Good work Jenny and eumaas. :shifty:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

My recall of Bat out of hell is it was pretty a big deal where i was based and while it wasn't my bag, i always associated it with the "classic" category. Seemed to be more appreciated in the UK for some reason, at least had a good bit more than 2 hits this side of the pond.


Yes, I'm surprised at people on here calling them a one hit wonder, I always assumed they were as big in America.

I grew up with Bat Out of Hell and I do like the title track, and You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth is a fantastic song. I also thought Deadringer For Love was a shitkicking little ditty.

Who the fuck is John Farnham? He has the second best selling album in Australia. Also, why isn't ACDC in the top 20? This is as egregious as the UK hating Zeppelin.

He must have sung that "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" song. And where's The Easybeats?

And Split Enz or Crowded House?

The 4th best selling album of all time so hardly a shock? It has spent over 10 years in the UK album chart.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
