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.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.

semi-indie. Cleveland International was started by an Epic exec and was under Epic's umbrella.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I mailed "Screw the Okampa" by Voltaire to Buffistarawk.

Huh-- I did NOT know that Voltaire is Cuban-American!
