| I don't like "if it ain't broke" any more than "life is a Lemon.' More angry drum noise to my ears. But since it's not even one that's been heard by many, I don't think it can truly be "overrated" as on the other thread. As for UNDERrated, there will be many, since many were never released and aren't famous as they should be: #1) Out of the Frying Pan - I just love this song. I wish this was the follow up to Anything For Love off Bat II. I think, if given the chance, this could have been huge. #2) Faster than the Speed of Night. This to me is the most Steinmanesque song he's written. It has everything. Blazing Piano. More notes crammed into the smallest possible space. Vivid imagery. Background screamers. It's perfect Steinman. #3) I'll tie these together only because it's the same story. Lost on the Dead Ringer album for some reason: I'll Kill You if you Don't Come Back and I'm Gonna Love her for Both of Us. 2 great songs that the world is simply missing out on for no good reason. > Like the previous thread really.
