This isn't nearly as exciting as yesterday's "shiny new stuff to listen to", in fact, I would not be too surprised if you folks started shooting at me, but...
I went into Spotify and made a big playlist of karaoke versions of Jim's songs.
Jim Steinman - karaoke night
It lasts 6 hours and 16 minutes! Don't sing it all at once!
It's roughly in order of release date of the beautiful reflections that came first.
I tried to stick to full length versions and attempted to weed out the crap, but in some cases, there wasn't much to choose from.
Omissions:- there are no karaoke versions of either Jim's "solo" album or Pandora's Box, and there are various other tracks missing.
So you can't torment your neighbours karaoke-ing "Left In The Dark", but you can sing both Dead Ringer *and* Barry Manilow versions of Read Em And Weep.
And oddly enough there is a karaoke version of Nowhere Fast (Fire Inc version) but not Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young ... but THE WHOLE OF TANZ DER VAMPIRE is there in karaoke form. Like, the whole thing, even the instrumental bits and everything. Knoblauch and Bucher Bucher and all the minor songs, I literally mean EVERYTHING. So you could just try singing TIWIMTBY over Tanz Der Vampire, hehehe. :)
Oh and I left out most of Whistle Down The Wind apart from A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste and the Meat version of Home / No Matter What.
BTW - most of these songs are really really "best sung over" rather than "sat and listened to". But some of them really aren't bad!
