Jim Steinman was an American composer best known for his work with Meat Loaf.

In general I find his music unbearably swollen kitsch. Bombast is the word. Steinman himself called it Wagnerian rock.

However, I admit that I have soft spot for “Total Eclipse of the Heart” (1983), a song interpreted by Bonnie Tyler.

That song happens to be in the Jahsonic top 1000 (part 2).
