I have a vague recollection of Stark Raving Love being played on the Friday Rock Show and enjoying that. It was only when TEOTH came out, which I recall got slammed on Radio1 (in the UK) Roundtable show, where it got reviewed as terrible, and of course that went on to be a transatlantic best seller. I loved the song and then saw the credits and realised that Jim also wrote Bat. A few years later I saw Streets OF Fire and I liked some of the tunes and when I checked them I discovered I liked the Jim songs. So really at that point I started to check out the back catalogue | |
