I was wavering as to whether or not I liked this, and then remembered that I don't hesitate to admit loving Bat Out of Hell, so I obviously have a weakness for overblown melodrama, ergo I must like this.  So I do.  What the hell, who needs cred anyway.

I play my radioparadise very quietly at work.  This song always grabbed my attention, and I'd turn it up as loud as I dared.  It seems I never hear it any more, and I miss it.

Aw quit your bitch-in.  It's not a bad song.  Far better than Neil Young, which I thought RP played way too much.  Baxter can actually hold a tune...not quite as good as Buckley, but good nonetheless.

Top 40 be damned!!!  If I wanted top 40 I'd be listening to "The Star 93.3, Peterborough's best new music".  I'm not.

There are two types of 'good' songs for me.  Those that start off good and then lose their hold on me, and those that I have to work my way into, and become old friends.  The Tom Baxter songs have been a bit of a problem for me, as the ones I've heard don't follow either rule.  All three songs I've heard have knocked my socks off from the get go, and have kept sucking me further in the more times I've heard them, which has been pretty often, even for RP.

I reckon the only cure is to buy the album, and play it until either the CD or I wear out...

P.S.  Top 40 just means popular, not good, IMO.

Yeah, the playlist is a mess. Right now Jesse Sykes is on but it says "Now playing: Apocalyptica-Drive".
It's been like that for an hour or so. Next up is Richard Shindell.......?
