This is so hard. As a fan, I want Jim to have written all of everything he's touched or tasted. I mean, I credit him with pretty much all of "Holding Out for a Hero." There's nothing there that doesn't sound like Jim, ya know? I believe Jim had a hand in, if not his whole cock out, the music of the Whistle version of AKIATTTW. And I think Annie Christmas is all his. Ater that? Who knows? I love Nature of the Beast, therefore I want Jim to have written the music as well as the words. But obviously ALW has his talents and I suppose he must have written most of the music if that's what the credits say.
