| I enjoyed listening to "Paradise" and "Total Eclipse" and "2/3" when they'd come in the radio during the mid 80s-early 90s. When Bat II came out, I didn't realize the same songwriter that did those songs also wrote "I'd Do Anything For Love." I bought Bat II and was intrigued by the "songs by Jim Steinman label." I hit the Prodigy boards to learn more about him, found the Jim List, and the rest is history. Bad For Good was my first purchase because of Jim.
