"Paradise" I will, and have, listened to voluntarily, so it wins by default.

You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I just saw Total Eclipse of the Heart, the literal video version, and it was funnier than a very fucking funny thing, so I'm going to have to go with that for the Lulz.
Meanwhile...would Buffistarawk happen to be harbouring any Voltaire? Or - might it possibly be able to harbour any Voltaire at a future date? Because I have acquired Almost Human, and When You're Evil by kosher means, but I am now all out of kosher means. And it's very much my cup of chai.

What's better: Total Eclipse of the Heart or Paradise by the Dashboard Light
What is this, musical DINAO? Though Two Out of Three Ain't Bad would have made it more so than Paradise.
But both of those songs are inferior to This Corrosion. Hey now, hey now now.
As are most other songs.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Unbelievable! I just realised that I left "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" off Wallybee's Drama CD! That's just wrong. There will need to be a do-over.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I have much love for "heaven's just a funky moose", but the Journey simply isn't as Epic as Paradise or Eclipse. Those two are really in a class all their own.

It is true, they stand in a class of their own, and that class is THE STEINMAN.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
With Total Eclipse we have the literal video. Paradise I have seen performed live, with staging, in Dallas with a hometown crowd.
I am unable to consider either one with any objectivity.
Edit: Hmm, Bat Out Of Hell was on the charts for nine YEARS. That has to count for something.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Meanwhile...would Buffistarawk happen to be harbouring any Voltaire?
There should be. Jilli sent me some and I think it went through Buffistarawk. (Which prompted me to go buy his albums so....just good marketing!)
If you just search for Voltaire it should come up. It might be in 2, though.

Punishingly Intricate
(Or, you know, all three for the total karaoke lose, only topped by motherfucking "Love Shack".)
Lose?? Total Eclipse KILLS at karaoke! HILARIOUS!!

Wikipedia is a menace. I was unaware that not only did it chart for nearly a decade, Bat Out of Hell was on an indie label.
