I am only including songs that were released commercially, because it just doesn't seem fair to include demos & such. I am also skipping spoken-word and instrumental pieces.
My least favorite Steinman songs - the ones that even I, as a connoisseur of very ripe cheese, can safely declare just plain bad:
Rebel Without A Clue
Loving You's A Dirty Job
Cry to Heaven
Braver Than We Are
Cry to Heaven
Safe Sex
Dance In My Pants (aw, jeez!)
A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste (Everly Bros Version)
I agree with mickp and Wilbury that the production on "Holding Out for a Hero" is atrocious. I really hate the production on the "Secret Dreams" album - you might say that my rule of thumb for evaluating Jim's productions would be a scale with "Secret Dreams" lowest, at 1 and "Pandora's Box" as a 10.
(Thus for production alone, "Bat II" gets an 7, "Streets of Fire" gets a 6, Sisters of Mercy get a 10, "Tanz der Vampire" gets a 8, etc...)
