I think it's worth noting that the album itself reached #63 in the US and #7 in the UK, which is pretty good considering.

Although Steinman is credited with Lead vocals, Rory Dodd is credited as 'Featured vocals'. If you have the free EP that came with the album it says on the back for Lost Boys - Featured Vocals :Rory Dodd, exactly the same for Surf's Up. It doesn't for Rock'n'Roll Dreams, which it should, but if that's Steinmans only single release, then it's not really a solo effort if you're crediting someone else with the vocals.

It's clearly noticeable on Surf's Up especially when the 'And my body is burning like a naked wire' kicks in. Steinman could never reach those notes, the pitch is too high for him.
I personally think Bad For Good is an excellent album but Steinman's vocals on what he sings, suck.
