Bats, Heaven, Hell.. and Other Stuff: Jim Steinman

I made this recently but didn't publish it. With the sad news of Meat Loaf's passing, I decided to push it out there today.

There's no sign of Jim Steinman, Meat Loaf or Bonnie Tyler in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so I thought I'd make one more list that would cover all three... and here it is - and it even touches on Cher, and how she isn't in there is beyond me. I'll tidy things up in the New Year.
