| Hmmm. Okay, this is not personal, but... I think your analysis of IDAFL is something that no Steinman fan could say with a straight face, so I'm assuming this is an "April Fool's" joke. Actually, now I'm convinced your entire post is an "April Fool's" joke. Nice one. You had me going for a minute there. I was actually going to challenge you to name a Steinman song from Bat I that you think IDAFL is an impression of. Now, if this were a serious thread, I might cite: RnR Dreams Two Out of Three Paradise (Really. Its good, but its pretty much Jim's best known song, and not that close to being his best.) > Now, this may be opening up a can of worms but I cant help > but read on here songs that, while I think are good, > aren't really THAT special, everyone is of course welcome > to do discuss and disagree my choices. > > Heaven Can Wait > An odd one, as I really like this song as a piece of > music, it sounds very much like a lullaby as Jim wanted it > to be like that.
