Nah. Meatloaf has an awful voice, strained and tuneless. Bonnie Tyler would have done those songs so much better.

I think Meatloaf had a great voice for those songs at the time. Bonnie Tyler had a great voice for her songs, but I couldn't see it in many Meatloaf/Jim Steinman songs.

Sergent Pepper.......... dross by The Beatles. Yet every radio show that 'compiles' a list of the best [b]or most influential albums of all time[/b] name this at or close to number 1. Makes me wonder if they ever get out these days.....

You may not like it, or indeed get it, that's not important, but to say it wasn't one of the most influential albums of all time is just wrong. It was and still is.

IMO its not there best album, but I cant deny it was there most influential.

Oh well, that's made me look twat hasn't it! :rolleyes:

Actually I've got to admit that having posted that last post I heard "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on the radio and I did think (without knowing who'd written it) "Actually that could easily be a Meatloaf song"

I still think that Meatloaf had a good voice for the songs, obviously not a classic 'good voice' but very suitable for the songs in the same way that Joe Cocker or Tom Waits (or indeed Bonnie Tyler) could be said to have good voices.

(still loving that "Twat" gets through the filter)
