Song: Making Love Out of Nothing At All
Why it is among the best? One of the greatest power ballads ever written, and of course it was composed by Jim Steinman. I told you this man would appear on this list again! This is one of those songs I listen regularly and just know inside and out. Like many other Steinman's hit songs, this also was written for Meat Loaf.

Song: Children of the Earth
Why it is among the best? This song has been with me since my school days, I still listen to it regularly. It's timeless. The lyrics have environmental message, the chorus is super catchy and the production perfectly summarizes the best bits of British heavy metal of the early 80's. The latter half has that epic solo going back and forth with that must-have tapping part... everything about this is so memorable. I have always loved their great use of rich vocal harmonies and multiple singers.

As a kid I didn't read any graphic novels, just some quick and easy comic books, but as I've gotten older I have really found myself enjoying and respecting the fine art of Alan Moore. At best Moore is shamelessly creative and psychedelic, his stories could vary from straight out horror to more poetic stream of consciousness. In Moore's own words, the bulk of his work was designed to push the boundaries of comic book storytelling and create something truly great and unique that couldn't and shouldn't be translated into any other media. This is also why he has denounced and speaks publicly so harshly about the Hollywood films based on his books. When Alan Moore is on the roll, he is truly one of the best and most interesting comic book writers around.

A good little horror film by Del Toro. It's fun to watch a horror story that's actually interesting and well-written for a change and not just some mind-numbing gorefest.
