bites the Dust than any other song with a heavy bass line.
