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." Thanks for you reply. I know what you mean. I also associated BOOH with Meat Loaf. I am ashamed to say. Its unfair on Jim but its the way it was promoted. It wasn't until TEOTH that I started to think of Jim as a great songwriter that I wanted to learn about. It was when the publicity for that song brought up the fact that Jim also wrote BOOH. I also loved Jim's version of Rock And Roll Dreams, but not when it first came out. I got to know it after TEOTH. | |
