| That is soooooo crazy that you cna think that hero goes more over the top than Stark Raving Love!?! Hero doesn't go frigging ANYWHERE, much less over the top. It's boring a as shit, the first thing I thought when I heard it was that it was just a demo or something. Some synth / drum machine pattern (and not a good one) with the piano riff transplanted from a different song plonked on top, and that's IT! It doesn't go anywhere or do anything. It has no real intro, no real outro, no finale, no variation. Its just a drum pattern for 4 or 5 minutes, whatever it is, then fades out. Yawn. :o) > > > > Holding out for a hero was the first time I experienced it > > as well.
