Line 12:
He maintains a labyrinthine [http://www.jimsteinman.com web site] where one can find not only his well-known material, but MP3s of songs from his unfinished magnum opus ''Neverland'' and the abandoned ''Batman the Musical''.

{{tropelist|Tropes associated with Steinman include:}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: He's famous for his eccentricity. When Meat Loaf told the story of his first meeting with Steinman on ''[[VH-1]] Storytellers'', he began with, "Have you ever seen Jim Steinman? He's one weird dude."
* [[Epic Rocking]]: His compositions tend to last a bit longer than the average pop song, and in some cases they're more like mini-operas with distinct movements than songs with verses and choruses. Steinman reportedly burst into tears when he heard that radio stations wouldn't play the twelve-minute album version of "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" (keep in mind that the single edit was pushing it at seven minutes, and it's still one of the longest songs to get to number one in America).
