Jimmy would never get high in a list like that because he's not known as anything but the guy who writes Meat Loaf's songs. Thats the problem both Jim and Meat have, they are considered a double act. "Whats the point with Morcombe without Wise?".
If people realised that Jimmy wrote all of Bat 1 and Bat 2, most of Bonnie Tylers hits, It's All Coming Back To Me Now and (here's the kicker)... No Matter What (tho, obviously they would need to hear the Original version (Meat's)).
If people realised the other songs he's done are actually him, he might get more credit :) But I guess, Lyrics are a opinion based thing, somepeople don't want meaningful and well-tendered lyrics. :)
On a side-note: I haven't crossed a single person who prefers Boyzone's NMW in comparision to Meat's :) Even one guy hates Meat Loaf, but had to conceed he really liked No Matter What! ... credit were credit's due! :)
